approach while teaching of English as a second language. 2
Answer: Skill-based instruction always ensures at a good
amount of instructional time which dedicated to teaching students how to read,
think, write, and speak in all subject areas. So Communicative language
teaching is perhaps the most popular approach among the methods of
teaching ESL today. CLT emphasizes the students' ability to communicate in
real-life contexts, and students learn to make requests, accept offers, explain
things, and express their feelings and preferences.
4. Find out two differences
between period plan and Unit Plan.
Answer: A period plan is usually prepared by the
teacher who conducts a lesson for students to make sure a lesson meets its
objectives and learning takes place effectively. A unit plan consists of many
lessons. A period plan is only for forty to fifty minutes but unit plan can
takes a longer time period.
5. Describe any one of the
following: 2
(a) Checklist
(b) Anecdotal records
(c) Schedule
Answer:
a)
Checklist: Checklists are used at school by teacher for
identifying whether key tasks in a procedure, process, or activity have been
completed. Checklists keep students on task. Rather than losing focus
and forgetting where they left off or abandoning the task altogether, they
always know where they are in a task or project.
b)
Anecdotal records: Anecdotal
records are a useful way for teachers to track events and observations
throughout the school day. Discover how anecdotal notes can be utilized for
informed instruction, student learning way, reflective teaching practices, and
parent-teacher conferences.
c)
Schedule:
In a school, a class Schedule is
a list that shows the times in the week at which particular subjects are taught. You can also refer to
the range of subjects that a student learns or the classes that a teacher teaches as their class schedule.
6. Multilingualism is a resource in an Indian
classroom. Justify. 3
Answer: It is possible
to use the multilingual diversity as a resource in our classroom by maintaining
multilingualism at the center of language teaching activities. But how exactly
do we do that? If you, for instance, have to teach them a poem in English, what
could you possibly do?
Here is an example:
Get them first to recite the
English poem. Then, focus on the theme that it deals with. Next, let them
identify subtle elements and features of the poem that they may identify. Now,
split your class into groups to translate the poem into any other language of
their choice. Finally, get each group to present their translated versions of
the poem. What you will find is that once this activity is done, many rich
discussions will naturally emerge around the poem.

8. Communicative language approach
facilitates the learners to use English language fluently in real life
situation. Justify. 3
Answer: The communicative approach is an approach which is
worldwide known and established approach. It has established itself in many
parts of the world as a way of teaching languages, especially English. The
communicative approach is based on the idea that in order to learn a second
language successfully, you have to communicate real meaning. Thus, when
learners are involved in real communication, their natural strategies for
language acquisition will be active and used, and this will allow them to learn
to use the language in real life situation. According to Harmer J. (2001,
pg.69) one of the thing that communicative language embraces within its family
is the concept of how language is used.
9. Explain how you will teach
grammar to the students of elementary level. 3
Answer: Grammar can
bring groans and dismissive shrugs from students and teachers. There are so
many strategies to teach grammar in elementary level. Even though grammar may
not be a favorite subject to teach, there’s one argument that cannot be
refuted: grammar is a pivotal skill
to learn when it comes to writing, reading, and speaking well.
Grammar activities don’t need to be boring in order to be rigorous.
For example Educational
videos can be a great way to grab younger students’ attention and
help them see how different parts of speech and rules of punctuation work
together to create meaningful sentences.
10. Written works are effective
indicators of summative assessment. Discuss with examples. 4
Answer: A summative
assessment takes place at the end of a unit or course of study. It assesses
students’ level of knowledge, skill acquisition, and/or content understanding.
There are many purposes to summative assessments in instruction, but the main
goal of any assessment is to provide clear communication between student and
teacher.
Here have an example of written
summative assessment-
Formal essays allow students to
demonstrate their level of knowledge about a subject matter. Essay writing is a
useful skill that communicates one's idea and understanding of a concept. Ask
your students to write essays on the core topics and themes discussed in
class.
Students can explain a concept,
argue for or against a subject matter or simply narrate their learning
experience as descriptive prose.
11. Design a remediation activity to deal with spelling errors of learners. 4
Answer:
Here is an activity to correct
spelling errors of learners-
Activity name: Spelling
volleyball
Sometimes
students just want to get up and move, so the ambitious teacher might try to
combine spelling with sport. With a small package of balloons, we can play an
instant spelling game.
Game
rules:
Put students into groups of three with two
students facing each other and a referee standing to the side. The referee says
a word (from a list) and the players spell it letter by letter as they volley
the balloon back and forth. The referee listens for poor spellings and awards
points.
