has to be presented in front of the class, while the other students of the class are to respond by giving questions, comments, opinions, or suggestion. The group which presents has to answer the questions or responds the comments. Through this activity the teacher can make the evaluation on the grammar/structure, pronounciation, accuracy, fluency, and also the vocabulary, while the cooperative learning strategy can make the students happy, cooperate and share with other members of their group, and the most important thing that students are motivated to speak much and feel confident. They are motivated to produce more talks
