In this unit we can recognize the different
characteristics of the students that a teacher has to take into account into a
lesson planning for an EFL class, there are many aspects in which those element
can influent inside of a class and will be determiners for students’ progress.
Here we have the learning
styles which determine that kind of activities that can be set for a class;
here are some of the learning styles like: visual, auditory, kinesthetic,
group, individual, reflective and impulsive. Which the best ways are and how
students learn in the classroom; here we have also some learning strategies that can be use are: repeating, taking risks,
and guessing meaning, peer-evaluation, paraphrasing.
Teacher should take in consideration the maturity
that is the students are divided in three categories that are children,
teenagers and adults, and these categories are useful because are selected by
the physical, mental and emotional maturity the ones that lest a teacher know
what kind of content can be taught to the students. A teacher may realize that
a student has something like “past
language learning experience” it is something that every student has before
start English class with a teacher, your pupils will have learn in a different
way the grammar structures or vocabulary, so, it can cause some troubles with
them until they get accustom with your way of teaching.
Finally, it may say that no matter how well a teacher
knows their students in a EFL class cannot be many students because they are
not the same at the end and it could be considered as a big obstacle in a class
in order to arrange the correct activities for all of them.
