groups

agreeing with the speakers.Write an 800 - 1000 words report and submit. Take a viva on the report.
c. Students create their own video/Audio, after writing a script. Before they decide a format, the following
elements can be taken into consideration:
" Themeltopic of the audio / ideo. Would the child like to pick a current issue or something artistic like
theatre?
"What are the elements that need to be part of the script?

critical thinkers.

vocabulary during the viva. Check if students are using vocabulary appropriate to the context about which
they are speaking.

questions during the viva, listen to their grammatical structures. Are they competent enough to use multiple
