This group was really a very good experience. Relaxed set up of positive people always willing to learn and interested in how the Czech works:) The goal was being defined gradually as the time passed. As the level of the group was not balanced and everyone “knew” something it was important to settle the “basics” and in the mentime to promote students to be more creative (speaking activities). We still followed the compulsory textbook of “Czech Step by Step” which was sometimes enough and very often it needed to be enriched by my own materials to make students improve and to let them see wider spectrum of the language (vocabs, phrases for instance). As some of the students were very hardworking the tempo of the group was quite high.
