After testing, teacher gave feedbacks / corrections, for each group / pair if any feedback for them. Teacher also wrote on the blackboard, and told students about the words that have similar pronunciations, such as “luggage” and “language”. At the end of class, teacher repeated (drill / repeat-after) the words that he wrote on blackboard.
