2. Giving the student enough freedom to enter, to leave, to attend the class at any time they like.

3. Giving three quizzes throughout the course to encourage students to study steadily and be ready all the time when there is a class.

4. Focusing on translating English grammatical sentences into their equivalent Kurdish sentences (if there is any), and translating vocabulary from English into Kurdish (if any).
