2. Class description
The students in elementary level (A2.1) are between the ages of 18 and 20.
There are 28 females and 22 males. All of them are non-specialized English
students, and due to the fact that the class starts at 7 a.m. on Saturday,
students might not be in the mood. If the class is in a stressful atmosphere
with a lot of boring tasks, such as only writing down new words and doing
exercises without any other interesting activities, they may not pay attention
to the lesson. Therefore, the class should occur with some various activities
for motivating students, like quizzes, scramble word, or cross-word games.

3. Timetable fit
The lesson takes place from 7 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. on Saturday mornings. In the
previous lesson, the students warmed up this topic through the vocabulary
about free-time activities with the combination of their hobbies and interests
and grammar about the form of words after “love” or “like”. This periods,
they keep going with grammar about adverb of frequency.They practice
speaking skills by discussing with their partner this topic. They also know
how to make words for jobs by adding suffixes to verbs and nouns. Next
week, the class will learn about the vocabulary about some specific sports,
and grammar about the ability: “can” and “cannot”, also their pronunciation.
