The Happy strategies are joyful learning activities that can support students in learning how to speak effectively. It is because learning experiences on how to speak and to communicate were framed fun and relax. The characteristic of the happy strategies included ice breaking, storytelling, role playing, self assessment, peer assessment, and selected report. The strategy also made students felt directly aware of their performance from the result of peer assessment.
