The teacher then could help the students to use correct language item in their communication during the discussion or role play session.



·         Integrated Skills work
This technique integrated all the four main skills in teaching language and makes the learning process interesting and enjoyable.
 Andrew highlighted the JIGSAW READING activity for this session which was very interesting because:
  • It helps build comprehension.
  • It encourages cooperative learning among students.
  • It helps improve listening, communication, and problem-solving skills.
During this slot Andrew paired the students to act as an Auditor and an Accountant.
The pair then has to explain to each other about what they do in their job by stressing on certain topic – related words (Word Rose) regarding their job to their partner.  This activity has created a meaningful communication between the pairs.
