The importance of activities in the classroom<br />The learning process has to be successful in order to make an engagement between the students and the language, actually is quite difficult to find how active students are in the learning process and how thoroughly they take responsibility for knowledge construction have been linked to learning, to favorable learning experiences, and to students’ attitudes (Bonwell & Eison,1991).<br />The truth is that as junior high school teachers we have to deal with students that are passing into a difficult stage, so we must attract them into our subject, especially foreign language, in this case: English. The majority of those students are always complaining about the lack of ideas into the classroom, they said that it is implemented the same routine without allow any creative idea.<br />Students engaged in active, deep learning are not passively taking in information from instructors but are reading, writing, discussing, and problem solving (Bonwell & Eison, 1991; Litecky, 1998; Prince, 2004). Active learning may be either self-directed or group-directed and is a process consistent with the social constructivist approach in higher learning (Chermak & Weiss, 1999; Prince, 2004).<br />Even it is important to establish that according to the official program we must follow a communicative approach, which refers to use activities that must emphasize develop skills into their context. Also teachers must have to apply the constructivism methodology and obviously, that allows to students to construct their own knowledge. The social constructivist approach maintains that knowledge is constructed as one interacts with one’s environments through processes of discourse, negotiation, and consensus building (Syh-Jong, 2007; Tobin & Tippins, 1993).<br />To make each student an active player in the learning process, an environment<br />must be created in which there are opportunities for students to join in doing tasks. In- and out-of-class exercises that include problems for solving or questions for answering are important for prompting students to use language cognitively and develop thinking skills.<br />
