A. Syllabus of activities for group presentations 
A carefully planned syllabus should be prepared by the teacher and given to the 
students after the first monthly examination. Scheduled activities for each group 
should be clearly and specifically stated in the syllabus. In addition to the oral 
presentation of the vocabulary, dialogues, and sentence structures, the students also 
have to design the worksheets to accompany their oral presentations. Models of 
worksheets should also be given as examples.
B. Time allocation for group presentation 
The time allowed for each group presentations could be between ten to fifteen 
minutes, depending on the nature of the tasks. Three group presentations would be 
the maximum acceptable in each class period. Two group presentations for each 
class would be considered the most appropriate. The timer in each group should be 
responsible for the time control. Good timing will also be included as part of the 
evaluation. 
C. Teachers’ roles 
When the groups start to assume more teaching and learning responsibilities, the 
teachers are not left alone. Instead, the teachers begin to assume roles like feedback 
givers, encourager, and facilitator. Usually right after each group presents their task, 
the students would expect immediate feedback, comments, corrections, and most 
important of all, the scores of their presentation from their teachers. There should be 
at least five to ten minutes for teachers to discuss the group processing with the class.

Most students will benefit to a great extent from the group processing time.
Besides giving immediate feedback after the group presentation, the teacher 
should randomly examine students orally by calling on one student to present his or 
her group’s work to the teachers to the entire class. The Mountain Climbing Chart 
should be used as positive reinforcement to reward the student who could do the job 
well.
