Hello,

I had this problem with adult students before too. I would usually try to plan the notes/direct instruction for right in the beginning of class. The rest of the class was for activities to practice the new grammar and vocabulary taught. Any student who missed the instructional part would feel a bit lost. This helped a little.

With these non credit type classes students are just going to be more relaxed. I usually try to plan activities that are easy for a late student to jump into. Good luck!
