Question 1: Match the teaching methods and their respective descriptions by writing the letters: GT(Grammar - Translation method), D (Direct Method), AL (Audio-Lingual Method), TPR (Total – Physical Response), CLT (Communicative Language Teaching), SW (Silent Way);TBL (Task-Based Learning) in the spaces numbered 1 – 10. (2.0pts) DESCRIPTIONS METHODS 1. Students are given explanations of individual points of grammar, and then they are given sentences which exemplify these points. These sentences have to be translated from the target language back to the students’ first language. 2. Activities in this method typically involve students in real or realistic communication, where the successful achievement of the communicative task they are performing is at least as important as the accuracy of their language use. 3. Translation is abandoned. Only the target language should be used in the classroom. Sentences, objects, pictures are related to grammatical forms to establish their meaning. 4. The model of a sentence is directly presented to students. It relies heavily on drills to form students’ habits. It is often carried out in the context of the language lab. 5. It is based on the coordination of language and physical movement. Teachers give commands to students in the target language, and students respond with whole-body actions. 6. This method focuses on the use of authentic language and on asking students to do meaningful tasks using the target language. Students are presented with a task they have to perform or a problem they have to solve. 7. This method aims at students’ ability to communicate. It focuses on the content more 2 than on the form of language. 8. One of the most notable features of this method is the behavior of the teacher rather than conversations with the students. Teacher says as little as possible. 9. Students are given a task to perform. Only when the task has been completed, does the teacher give adjustments on the students’ performance. 10. That is a traditional teaching method based on explicit instruction in the grammatical analysis of the target language and translation of sentences from the first language to the target language and vice versa. Question 2: Decide whether the following statements are true or false. Mark your answer (X) in the appropriate column T for true, F for false. (2.5pts) Statements T F 1. 1. Discovery activities suit students of all levels because they enjoy working things out. 1. 2. In teaching reading, it is important to pre-teach all new vocabulary before students read the text. 3. Periods of individual reading or writing tasks also allow the teacher time for personal interaction with the learners. 4. Teachers should ask students to practice writing in reading, listening and speaking lessons. 5. In the Direct Method, grammar is taught deductively. 6. Getting students to read aloud is a useful way of making them understand what they are reading. 7. Teachers should apply the Grammar -Translation Method to teach students for the purpose of communication. 8. To develop students’ fluency, the teacher should tolerate students’ mistakes of form and see them as a natural outcome of the development of communication skills. 9. In teaching pronunciation, the students should be given as much exposure to people speaking the language correctly as possible. 10. Achievement tests are used to put students into groups or classes relevant to their language levels. Question 3: Distinguish three main types of techniques, namely controlled, semi-controlled or guided, and free techniques, from each other.
