First lessons
In each new teaching position a teacher will be faced
with meeting a number of new classes for the first
time. These classes are vital for the teacher to
establish rapport with the students and set the tone for
the rest of the course. Such classes can fall into two
categories:
?
New group – in this kind of group the students don't
know each other and some work will be needed to
establish rapport between the class members.
Students may be unfamiliar with EFL methodology.
Existing group – in an existing group the students are

needs of the class.

course syllabus.
