Week 4: Project Step #3: Class Issue

I am working in Central University of Ecuador as English teacher where students need to study and to pass 8 levels of a foreign language as a requirement before finishing their college career and they are from 18 to 29 years old. The principal problem is that there are 35 to 40 students in each classroom and the building is inadequate to 2000 or more students .Thus, we have to go to different faculties to dictate the English class.

On the other hand, teachers have to find our own useful materials to teach because the institute only give us the books, the class and a CD player, so that we have to figure out the best method, techniques or strategies to work.
However ,we prepare extra materials such as: lyrics, puzzles, games, role play,  debates, pictures /prediction, TPR/ gestures  and quotes to motivate my students to learn English .

Finally, It’s not simple to apply technology in the classroom because I don't have enough equipment or tools.
