Second, devolving language one on of the most things that helps improve the language is the team work by learning things from surrounding and listening to others. Moreover, it may be hard for students to understand or communicate with a second language so the best way is to exchanging information with others in groups, for example when students want to learn a new second language the teacher usually sit them together in group so they can express their feelings in their own way and to be more comfortable.
