The students of the CLS also had already taken the listening, speaking, critical reading and writing, and structure class. The students of the CLS can be assumed
to have a good understanding of English since they have been exposed to English actively for four semesters. Moreover, they also took the structure class before
and during the CLS class. This condition should help the students to apply their English knowledge when they are in the condition where they need to actively
speak English. The students of the CLS, class B, who are prepared to be English teachers and
professional educators should not only see and use English language as the tool of communication, but also as a teaching tool or a role model for the students. When
they are prepared as the English teachers, their spoken English will be the role models for their students. In order to be good role models of English, they should
be able to produce good spoken English with also good fluency and accuracy.
