PROCEDURE:
A) Phonetic practice

each sound. While practising stress patterns, they should be encouraged to identify
as many words as possible for each pattern.
B) Speech practice
Every student should be allowed to choose one theme to specialize in.
(However not more than 7 students in a section can choose the same theme).The
teacher has to prepare at least 4 hints development tasks on each theme and
should provide chance to each learner to speak on those hints related to his/ her
theme (5 minutes).The hints may be supplied to the students in advance. When a
student speaks, the class should be encouraged to ask questions as well as note
down the words related to the different fields.
C) Language Functions
The teacher should build micro activities to develop the use of language required
to handle these sub-functions of communication. In the process, the learners should
get used to the linguistic elements needed for these functions.
D) Seminar presentation on the themes allotted
Each student should collect materials from books, journals and newspapers for
his/her theme and prepare a short seminar paper. The presentation should be for 10
minutes using power point frames. It should be followed by an ‘open house’ during
