for producing oral communication in the target language such as
lab for developing listening and speaking skills and all other
equipments that facilitate the process of learning English as a
foreign language properly.

in oral interaction. They should try as possible as they could to
be creative in supplying the students with oral activities that can
involve them in interaction.

that every student finds the opportunity to interact orally in
English.
