7. Testing Comprehension
In this step the teacher asks some question from the present passage to the students to text 
to what extent the students have comprehended the meaning of the passage. 
These questions should be based on the very passage taught by the teacher and they 
should be direct, short and objective based. 
The same procedure (step 4, 5, 6, 7) can be followed for the rest of the lesson. 
8. Testing Application 
The main aims of application test is to evaluate to what extent the objectives of a 
lesson have been achieved. the question may be of oral or written type .
After the teaching of structure or vocabulary teaching to do the exercises at the 
end of the lesson. 
 
9. Loud Reading by the students
Now is the time when the teacher can ask the students to read out the passage loudly 
one by one?

This loud reading is very much helpful to the students for clear pronunciation. It also 
improves the to he, rhythm and fluency. But a student should read long passage. Each 
student should read a few lines from the passage. 
In the regard the following points can be given special consideration. 
i. 
The errors of pronunciation must be corrected at the end of the reading. 
ii. 
Students should be asked to keep the books 25/30 cm. away from the eyes. 
iii. 
They should hold the book in the left hand while the right hand should be kept 
free. 
The teacher will therefore need to exercise great care whenever 
the students are asked to read aloud. As the students have already learnt all the 
new words, structures and as they have also understood the text, the chances for 
success in reading aloud are greater than they are at the beginning. 
10. Giving Assignment
After the classroom tarks are completed the teacher can give some assignment 
which could be of the following types: 
i. 
To remember the meaning and spelling of new words. 
ii. 
To use the words in sentences 
iii. 
To write the gist of the passage. 
iv. 
To answer questions on the passage. 
v. 
To do the exercises based on the structures taught.
