sequencing of activities is observed. The controversial topic is to present a
sequencing theme without any prevention in the learner’s linguistic knowledge and
his ability to get himself involved in the learning process. Therefore; teachers can
apply a variety of communicative language teaching methodologies that consist of
the best ways of teaching.
