class. The students take an active part in this lesson. They can

practice their listening, reading, speaking, writing abilities. And they can also learn to work with others. In this class they have

more chances to speak English and they also have a platform to show themselves. But I should try my best to encourage the students who are too shy or have difficulty in studying English. During the class, I make a proper evaluation of their work. I can also know about the studies of my students by doing activities and exercises.
