Objective: 

To enhance fluency, pronunciation, and confidence of students in speaking the English language through interactive role-play and peer feedback. The four levels of the Kirkpatrick Model will be used to measure progress.


Step-by-Step Live Class Experiment. 


Level 1 - Reaction (Engagement and Motivation) 

Activity: 

- Begin by an ice breaker discussion, such as: If you could visit any place in the world, what would you visit and why? 

- Next tell the lesson purpose, that is, to enhance speaking English by playing a role. 

Measurement Tool: 

- Have a fast Google Survey or an oral survey where the students rate their enjoyment and engagement on a scale of 1-5. 


Level 2 - Learning (Knowledge and skills acquired) 

Activity: 

- Learn conversational patterns like greetings, expressions and links like actually, in my opinion and that is interesting. 

- Present an example of a conversation between two friends who are about to make a plan. 

- Instruct students to mark new words and expressions. 

Assessment: 

- Have a brief exam or a vocabulary review. 

- Pair-Share to have the students use the new words in sentences. 


Level 3 - Behavior (Application of Learning) 

Activity: 

- Pairs or groups of students will do role plays- eg a customer and a shopkeeper, an interviewer and an interviewee, a teacher and a student, a traveller and a hotel staff. 

Peer Feedback: 

- The peers provide feedback on fluency, accuracy and pronunciation after every role play using a basic rubric. 


Level 4 - Results

Activity: 

- Observe spontaneous speaking of students in class activities or groups after a week. 

- Compare the level of confidence and participation levels prior to and following the experiment. 

Evaluation Tool: 

- Checklist by an instructor to record fluency, pronunciation and the desire to talk. 


Conclusion: 

The experiment allows teachers to observe how learners respond to activities, acquire the main aspects of language, use them in practice, and sustain the progress with the course of time, which makes the English classroom more attentive to various learners and more interesting.

    I took CBSE online tuition Germany classes from Ziyyara and had a wonderful experience. The tutors are supportive and ensure that every topic is explained clearly with real-life examples.

The Classroom Without Walls

  This was the opening day of a new school term, and my pupils were in class feeling eager and ready to learn. The atmosphere was electric, some children paced anxiously up and down; others mumbled in altered tones. But today was different. I did not start as usual with the syllabus, but I went to the window, tied open the curtains, and told them, "Welcome to the world. This is our classroom today." The students looked at each other with a puzzled look. What do you have to say?" said Arif, a boy of infinite curiosity. I mean that the learning does not only occur within the walls of this school. History is in the streets, science is in the trees, math is in the market, and literature is in the story of every person. Nowadays we go out to know the world itself.  And thus in the park they had a class for the first time. They discussed the distances between trees and the measurement of the angles in the playground , and they heard the tales that were told to them by the eld...

Use these approaches when talking or writing in ESL. 🔸 Main Principles & Explanations 1. Code-Switching When someone uses two or more languages or dialects in the same conversation or meeting, it is called code-switching. Example: A bilingual student says, "I need to study for my test... কিন্তু আমার ঘুম পাচ্ছে। (but I feel sleepy)." Why is it important: It represents how someone is able to adapt to a new language and fit into a new culture. This difficulty is common for multilingual people learning ESL.  2. Jargon The specialized words or phrases are only used by a particular group or profession. The server crashed in IT because of a Denial of Service (DDoS) at...
