A number of challenges emerged as affecting large numbers of teachers in different educational contexts, namely, teaching speaking, motivation, differentiating learning, teaching large classes, discipline, teaching writing, and teaching grammar. Teaching a language has many different features. Furthermore, teachers have to understand what students learn, how and why such learning influences them, how lessons could be beneficial for them in the future.
