In summary, unit 4 shows the important usage of vocabulary, grammar and functions. It is good to keep in mind that when teaching vocabulary, the teacher should choose the items according to the similarity that the students can easily understand and use and also is already known. Also spelling as well as pronunciation and appropriateness of the word chosen are main factors a teacher should keep in mind when choosing and demonstrating vocabulary to a class. Moreover, it is also important when a teacher tries to make students study a certain type of grammar structure he or she should be aware of the meaning, usage, forms and patterns as well as speaking and writing to be discussed before activating or using it in a practical scenario.
