   “It is very difficult to bring interaction and acquisition into my classes – I have more than 30 students in each class and very few resources”
   

(What can the teacher do to use more interactive activities in these classes? What type of pair work or group work activities do you recommend? How can she improve the language acquisition of students with few resources?)
Answers:
I think so,it is really difficult to study 30 students, they are really plenty, so I can advise that teachers should divide small groups, in that cases it is much more easier.for example, teachers should give handout to their students.if it is impossible,the most useful way to increase learners knowledge to use of technology.For examples, watching TV ,mainly cartoon ,is helpful and interesting for little learning, for teenagers listening or reading activities are useful, or to organise speaking club.

2. 
   “I am teaching General English in the language center. I think learning by heart the words is an old-fashioned way of teaching vocabulary. I don’t know how to teach new words each lesson using different techniques)
   

Answers:
It is right to learn by heart new words is old-fashioned way of teaching vocabulary. In my opinion, teacher may use of high technology, for example watching cartoon ,films and some videos which is related to the new topic.in other way to organise different activity. For example, to tell definition and learners should find what is it.
3.(Recommend some techniques for vocabulary teaching with examples. Write the names of websites where the teacher can find resources for lessons)
Answers: Realistically, I use of much more websites for organizing interesting activity for pupils .I can advise this websites without hesitation .www.vocabulary.com.,www.eapfoundation.com,breaking news English.

  Class of 15 primary school children who are energetic and loud.
  
• 
  Group of adult learners with various professions whose age is above 40.
  
• 
  Group of learners with memory problems.
  

Answer
1In this situation .EFL teacher should be more active than children, because in that cases, children have no time for being loud in classroom. EFL teachers roles in the classroom such as controller, organizer, assessor, prompter, participant, resource, tutor, observer, and as teaching aid. These roles can help the EFL teacher does his work as well as help the EFL learners to learn the English language.When it comes to primary pupils EFL teacher should be polite and lover children.
2. For group of adults who has own profession .Such kind of learners have own aim to learn foreign language. So, In this class EFL teacher's role to teach subject seriously and more practical connecting to proffessions which enrich their work experience too . In this situation teacher's role is more instructor and full of recource owner because these students have enough experience in life .
3. In this situation , teacher's role much more significiant because it is the most challenging situation to work with memory of problems . Teacher should be more tolerant and hard working to work with students due to their memory . Teacher is more organizer in this occasion because teacher should find a lot of interesting ways to make lesson memorable and repititive .
