STUDENTSPROBLEMS:
I anticipate that the following may cause problems:
students may be tempted to use Romanian while working in pairs or answering the teacher's questions.
taking into consideration that 4-5 students have a poor level of knowledge and their motivation is rather
low , the teacher expects that a part of her young students might not participate in the teaching/learning
process as expected.
some of the students might forget to bring their favourite photo
