It is true that lack of motivation can be a disadvantage and that for some students various reasons inhibit their active participation in group activities. Certain test taking strategies can be taught with group activities related particularly to TOEIC test reading part V, where there is a focus on linguistic structures as opposed to meaning. This focus-on-forms methodology, based on a structural syllabus, is discussed by Long (1991) and in a TOEIC context by Williams (2005). A potential weakness is that students will focus on meaning rather then structure.
