Introduction -:

Review is to establish intellectual connect to establish pereneal state of

knowledge on the subject

Since action research is the under take to solve the current problem. It

may be necessary to review the available research material every time. But

it is quite natural that every research want to exhibit that research is

different from any earlier research made on the same subject

To plant the research method the researcher has to make use of available

materials & took he can use this material for completing the material for

his own research

This is states that review of the research material is required since only

in the early classes because when once the habit of wrong

pronounciation is formed later on there will be difficulty in forming new

woeds.
