Aims:
1. to improve students` reading skills
2. to activate sudents` prediction skills through maps, photos, titles
3. to enhance reading for gist, scanning, reading for details
4. to express personal opinion and defend it

Personal aims:
1. to develop my ability to motivate students to predict a topic of a text nad to speak about
their opinion
2. through providing authentic stimuli, to enhance students reading skills and speaking skills
3. to enhance Ss sustainable education development

Anticipated problems and solutions:

Students might feel embarrassed to express themselves in front of the others – the inhibition is
the reason that they prefer to be silent in order not to make mistakes. It can be overcome by
motivating visuals, video clips, pair and group work. Focus on conveying the message, not on the
form can be motivating to them. Error correction should be gentle and not necessary if there is
comprehensible meaning in their utterance.
