This answer involves the both questions. So, my learning history doesn`t have different characteristics. The features were the same in all classes that I had. Other point is, all classes use to follow the book, in some cases the theacher created activities that give importance to researches and extra exercises. The students used to be afraid to make mistakes. I hadn`t had free speak classes that`s why I couldn`t develop my English in a fuctional way. I`ve been studying the communicative approach and I`ve seen others methods that make the students enjoy the activities.
