Review The aim of this section is to have students perform communicative activities in teams or pairs so they can practice the skills they learned during the unit. It is a great opportunity to give individualized support to struggling students. Another useful strategy is to promote tutoring between pairs, so advanced students may help their classmates. In any case, monitor them closely while they work on these activities so they feel confident enough to attain the achievements by themselves.
