teaching practice taking to account what my students
need?

2. Help the learners to pay attention to features of authentic input : In this way the students develop language awareness by themselves.
3. Provide the learners with opportunities to use the language to achieve communicative purposes: Prepare activities in which the students can use the language rather than practice it.
4. Provide opportunities for outcome feedback: It is important to develop language awareness.
5. Achieve impact in the sense that they arouse and sustain the learner’s curiosity and attention: Classes that motivate English language learning.
