Methodology
This course uses the Direct Methods, Communicative Language Teaching and Interactive
Learning. Direct Methods will be conducted in class focusing on classifiers,
Communicative Language Teaching focus mainly on grammar structure by identifying
the location of items in the room. Interactive Learning will be applied and practice by
participating in activities. Student will acquire this language by reiterating and practicing
with time and patience.

classroom.
3. Giving directions and locating furniture using non-manual signal cs mm and ah in
class
4. Students will partner up and practice using non-manual signals using proximity space in
class with any distinct objects.

7) Interactive Activity (20 minutes)

Classifiers
a) Present pictures of different types of room in the house using different classifiers
to location the furniture in the room.
b) To practice using classifiers to describe the floor layout and locate furniture in
different rooms.
