Group Working

Learning English can be an influential factor in educating students
Choosing the right method for learning English has always been a big issue for English learners. Teachers in the old system of teaching English had the main role in process of teaching and students did not participate in the process of teaching. Many teachers and researchers have been researching on this issue for 20 years. Most studies show that group working is a method for learning English to increase the pleasure through learning and researches show that it is more effective to teach. In group working the role of teachers has been changed from an old fashioned method to organizing students groups to encourage them for participate in learning. In this method you make small
