English teaching methods must change according to the times and the needs of society. I present a five-week discussion forum with the aid of a native speaker with the goal of encouraging participants to discuss a range of topical issues. This paper illustrates why and how the discussion was done by taking up the actual topic discussed This paper illustrates why and how the discussion was done by taking up the actual topic discussed apprenticeship are embodied in the discussion with each component of discussion contents, and materials discussed. The discussion forum was examined by a questionnaire providing three questions for each of the principles of cognitive apprenticeship: content, methods, sequencing, and sociology.In conclusion, to make discussion successful in cognitive apprenticeship environments, two things are particularly important to consider. The first is the discussion topic and the second is the role of the teacher. Without realistic topics, the principles of cognitive apprenticeship do not work effectively and discussion will not continue to flow. Speaking of the role of the teacher, the transition from the role of an instructor to a conductor is extremely important.
