Abstract

The greatest essential challenge for a teacher is that she or he should try to hold the interest of the learners. If the text fails to interest them, the teacher should discover new ideas and unite them into his or her collection. There are sufficient of support materials that can be used for English language teaching or learning purposes in the classroom. Students can be cheered to study and try-out with a large variety of text types such as newspaper middles, cartoons, riddles, jokes, puzzles, limericks, malapropisms, folktales, anecdotes and proverbs. Though these are not likely to be essential for specific exams, but in most cases such activities help in interesting students and developing their appreciation of text types. The language consciousness exercise will lead them to think about words, rhythm, and all the best way of carrying an idea unmistakably and in brief. They are therefore, formative as well as worthwhile. They offer a wide range of thought-provoking activities that will develop students’ creative and imaginative writing skills. They can be used as supplementary materials to complement another course and deliver greater emphasis on communicative skills.
