Let students to participate actively.Nowadays it is hard to encourage students to participate in class actively. Students have lots of questions but most of them are shy to ask. This situation came from a tradition that does not encourage them to discuss openly in class. And it seems like that problem is more common with girls while boys are more active inside the class.
