implementation of Critical Debate. 5

But before closing the class, he didn’t forget to remind them to study harder in order they could master English speaking
competence better. Besides, he also gave a chance to ask the difficult things that they didn’t understand yet. Then, he told the students the following topic that they
were going to study well. Finally, he said “

more…, concerned with is…, in my case…, I think …,
those were very important in doing critical debate. They didnt shy and doubt anymore. They did freely
without any burden, they almost did it perfectly. Sometimes their friend gave applause too. They returned to their seat again.
Then the second group continued practicing in front of the class. When they practiced it, there was a member who was still a little doubt to express.
Perhaps, she-didnt make preparation well at home. She often responded the teacher’s questions not serious, a little bit lazy. Her friend often asked her to
repeat again by saying
pardon me.
But principally she could practice it well. The last group took turns, this practicing was better than the others group.
There were some useful expressions that they used like
what do you think of …?
What do you think about…? In my opinion…, from my point of view…
those expressions are very importance for students in doing critical debate. There were
no serious problems. They all could practice them well. Only a little problem happened to students just how to express some useful expression.
The last but not less, the students’ willingness to master English orally increased significant, they could applied it in their real daily life.
