Any important phonological features to point out to students?

Special attention to the pronunciation of the letter combination "ss", "ch", "ou" in word exeptions.

What problems will learners have form, meaning / concept and phonology? Mention your solutions.

The learners may mix learning strategies of listening for detail and listening for main gist - focus the Ss’ attention on it.

The learners may forget to give arguments, giving personal opinion on the topic – remind the Ss about it.

Is the issue of appropriacy relevant? Why / why not?

The issue of appropriacy is relevant because the vocabulary learnt at the previous lessons is being practised together with grammatical structures in controlled practice.
