I enjoyed the clip where the
question about student´s feelings, opinions about the lesson and method was asked.
Students agreed that it was relaxed environment to study, no pressure. Errors were
corrected in non-threatening manner. Students could express their feelings and
opinions freely and share their knowledge in the group. All the students were actively
involved. The main goals are speaking, active interaction, relaxing learning
environment.
