1.2.4.2- In the practice stage

There are various techniques which can be used to practice the language, but we would like to mention some of them such as:

• 
  Multiple choice questions: students are given at least three options for one stem and choose the best answer. In this activity, they are supposed to recognize the correct grammatical form which corresponds to the given item.
  
• 
  Games: they can be used at any stage of a class since they provide useful effects on students both linguistically and psychologically.
  
• 
  Transformation: an example of usual hint in this activity is “Put the verb in brackets into the correct form”.
  
• 
  Matching
  

• 
  Personalization: students are supposed to make their own and real sentences about their lives by means of questions asked by the teacher. The use of this technique can be extremely controlled or extremely free.
  
• 
  Completion, … etc
  

Peer correction is sometimes necessary so that students will communicate with each other, but it is the teacher’s role to decide the final correction version.
