When we talk about creating anAbstract
When we talk about creating an "English atmosphere" in the classroom, we mean that students should feel as if they are in England and speaking English. This helps students learn the language faster and understand it better.
One way to create such an atmosphere would be to use only English words and phrases during classes. Teachers can give instructions in English and select reading material that will be of interest to students. It is important to remember that creating an "English atmosphere" should not be stressful for students. They should feel comfortable and confident when communicating in a new language.
