Themeaning of “inquiry-based” has many slightly different definitions [8], all of which share the keycharacteristic that students pose and answer questions through physical experience and directobservation rather than by listening to lecture or following a highly prescribed laboratoryprocedure. In this work, we define inquiry-based learning to be that which incorporates thedefining features shown in Table 1 [6].

Therefore, instructor’ understanding, patience, and supportin overcoming students’ deficiencies in oral and written English, was required and appreciatedby all. ii) Lack of courage to express one’s self: Despite the fact that students wanted to beactive learners, and to express their view in the open; many

(b) A questionnaire that had been developed earlier was used to evaluate the perceptionof the students to the use of the case study in the class.
