Different attitudes towards communication in English.

Effective communication involves future careers and personal needs so the lesson today is important in the perspective of applying this
information in the real life.

15. ANTICIPATED PROBLEMS:

Working in teams is less relevant for personal achievement so it is advisable that all the students should have the opportunity to express
themselves in English.

There is a continuous assessment during the lesson because the teacher has given some exercises in order to practise the notions learnt.

The highest standards in communication may not be attained by the students taking into consideration their age and level.

The teacher should translate some parts of the lesson into Romanian because the students are young and because it is their fourth year of
English.
