As said earlier, for crafting a case study, a good topic is necessary. Usually, your instructors will assign a topic for you, or they will provide a wide list of options for you to select.

Studying the case brivs students to life, forms analytical and communication skills through facing real life situations. Case technology as the situation analysis method originates prerequisites for the creativity of teachers. Composing of a case is carried out outside the classroom and includes research, methodological and constructive activities of the teacher. For the case study to be effective, it is necessary to observe two conditions: making a good case and determining the methods of its use in training. Therefore, our future work is focusing on the preparation a methodology for applying the case in the educational process. Dunna and Brooks believe that , “An interesting option—although it may not be practical in every teaching situation—is for students to create a case study based on their own experiences inside or outside school. They might create a study on a professional situation or a problem they are familiar with, such a business challenge or the risks to privacy that the inconsiderate use of social networks entails. The case study can then be used in class for analysis and discussion, with the goal being to discuss and decide on reasonable solutions and approaches for dealing with the situation or problem. Students should have an intermediate or advanced level of English and be familiar with the case-study method.[7,129] An English lesson based on case technology can be built according to the following concept: The first group of exercises are introductory exercises or starting up, the goal of which is to teach vocabulary, as well as the formation and development of speaking skills. The second group of exercises is designed to develop listening and writing skills, as well as to master new lexical units, The third group of reading exercises aims to develop reading skills. understanding the text in English, and mastering new lexical material on the lesson title. The fourth group of exercises allow to revise grammar. The fifth group of exercises is designed to research a problem or directly a ease study [91. The case study method provides a student with actual theoretical knowledge and practical experience and opportunities to consolidate the monologic and dialogical skills of reasoning thoughts. opinions, ideas, proposals. Carrying research, a student studies to take alternative points of view and to argue for his/her own decision of a break-through situation, to show and to improve analytical and assessment skills and teamwork. It should be noted that the use of the ease study method requires a lot of time for the successful implementation of work on solving cases. However, the experience gained in the process of applying this method by teachers has shown that the ease method greatly increases the effectiveness of the educational process since it allows to simulate the future activities or the learners and form a positive motivation for mastering a foreign language and obtaining new competences as social activity. communication skills, listening skills and the correct expression of thoughts.
