The Importance of Different Students’ Profiles - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
Every student requires something different to learn English successfully. Aside from one-on-one lessons, teachers usually will not have the time to dedicate extensive attention to each student, though. Not every English-learner will be given a unique lesson catered to their needs. However, teachers can develop plans that fit best for general types of students based on their profiles. Factors such as students' age, language level, and motivation for learning helps teachers identify a student profile and thus develop the best lessons to get them engaged.Table of Contents

What we're going to do is to show the students a video of animals and they are going to say what they like about those animals and try to create a list of some more.
