ITU SFL INDEPENDENT LEARNING CENTER

What about coming together with your friends online and doing some activities whenever and

however you want? Invite your friends to an online meeting, discuss your needs and set some

simple goals. In this way, you also will be able to share your worries and success stories to

motivate each other. Here are some ideas to help you get started:

• Produce something together with group writing or speaking.

• Come together after reading (a chapter of) a graded book (levels 2-5), a reading passage from your reading pack, or any book. Discuss the story and characters, rewrite the end of it, or review the words you have learnt from that book.

• Choose a topic to research and prepare to teach it to your group. Listen to each other and give feedback.

• Determine the grammar topics that you need to develop and prepare questions to ask your friends and help each other.

• Practice the proficiency exam question types; compare and discuss your answers.

There are lots of other ways you can collaborate with other students to benefit everyone.

Check the ILC Online Study Links to find resources that you can use in many different ways.

Most importantly, enjoy the time you spend helping each other improve!

Come together to help each other!

It is observed that students often learn more by interacting with their peers than being taught by a teacher. In fact, some students do not want to participate in class due to the fear of answering the teacher incorrectly, which affects the learning process adversely.
