Teacher: Okay. We will give a prize to the winner at the end of lesson.
The winner will be the student who is the most active and responds to
the most questions.
Teacher: Now, let us move to the next activity. It is a ‘true and false’ activity,
and be prepared for that. You should prepare true and false statements
about Kyrgyzstan and then read your sentences; then other students
should decide which sentence is false and which sentence is true. Are
you ready?
Pupils: Yes. (The teacher tried to involve most students in this activity. The
students worked in small groups and prepared true and false statements.
Then, one student from each group read out their statements and other
students guessed which ones were true and false.)

Teacher: Bakyt, can you tell us whether this sentence is true or not

Bakyt: False.
(All students participated in this activity and even those students who did
not say much, still seemed to participate, as they listened attentively and
they often nodded when others were speaking.)
Teacher: We have now revised our ideas of Kyrgyzstan.
