Furthermore, to give more chance for the students to practice their English and deepen their understanding, the researcher asked them to create simple dialogues and answer some questions related to the dialogue given by the researcher. However, as suggested by the collaborator, the researcher was kept focusing on drilling the students pronunciation through listen and repeat activity.
