Sultan carried out classroom action research to help him identify why his learners had problems writing in English. One of the techniques he used was observing – both teachers and learners. His research led him to create activities to help learners relate sounds with spelling and also how to build phrases into sentences. He plans to carry out future action research projects and recommends this tool to teachers in colleges as well as schools.
