[aprilliana.t]

Hello teachers...
I've a little problem to make a research question. My title is Improving student-student interaction in learning English in Classroom through Jigsaw. Which is better to use as my research question:
1. How does Jigsaw improve student-student interaction in learning English? or;
2. How can Jigsaw improve student-student interaction in learning English?

Thanks for advice.

Not a teacher.

At your level based on what you are doing here in English, I assume you must have known well the meaning of "can", "do"...
To me, though it might sound the same in your language, the 2 sentences above are abit different. With "does", you wish to show your way of doing something..With"can", you mostly want to tell others how hard something is and it also helps showing your ability.
Again, it will be different when asking: "Do you speak English?" and " Can you speak English?"
I bet you got it now !
