By point 1,2,3,4 we mean students' only means of communication in the campus MUST be English.We know it is difficult but they have to make it.As teachers we should give them motivation.We must inform them It does not matter even if they make silly mistakes, they should not worry about that. Rather they should carry on their conversation anyway.They should be motivated saying eg-"Don't worry if people laugh at u when u make mistake.U can certainly learn through mistake."

Point 5  refers to students' getting enough Input. According to Great linguist Krashen--Output in case of language learning is possible only when enough Input is ensured. Sufficient Input helps learners immensely in having Output.

On the whole, we must ensure and encourage Students' exposure to English.
