Teaching
First class
Hey guys
Tomorrow ill be giving my first class, and i have no idea how to plan a lesson.
if you have any tips id appreciate it
i will only have 2 students (18 and 30 yrs old)
im not sure what books they use all i know its upper intermediate
the class will be 2 hours long
they told me to come in 1 hour before to plan the lesson (and talk about what times and days im free to work)
im not sure if its like a modal lesson or if other teachers will be watching me
they just said they wanted to see how my first week went to talk about which classes ill be teaching etc.
im in south america (i can speak spanish fluently)
tips on how to plan lessons and what an 18 and 30 year old might have in common so they are interested and like the lesson, if they were kids id have them singing and playing games but im not to sure i can with these two students
what are your experiences teaching adults and in a class of only 2 students??

I was once in a situation similar to yours. Music and movies, I thought, would be a good topic. I asked my two students to talk about their favorite actors/actresses and musicians.

eg.
- about them (short discussion on a subject they have in common) - 15 mins
- intro to the unit - 5 mins
etc.... i have no idea how to plan the lesson (2hour lesson)
(are adults ok with maybe role- playing or will

I'm sure there are a number of experienced teachers here in EF who can be of great help to you.
I think you first need to ask your students to give you some information about their background. For example, the books they have studied, the classes they have attended so far and also their goals.
Their answers will give you an insight into their abilities. The process of knowing your stude
