Introduction
Specialisation area of teaching can be classified into- vocational area and subjective area. The
teachers and the trainers make it easier for the student to understand a lecture or some
technical abilities with the aid of skills they have acquired in their learning or teaching
profession. A case study presented by Armstrong et al., 2017 explains that the student can
gain knowledge and learn technical skill appropriately in diploma education when the trainer
provides all the facilities. The purpose of my area of specialisation is to encourage the proper
learning for student and to make the learner understand the purpose of my study. Davis et al.,
(2017) stated that cooperation in another area of specialisation will enhance the performance
in the teaching profession. effective outcome of the performance of class is seen when the
