1. Invest time in getting to know your students
The first class with your secondary students is a great opportunity to get to know them personally. The quicker 
you build rapport, the easier your job will be. Take the time to 
ask questions about their strengths, 
weaknesses, interests and objectives
. 
A simple questionnaire can provide all the information you need to understand their individual needs and can 
also serve as a fun pair work activity or icebreaker after the holiday break. 
Here are some example questions to get you started: 

Why are you learning English and how will it help you in the future? 

Do you prefer working individually, in pairs or in a larger group? 

What activities do you like doing in class? Role plays, making videos, using songs etc. 

What was the best thing about your previous English class? What didn’t you like about it? 

Have you taken any official exams before? Would you like to? 

How would you rank these skills in order of strongest to weakest: Grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, 
speaking, listening, writing, and reading. 

What things do you like to do outside of school? 

What topic would you choose if you had to talk about something for a minute in English? 
Teenagers are social and curious creatures – make your needs analysis more interactive by having them 
interview each other and then writing a short report outlining what they discovered about their new classmate. 
Not only will you find out their interests and they’ll get to know each other – you’ll get a writing sample too! 
By allowing the students to voice their ideas, you demonstrate that you are inclusive of different personalities 
and receptive to new teaching ideas. You’ll also know exactly what activities and themes your students will 
respond well to, and keep them motivated and focused on personal development. 
Note that if your students’ English level is low, this kind of questionnaire will be more effective in their native 
language.
