solutions for problems..

There is diverse level of students in class. It is not easy to deal with them, some of them struggle to understand or form quite basic sentences.

- Critical thinking is difficult to me, not to mention students.
I think they definitely need Korean to think and communicate with others. and they need time to express to English. First we should give them materials to understand easily (pictures or video clips)
although they don't know English well, and then we have to give them key phrase words (not a sentence) and let them tell in Korean. Give them time to write answer- mind map maybe good way to organize their thinking, teacher should help student how to think words in English.
