Situasi Berbasis Masalah

1. Imagine you’re setting up a new classroom in an international school and need to guide helpers, who don’t speak Portuguese, on where to place essential items. How would you describe desks, chairs, and boards in English?

2. We’re preparing for a school exchange and need to create a guide to welcome our foreign classmates. How can we ensure they understand basic instructions within a classroom, like 'sit down' or 'write on the board'? What words would we use in English?

Learning the vocabulary for classroom elements in English is crucial beyond just our classrooms. When students travel to English-speaking countries, they may need to comprehend and follow instructions in schools or other educational environments.
