               • If you have a large class, it can be more difficult to take time to gather enough evidence. One of the
                 challenges for B1 level is to improve independence, thus, you may want to use time to convey some self-
                 assessment strategies so that you diminish the level of support from help to coordination. The more time you
                 and your students take to move to a more autonomous level, the less chance your students will have to attain
                 the expected level. Remember, the purpose is for them to be independent users and, in real life (or situations
                 close to it, such as a certification exam) they are expected to act by themselves without any guide.
