MEDIA-Creates an Authentic Learning Experience

Using newspapers, brochures, job application forms and news broadcasts provides authentic opportunities for students to learn using real-world media. This method simulates real-life experiences in which students must read, evaluate and interpret information based on items that they need in their daily lives. When students use objects from the real world, they can see the connection between what they learn in school and how they can use the knowledge as a member of society. (Williams, 2013)

Role playing

Role playing is one of the effective teaching strategies that can be used with the minimum resources. So, role playing can be considered as an active learning component where the participants actively involve.

Role playing is where participants physically involve by showing actions of different situations. By giving constructive feedback teachers can improve the role-playing skills of students. Further, as students are actively involved in this activity the students’ group participation, relation and self-confidence are also enhanced.
