When choosing and adapting any
activity or task from a text box, it is important that the teacher
provides appropriate support for pair and group work so that the
communication, and therefore the task, is successful. Here is an
example of what and how support is provided to help studenhs do
textbook activities successfully. The tasts are taken from Tieng
Anh 10 (NXB GIAO DUC).
