Low-Intermediate 4 Tips

1. Each unit is 2 weeks. If you have your students for less than 3 hours a week, you may want to consider taking more time for a unit. If students are picking up the material quickly and easily, you can try picking up the pace so that you make quicker progress through the level. Just remember that learning some material really well is better than learning a lot of material and forgetting everything.

2. Review of Low-Intermediate 3 Vocabulary: The first two units are review of previous levels. Some teachers find the vocabulary a little overwhelming if the students haven't done low-intermediate 3. You can choose just the words you want to focus on or skip the vocabulary if you want.

3. Grammar Review: If you find that students are struggling a bit with be-verbs (Beginners 4), present simple or present continuous (Low-Intermediate 1), future or past simple tenses (Low-Intermediate 2), past continuous or present perfect (Low-Intermediate 3), you can head back to those levels and print off what you need to spend some more time reviewing before moving on with the Low-Intermediate 3 materials.

4. Weak Readers: If your students need to work on reading and phonics, you will want to bring in some practice sheets from Beginners 1-3. Look for the word lists and reading passages for the phonics your students need work on.
