answer.
Brainstorming: the teacher provides the topic and each learner explain his or her ideas, then after they
combine those ideas and relate to the topic.
Inquiry approach: where teacher ask questions to the learners in order to get more information about
the topic.
Role play: student present what they have studied through plays.
Outdoor lessons technique: this concerns with the outside lesson where the learners practice what they
already learnt.

CONCLUSION
As conclusion, the observation that took place at TTC KIRAMBO was so highly appreciated and necessary
because it helped me to be experienced in discovering the challenges and the strategies that I can use to
overcome them so that I can be familiar with my teaching and to complete my school attachment as
well as possible in constructive and systematic way.
