"In this paper we will be also be explaining the methodology that will be used in the study. The methodology will encompass the reasons behind choosing a specific tactics, structures and facts that were used as well as explain how they were used. In explaining how a specific method was used, we will emphasize the changing impacts it had when applied in different scenarios such as the classrooms, under and outside my moderation or guidance and in a group scenario.
