Why activity is important in teaching?
It is equally important that each activity is meaningful, and ensures learners’ learning progress and advancement through the didactic unit or input sessions.
Activities should build on previous activities and avoid being repetitive, they should enable learners to engage with and develop their skills, knowledge and understandings in different ways.
Activities help learners to make and sustain the effort of learning. They provide practice in the basic language skills – listening, speaking, reading and writing. They encourage learners to interact and communicate.

Learning Activities
Introduction
Phase 1. Provide objectives and establish set
o Teacher leads students to recall the lesson that had been learnt in
the previous meeting that is about presenting data in table and
diagram.

problem that related with the material.
o Teacher communicates the learning objective.
o Teacher prepares the material and sets students ready to learn.
Main Activities
Phase 2. Demonstrate knowledge or skill
o Teacher give an example how to read diagram of the data.
Phase 3. Provide guided practice
o Teacher gives some problems dealing with data in the form of
diagram.
o Teacher give an example how to read diagram of the data.
o Teacher gives times to students to solve the problems. After
that, teacher asks several students randomly to solve the
problem in front of the class.
o Teacher guides students who perform to solve the problems
correctly.
Phase 4. Check understanding and provide feedback
o Teacher asks the other students to check whether the answers
performed in the front are right or not to check student
understanding. Teacher then responds to their answers. Teacher
can emphasize praise on correct performance.
3. Phase 5. Provide extended practice and transfer
