In the same way, the next main two strategies “Engaging them in group work with sense of co-operation” and “Providing students-wise tasks” were used for 22 percent of all strategies used for this purpose in class. Moreover, “Any other” comprised 4 percent which was observed for 13 times. 22 and 14 percent “Restructuring” and “Time gaining” respectively.
