First of all, I love these ideas and definitely see a lot that I could incorporate and share with my department. But- are there any suggestions for how to modify or make this work for when you have a challenging class. For example:
-30-36 students
-frequent absences meaning that students might not have acquired the basic vocabulary
- students who want to speak only English, be off topic or refuse to participate

yes/no

I LOVED YOUR PRESENTATION!!
