Only ten students were invited to take the training because they were identified as the
most responsible students in the classroom so they would not miss any session. From our ten
students, five had a good level of communication in English and did not show any fear when
they have to explain something, on the other hand the other five students hardly ever talked in
front of the class they just would say a few words, and sometimes they were not even able to
communicate a complete idea, so they were the best candidates for this study, basically they
had to be able to learn the use of the strategies and use them later on in the post-task freely.
The workshop took place at the student’s classroom but outside the schedule of the
class.
