Students learn English to win places on Olympiad, pass IELTS, enter the university, work abroad and for the future goals
They like learning English at school
I can say that they are very active and motivated
I think that it was right decision to ask students what do they expect from my lessons and want to have during my teaching. Turned out that students like singing, watching English shows and playing games. My students love interactive activities and games, they are very active when doing exercises that interest them, also they prefer games to check their grammar such as Kahoot, mines/life.., tic tac toe, jeopardy and so on ; during the lesson students are free to ask questions and help to each other, they also prefer group work and love the game Stop the bus! All information collected helped me very well to have a base for the future work and also to build a good relationships with students.
