preliminary interview and document analysis from the class teacher - some
learners are lack of motivation and lack of focus and concentration
affecting their performance in testing and assessment - do not show
improvement
2.2 What have I learnt about my research issue?
Cambridge dictionary online, multi: having many, sensory: connected with the
physical touch, smell, taste, hearing and sight. thus, multi-sensory; engage all
three modalities simultaneously, providing multiple pathways to the brain
using this type of approach will motivate the learners in language learning
because it is fun and interesting
however, I expect that the classroom management will be a bit difficult to control.

will the objective of the learning improve with the use of the approaches?
