TOPIC III: THE METHODOLOGY
The approach: W.W.H (Who learn What and How)
Who

Ss are those who learn
Learning actively, creatively, whole-heartedly
Learning how to learn
What

Learning strategies through:
Many different texts / tasks / activities / for 5 skills and 3 language elements
Chants / songs / games / projects
How

- Methods:
Methods: What methods are used
Procedures: How many steps & how they are formed
