    Detailed Application Process

    1. The first step involves dividing your students into groups A and B - these groups would use their flashcards for questioning each other while appreciating or coaching based on responses given. Latterly, roles are switched with partners shuffling after appreciation expressed via thanks noted between them before repeating this process during a predetermined set duration.A variant can be incorporated where group A moves right while group B remains static facilitating different partnerships with swapped positions between rounds for even distribution of partner combinations.. +(ol)
