students. Each group will contain two students. A teacher will elaborate a situation with the help of a
sentence written on a small piece of paper. One student from the group will be called an she or he has to
understand the meaning of the sentence. After that the teacher will instruct the student to make out the
situation elaborated in the sentence to the other student in the group through acting or gesture. Another
approach will be Cultural and Personal Relevance approach, in which the students will be asked to their
own culture of personal details like hobbies (Fareed Ashraf and Bilal, 2016).

be assigned with the responsibilities to clean the benches after the lunch period. The third and fourth team
may be given the task of cleaning the entire classroom after the lunch break. All the teams should be
instructed to maintain individual diaries. In those diaries they will write about daily cleaning activities
