students are interested to learn about the English language; some students can understand
when the teacher speaks but they cannot speak it. Other students have a little experience
with the English Language. They need to work very hard with the language. In other words
the majority of students have a little knowledge about the English language.
The expectation about the students is to know all about the English grammar and they want
to have a good pronunciation; also they want to make dialogues among them and practice
the English language. The classroom condition is not the best because there is not aids

acquisition of English. Moreover, the students seemed to be shy only one group of students

Instrument
Interviewing is a way to collect data as well as to gain knowledge from individuals. Kvale
(1996, p. 14) regarded interviews as “ … an interchange of views between two or more
people on a topic of mutual interest, sees the centrality of human interaction for knowledge
production, and emphasizes the social situations of research data.”
We chose the interview because it is a simple way in order to collect data. Moreover, there
are many reasons to use interviews for collecting data and using it as a research instrument.
Gray (2004, p. 214) has given the following reasons:
• There is a need to attain highly personalized data.
• There are opportunities required for probing.
• A good return rate is important.
• Respondents are not fluent in the native language of the country,or where they have
difficulties with written language.

Important Findings
Pictures: the pictures are important because the students can visualize the meaning
of the words. Moreover, this can help students to raise their motivation in the
classroom.
Games (puzzle, bingo etc.): the games plays an important role in the learning of
students, because through this the students can learn in a funny and participative
way.
Methodology
Thornbury (1999) explains that “A deductive approach (rule-driven) starts with the
presentation of a rule and is followed by examples in which the rule is applied” (par. 7).
Thornbury (1999) argue “An inductive approach (rule-discovery) starts with some
examples from which a rule is inferred” (par. 7).
We decided to use both approach, because using the inductive approach the students can
learn the grammar within the context, it is important because the students learn in a funny
way through games and dynamic activities. On the other hand in the deductive approach the
students learn the grammar rules through the explanation of the teacher and then using
examples.
