PROBLEM: Ss might be confused about the grammar. SOLUTION: make the grammar more tangible with simple examples. PROBLEM: The Ss are of a lower level than expected and have trouble answering the reading tasks set. SOLUTION: Encourage as much peer-support as possible, monitor and help as required, really focus on justification of answers in feedback, allow longer for the tasks.
