The teacher helped the students who have difficulties in learning speaking, especially in finding appropriate vocabulary. After discussing about face book, each group had to give opinion by using expression of giving opinion when the teacher asked opinion. The teacher also asked the students individually to give opinion about face book so that the teacher knew the individual competency.
