To overcome these difficulties, teacher 1 used 9 strategies including role-playing, presentations, describing pictures, telling pictures, discussions, word walls, brainstorming, interviews, and storytelling. Similarly, teacher 2 found same difficulties. Teacher 2 also used 9 strategies, with some strategies different from teacher 1.
