============================================================================================]]======================================================================================================== Group A: Khalid's Comments: (4 marks) **//Group B has fairly presented their Article in the class. I personally appreciate Mr. Sahil for his brilliant examples which would definitely encourage, let me put it this way, the examples would act as an Consciousness-Raising for the weaker ones. This will excite them to learn any new language fairly faster and would make them implement as well. I must highlight some of his presentation basically the examples where he talked about grameenphone and a PABX operator to explain fixed and semi fixed phrases. Definitely the five waves would make us all surf well in the ocean of Languages.//**

Thanks for the remarks! I also encouraged participants to ask questions. With regards to the five waves, it can be said that the core of any language learning bases upon 'building basics' and of course 'C-R'. The latter being a new tool towards creating an enabling environment for the student to come forward and have a participatory function in the class/course.
