		<description><![CDATA[Striking the perfect balance between the extremes of ultra- discipline and a lassez-fiare &#8220;anything goes&#8221; approach is not easy. This  post begins by asking various questions and along the way provides some home-spun answers. None of the ideas here are intended to be prescriptive, rather they are intended to be a starting point, working towards [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This milling activity is very simple.  Each student has a different sequential series written on a strip of paper. Their task is to find the participant wıith the exactly the same sequence as them self. For this to be a speaking and listening task, monitor the learners carefully to ensure they don&#8217;t show their [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The circle game: You say and I listen
This type of activity lends itself to ımproving group cohesion through a cooperative or collaborative task  involving listening and speaking.
