Default Re: Intermediate Students

Thank you so far for the websites you found relating KET Exams. I looked at the Cambridge ESOL Website when I started reviewing course structure with my students a few weeks ago. I printed out some info. for my students and read up on the sort of things that my students would expect in their exam.

Furthermore, it mentioned that the British Council in Seoul, Korea, is a provider for the KET Exam. However, when I contacted the British Council in Korea, they mentioned that they don't adminstrate the KET Exam at their centre. So, I fell at the first attempt with my students implementing a constructive yet practical lesson each day. But I would like to continue with a change of course structure for my students because they are lacking motivation to learn.

I spend about 1 hour 10 minutes a day with the students in the evening each day, Monday to Friday. Would a course structure concentrating at an area of study work each day (eg, reading Mon., writing Tues., speaking Wed., listening Thurs. then a review Fri.) or would it be best to spread this each week (eg, reading wk. 1, writing wk. 2, speaking/listening wk. 3 and review wk. 4)? I hope you understand what I am getting at.

I shall have a look at ESL Pod for some conversations or monologues to use within the class. I guess my next buy for my music shall be an iPod and connect some small speakers to them for my lessons. Anyone use an iPod yet for lessons?

I feel very tired though. It looks like I shall have to plan my lessons during the weekend for the following week as well as prepare my elementary/pre-intermediate students for their lessons. But less about my problems.

Thanks for the advice so far.

Martin
