All the students preferred a one skill at a time and using songs and pictures approaches to be employed by the teacher. The Sourcebook must be prepared in the form of a content-based instructional material. It must include drills that would give ample approaches to develop among the learners good sense of collaborative learning, integrative global language proficiency and contextual communicative competence in meaningful situations. Moreover, the sourcebook must use both print and non-print teaching aids as supporting materials. 1. School Administrators.

To develop the thinking, communicative and social skills, the materials in the sourcebook must provide songs and pictures that could be used in pair or group discussions where proper decorum in expressing ideas is observed. b. To train students to guess meanings of new words by context clues, the sentences, songs and pictures must include hints that would discourage learners to be dictionary dependent. c. To develop in them important concepts and details of the materials, provide simple comprehension questions for students to answer. d.
