A Grade IV student has good vocabulary and grammar, but has difficulty organising ideas to write coherent paragraphs. Which of the following would be the MOST appropriate action that his teacher can take to help him?

Option 1 : Thinking aloud about a topic and creating a mind map of ideas.

Language Learning is a result of deliberate and conscious effort for a better understanding of foundational skills of language learning. In this process, many students lose their confidence and faces difficulty due to various reasons.

• In the above-mentioned situation, thinking aloud about a topic and creating a mind map of ideas would be the MOST appropriate action that the teacher can take to help the student.
• Think aloud is a method used to gather data when a person or a group of people are asked to verbalize their thought process during performing a specific task, which is then recorded for further analysis.
• When individuals think aloud, they put into words a process that normally takes place nonverbally. This provides a description of the individuals' solution process. A verbal description so obtained is called a protocol. 
• Mind map is a visual thinking tool that helps structure information, helping learners to better analyze, comprehend, synthesize, recall, and generate new ideas. A mind map can be used either for note-taking or note-making.
• By using the mind mapping tool, learners can combine words, pictures, icons or symbols, sounds, colors and maybe other imagery structures those relevant and fit into organizing their ideas.

From the above points, we can conclude that thinking aloud about a topic and creating a mind map of ideas would be the MOST appropriate action that the teacher can take to help the student.
