speak English because of those factors. Consequently, John was not in the mood
for English lesson especially when the teacher asked him for giving opinion or
having presentation in front of the class.

was Mrs. Williams. Fortunately, this new English teacher was very caring and
patient. She was willing to give her hand whenever John and his classmates need
some help due to the difficulties with her lesson. She said that she allowed
her students to play their own cassettes and listen to English language songs
during the lesson.In short,while John an his classmates were taking notes or
doing assignment,they were also entertained.

students studied theories about English language in general. Then, in the

games such as scrabble or their favorite one. It was so much fun! With a lot of
