Methodology:
By and large, communicate effectively in English language is the key to be
successful nowadays. The way to acquire the language is more effectively when
the approach is natural according to the sets of messages that you want to
transmit.
The Natural Approach by Teller and Krashen, is the most suitable for the specific
purpose of these students as they receive comprehensible input. People acquire
language best from messages that are just slightly beyond their current
competence. Grammar rules are learned unconsciously and this provides
confidence in the students.
