Analyze the information in the class summary. What are your learners’ strengths and weaknesses?
Note: Cover all learners. (max. 100 words)
Upon reviewing the class summary, it's clear that each student has different strengths and areas they need to work on. Ana excels in reading and writing but needs
improvement in listening and speaking, Bilal is doing well overall but should also focus on improving his speaking skills. Chen is strong in reading but needs to work on both
his listening and speaking skills. Delphine and Francesca exhibit lower scores across all skills, indicating a need for overall language skill improvement. Mihai excels in
reading but lacks in listening, writing, and speaking. The students clearly demonstrate a significant strength in their reading skills, with most of them attaining a band score of
7.0. However, the listening, writing and speaking skills are definitely the weaker points, with the average band score for writing at 5.8, while both listening and speaking
average at 5.75. This underscores the need for focused improvement in these areas, practicing these weaker skills will contribute to achieving desired IELTS bands for all
students.

For Speaking, the focus will be on Part 2, this section requires students to articulate well-structured and fluent responses to a given topic for approximately 2 minutes
without interruption. This practice will involve honing pronunciation, intonation, and vocabulary use. The aim is to help students efficiently organize their thoughts within the
allotted time and deliver compelling speeches.
For the Listening skill, the focus will be on Section 4, which involves a lecture on an academic or work-related topic. In this lesson, the lecture pertains to a subject on work,
following the format of the IELTS Listening section. Section 4 is widely acknowledged as the most challenging part of the listening test, demanding students to answer two
sets of questions after a single playback of the recording. Typically, this involves filling out a form followed by addressing five multiple-choice questions. Practicing this
section is crucial, as it will expose students to diverse accents and familiarize them with the question types.
By tailoring the lesson to address these specific areas and meet the unique needs of the class, our objective is to instill confidence and competence in both Speaking and
Listening. This tailored approach aims to establish a well-rounded foundation for success in the IELTS exam and beyond. Through targeted practice, students can confront
