6. REMEDIAL WORK PROPOSAL

In the class I observed the teacher barely uses English, and students have some difficulties to
understand what the teacher said. This is a Basic English level, so they are not able to
understand instructions, explanations, etc. For this reason, I based my vocabulary test on basic
concepts which are verbs.

7. GENERAL CONCLUSION
According to students results the tests for them was successful. At the time of applying it
students did not have difficulties to answer and comprehend the instructions and the content. I
could notice it because they did not ask about anything related to the test.
