matters is organized. A group discussion is usually organized at the
final stage of the unit/theme.
“Labyrinth” technology is one of the variants of the problem-
solving methods. The aim of this technology is to teach the learners
to overcome
different life problems, to analyse the situation, find
solution of the problem and to improve the skills of quick thinking
and cultural communication.
Procedure of this technology. A teacher
asks the students to
seat around the table. Before beginning a teacher may put a basket
of flowers in the middle of the table that helps to create favorable
atmosphere and motivation.
The teacher begins the lesson telling an interesting story or
giving some interesting facts from the real life of the students. As an
example the teacher presents some real life situations and problems
and challenges and asks the learners to tell the ways how to solve or
overcome them. If it is difficult for the learners the teacher suggests
three ways of solution of the problem and asks the learners to select
the best solution among them and
explain why they think this
solution is the best.
After that the teacher forms small groups (3 -4 students). The
members of each small group, on
the basis of their language
experience, should remember some problematic situation from their
life and choose the most interesting of them and then voice its
solution. The solution of the problem may be in the form of a test or
as one clear answer.
The teacher fixes the time and
the members of each small
group will tell the problem or situation to the members of other
groups. When the time is over they in turn will tell the solution of
the problem. For example, the students can memorize the problem
of the first group and the members of the other groups suggest the
solutions of this problem. After having listened to all answers the
teacher voices his/her opinion. Then the students go on to the next
group’s solution and discuss it together.
