1. Comment on the following: A brief history of language teaching.


Language teaching has evolved significantly over time.
In ancient periods, language learning was largely
informal, relying on imitation. During the Renaissance,
Latin dominated education, and the Grammar-
Translation Method emerged, emphasizing text
translation and grammar rules. The 19th century
introduced the Direct Method, focusing on speaking and
listening. The 20th century saw a proliferation of
methods, including Audiolingualism and Communicative
Language Teaching (CLT), driven by advances in
linguistics and psychology. The modern era prioritizes
learner-centered approaches, integrating technology and
emphasizing communication.

2. Describe the following: The Grammar-Translation Method


The Grammar-Translation Method is a traditional way
of teaching languages that focuses mainly on grammar
rules and vocabulary. It was popular in the 19th century
and is still used in some language classrooms today.

3. Identify the principal characteristics of the Grammar-Translation Method.


Overall, the Grammar-Translation Method prioritizes
analytical learning of grammar and vocabulary, with a
focus on reading and writing over communication.

4. Outline the following: Language teaching innovations in the nineteenth


century.
the 19th century saw the development of structured
methods like the Grammar-Translation Method, a shift
toward more communicative teaching in the Direct
Method, and innovations like the phonetic alphabet that
helped improve language instruction. These changes laid
the foundation for modern language teaching methods.
5. Define the following: The Reform Movement.
the Reform Movement sought to make language teaching more
dynamic and communicative, shifting from an academic and
rigid focus on grammar and translation to a more immersive
and interactive approach.

6. Discuss the following: The Direct Method.


the Direct Method is a communicative and immersion-based
approach to language learning, emphasizing speaking and
understanding the language in real-life contexts, and
minimizing the use of translation and explicit grammar
explanations.

7. Summarize the following: The methods era..


The Methods Era was characterized by the search for the most
effective way to teach languages, leading to the development
of various approaches, each with its strengths and weaknesses.
The focus gradually shifted from formal grammar instruction to
more communicative and student-centered methods.

8. Explain the following: Teacher preparation programs.


teacher preparation programs aim to develop well-rounded,
knowledgeable, and effective teachers who are ready to meet
the challenges of the classroom and provide quality education
to all students.

9. Discuss the following: Three Levels of Conceptualization and Organization in


Language Teaching by the American applied linguist Edward Anthony, 1963.
Edward Anthony, a well-known applied linguist, proposed three levels of conceptualization and
organization in language teaching. These levels are key to understanding how a language
teaching method is structured and implemented:

•Approach: Theoretical principles about language and


learning.
•Method: The overall plan for language teaching, based on
the approach.

•Technique: Specific activities used in the classroom to


implement the method.

10. Comment on the following: Theory of language (structural, functional, and


interactional models of language).

1. Structural Model of Language: This model focuses on the rules and patterns that make
up language, such as grammar, syntax, and phonology. It views language as a system of
structures (e.g., nouns, verbs, sentences) and emphasizes accuracy and correctness in
using these structures.
o Example: In a structural approach, learners focus on learning specific
grammatical rules like verb tenses or word order.
2. Functional Model of Language: This model focuses on how language is used to
perform different functions or to achieve communicative purposes. It looks at language as
a tool for interaction and emphasizes context-based usage, like making requests, giving
advice, or making promises.
o Example: In functional language teaching, learners practice language in realistic
contexts, like ordering food in a restaurant or asking for directions.
3. Interactional Model of Language: This model views language as a tool for social
interaction. It emphasizes the importance of communication between people and focuses
on conversational skills, negotiation of meaning, and the social aspects of language use.
o Example: In this approach, learners would engage in dialogues or discussions,
focusing on listening, responding, and negotiating meaning in real-time
conversations.

11. Describe the following: Types of learning theories.

There are several types of learning theories that inform teaching practices:

1. Behaviorism: This theory focuses on observable behaviors and how they're shaped by
external stimuli. Learning happens through repetition and reinforcement.
o Example: Using flashcards to drill vocabulary words and reward correct
responses.
2. Cognitivism: This theory emphasizes mental processes such as memory, perception, and
problem-solving. It views learning as an internal process where the learner actively
constructs knowledge.
o Example: Problem-solving tasks or group activities where students actively
engage with the material and make connections.
3. Constructivism: This theory argues that learners build their own understanding through
experiences and interactions. Knowledge is seen as a personal, active construction rather
than a passive acquisition.
o Example: Projects and hands-on activities where learners explore and discover
concepts by themselves.
12. Outline the following: Design: objectives of a method.
Design involves setting clear objectives, such as improving
speaking, listening, reading, or writing. It includes selecting
appropriate content, materials, and activities aligned with
learners’ goals.

13. Explain the following: Content choice and organization: The syllabus.
The syllabus in language teaching refers to the organized content that will be taught throughout
a course. It is based on the objectives of the method and outlines what topics will be covered and
in what order. The syllabus helps ensure that language learning is structured and progressive.

14. Identify the following: Types of Learning and Teaching Activities.

1. Individual Activities: Tasks performed by one student, like reading comprehension,


writing assignments, or completing worksheets.
o Example: Writing an essay on a specific topic.
2. Pair Activities: Tasks where students work in pairs, such as role-plays or conversations.
o Example: Two students practicing ordering food in a restaurant.
3. Group Activities: Tasks involving small groups of students, such as discussions,
debates, or collaborative projects.
o Example: A group project where students create a presentation on a cultural topic.
4. Whole-Class Activities: Tasks done as a whole group, like discussions, games, or
teacher-led presentations.
o Example: A class debate on a topic, with students taking turns speaking.
5. Interactive Activities: Activities that encourage students to interact and negotiate
meaning, such as information gap tasks or role-plays.
o Example: A role-play where one student is a tourist asking for directions and the
other is a local giving them.

Each type of activity encourages different aspects of language learning, from individual practice
to interactive communication.

15. Define the following: Learner Roles.


Learners can be passive receivers (traditional methods) or
active participants (modern approaches). Roles vary, including
problem-solvers, collaborators, and independent learners,
depending on the method and teacher’s approach.

16. Summarize the following: Teacher roles.


Teachers play various roles in the classroom, including:

 Facilitator: Guides and supports students in their learning journey.


 Controller: Manages classroom activities and maintains discipline.
 Organizer: Structures lessons and prepares resources.
 Assessor: Evaluates student performance and provides feedback.
 Prompter: Encourages participation and critical thinking.
 Resource: Acts as a source of knowledge and reference when needed.

17. Comment on the following: The role of instructional materials.


Instructional materials support teaching by providing content
and context. They include textbooks, audio-visual aids, and
online resources, serving as tools for practice, reinforcement,
and engagement.

18. Describe the following: Procedure. Three dimensions to a method at the level
of procedure.
The procedure in a teaching method refers to the actual practices, techniques, and activities used
in the classroom.

The three dimensions of procedure are:

1. Presentation: Introducing new material to students. This may involve explaining


grammar rules, demonstrating language use, or providing input through reading or
listening activities.
2. Practice: Students engage in controlled activities to practice the new material, such as
drills, repetition, or guided dialogues.
3. Production: Learners use the language in less controlled, more creative contexts, like
role-plays, discussions, or writing tasks.

19. Identify the following: The Oral Approach and Situational Language Teaching.
This method focuses on teaching language structures through
oral practice. Lessons are based on situational contexts, and
vocabulary and grammar are introduced systematically.

20. Outline the following: Vocabulary and grammar control.

This involves selecting and sequencing vocabulary and


grammar to match learners’ proficiency levels, ensuring
gradual progression and mastery before introducing new
concepts.

21. Define the following: The Audio-Lingual Method.


Based on behaviorist principles, this method emphasizes habit
formation through drills and repetition. Listening and speaking
are prioritized, with little focus on grammar explanation or
translation.

22. Discuss the following: Total physical response.


TPR is a method where learners respond physically to verbal
instructions. It helps in learning through action, reducing stress
and improving memory, especially in early language
acquisition.

23. Summarize the following: The silent way


This method encourages learners to take responsibility for their
learning. The teacher speaks minimally, using visual aids and
prompts to guide students in discovering language structures
independently

24. Explain the following: Community language learning.


CLL emphasizes collaboration and emotional support. Teachers
act as counselors, and learners engage in discussions, often
recording and analyzing their conversations to improve
language use.

25. Comment on the following: Suggestopedia.


Suggestopedia uses relaxation, music, and positive
reinforcement to create a stress-free environment. It focuses on
boosting learners’ confidence and memory while minimizing
traditional barriers to learning.

26. Describe the following: Aims of teaching.


Teaching aims to develop learners’ knowledge, skills, and
attitudes. In language teaching, this includes communication
skills, cultural understanding, and the ability to use language in
real-life contexts.

27. Identify the following: Content and Principles of Foreign Language Teaching.
Content includes vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and
cultural aspects. Principles involve fostering motivation,
meaningful communication, and balancing fluency with
accuracy.

28. Outline the following: Teaching aids and teaching materials.

 Teaching Aids: Tools used to enhance understanding and engagement, such as visual
aids (charts, pictures), audio-visual aids (videos, projectors), and tactile aids (flashcards,
models).
 Teaching Materials: Resources that directly support the lesson, including textbooks,
workbooks, handouts, and online resources.
Both are crucial for making lessons dynamic, interactive, and effective.

29. Define the following: Classroom management.


Classroom management involves organizing and maintaining a
productive learning environment. It includes setting rules,
managing behavior, and ensuring that activities run smoothly
and efficiently.

30. Summarize the following: Arranging the classroom seats.


Classroom seating arrangements affect interaction and
engagement. Common setups include rows (traditional),
circles (discussion-based), and clusters (group work),
chosen based on the teaching objectives.

31. Demonstrate your knowledge and speak on the following: The role of teacher
in the classroom.

the teacher’s role in the classroom is dynamic and involves


being a knowledge provider, facilitator, manager, motivator,
and mentor. Effective teachers create an environment where
students feel supported and empowered to achieve their full
potential.

32. Apply your knowledge and speak on the following: Talking to students and
giving instructions.

talking to students and giving instructions requires clarity,


patience, and engagement. By breaking down instructions into
manageable steps, checking for understanding, and using
supportive language, teachers can ensure that students are
confident and prepared to complete tasks effectively.

33. Use your knowledge and speak on the following: Student talk and teacher talk.

The balance of teacher talk and student talk is crucial in


promoting a productive learning environment. While teacher
talk is necessary for instruction, guidance, and classroom
management, student talk fosters engagement, collaboration,
and language development. Encouraging active student talk
and providing opportunities for meaningful interaction can
significantly enhance learning outcomes and help students
become more confident communicators.

34. Show your knowledge and speak on the following: Using L1.

Using L1 in language teaching is a useful tool when used


appropriately. It can help with understanding, reduce anxiety,
and manage the classroom. However, it should be used
strategically to ensure that students are exposed to enough L2
and are not overly dependent on their first language. The goal
is to balance the two languages, with L1 serving as a support
when necessary, while promoting the active use and
development of L2.

35. Demonstrate your knowledge and speak on the following: Creating lesson
stages.

Creating lesson stages is about organizing the lesson in a way


that builds on students’ knowledge and helps them gradually
acquire new skills or information. A well-structured lesson
keeps students engaged, provides opportunities for practice,
and ensures that learning is scaffolded from introduction to
conclusion. Each stage—warm-up, presentation, practice,
production, review, homework, and cool-down—has a distinct
purpose that contributes to a cohesive learning experience. By
carefully planning and sequencing these stages, teachers can
maximize student engagement, retention, and success.

36. Apply you knowledge and speak on the following: Planning lessons. Reasons
for planning.
Lesson planning is a vital process that allows teachers to create
organized, structured, and effective learning experiences for
their students. It helps meet learning objectives, manage time,
engage students, assess progress, and reflect on teaching
practices. The reasons for planning lessons are numerous, and
effective planning ensures that teaching is purposeful, efficient,
and responsive to student needs. A good lesson plan not only
benefits students by providing clear and engaging activities but
also supports teachers in delivering high-quality lessons that
promote learning and achievement.

37. Use your knowledge and speak on the following: Creating the lesson aims.

Creating clear and focused lesson aims is essential for effective


teaching and learning. Lesson aims guide the teaching process,
help measure student progress, and ensure that the lesson has
a clear focus. They should be specific, measurable, achievable,
and relevant to the students’ needs. By carefully crafting lesson
aims, teachers can design engaging and purposeful lessons
that lead to successful learning outcomes.

38. Show your knowledge and speak on the following: Lesson plan formats.

There are various lesson plan formats that teachers can use
depending on the teaching context, subject, and preferences.
The basic lesson plan is simple and straightforward, suitable for
beginners or informal settings, while more detailed formats
allow for deeper reflection on teaching strategies, assessment,
and differentiation. The PPP model is effective for teaching new
language points, and Task-Based Learning focuses on real-
world language use through meaningful tasks. Regardless of
the format, the most important aspect is to ensure that the
lesson is structured, the objectives are clear, and students are
actively engaged in the learning process.
39. Demonstrate your knowledge and speak on the following: Planning a sequence
of lessons.

When planning lessons, teachers need to think about how each lesson builds on the last one. This
is called a lesson sequence. Here's how you might plan it:

1. Start with a goal: What do you want students to learn by the end of the lesson? It could
be something like learning new vocabulary or practicing a grammar rule.
2. Break it down: Decide what activities will help students reach that goal. For example, if
you want students to learn a new word, you might start with a listening activity, then
move on to practice using the word in sentences.
3. Gradually increase difficulty: Start with easier tasks and slowly make them harder. This
helps students feel successful and gradually challenge them.
4. Include review: At the beginning of each lesson, it's good to review what was learned in
the previous lesson to help students remember and make connections.

Think about teaching like a story. If you want to teach someone something, you need to plan the
beginning, middle, and end.

 First: You think about what you want the kids to learn (like learning new words).
 Next: You plan fun activities to help them learn. Maybe you’ll play a game or do a
drawing.
 Finally: You check if they understood everything and review what you learned together

40. Apply your knowledge and speak on the following: Reasons for reading
and different reading types.
Reasons for Reading: Gain information, enjoy stories, or

read.
o Example: A picture book with easy words.
2. Intermediate Level: Slightly harder words and more complex sentences. For learners
who know the basics but still need practice.
o Example: A short story or a magazine article.
3. Advanced Level: Difficult vocabulary and complex sentence structures. This is for
students who have a strong command of the language.
o Example: A novel or academic article.

42. Show your knowledge and speak on the following: Strategies for developing
reading skills.

There are different ways to help students get better at reading:

1. Pre-reading: Before reading, teachers can ask students to predict what the text will be
about, based on the title or pictures. This gets students thinking about the topic.
2. Reading Aloud: Having students read out loud helps with pronunciation and
understanding.
3. Understanding Vocabulary: Teach students how to guess the meaning of new words
from context (the words around them).
4. Summarizing: After reading, ask students to summarize what they read. This helps them
remember and understand the main points.
5. Questioning: Ask students questions about the text to check their understanding.

43. Demonstrate your knowledge and speak on the following: Reading principles.

Reading principles are guidelines to help students become better readers:

1. Active Engagement: Encourage students to think about what they’re reading, make
predictions, and ask questions.
2. Comprehension: Focus on understanding the meaning, not just reading the words.
3. Contextual Understanding: Teach students to use the context (the surrounding words or
images) to help understand new words or phrases.
4. Reading for Purpose: Help students recognize why they’re reading something, whether
it's for fun, information, or to study.

44. Apply your knowledge and speak on the following: Reading sequences.

A reading sequence is the order in which activities are done to help students improve reading:
1. Pre-reading: Introduce the topic, ask predictions, and discuss any new vocabulary.
2. While-reading: Students read the text. This could involve tasks like answering questions,
finding specific information, or summarizing parts of the text.
3. Post-reading: After reading, students can discuss the text, summarize it, or write a
reflection on it. This helps them solidify what they've learned.

45. Use your knowledge and speak on the following: Encouraging students to read
extensively.

Reading extensively means reading a lot of material, especially for fun. Here’s how to encourage
students:

1. Provide Interesting Books: Give students books and articles that they’ll enjoy. It could
be a fun story, comics, or a topic they care about.
2. Create a Reading Routine: Set aside time each day for reading. Just 15 minutes a day
can make a big difference!
3. Offer Choice: Let students choose what they want to read. This makes reading feel less
like a chore and more like something they enjoy.
4. Set Goals: Encourage students to read a certain number of pages or books each month.
They can track their progress, which makes it fun and rewarding.
5. Read Together: Reading as a class or in groups helps students feel motivated and
excited about reading.

skill for effective communication. Teaching speaking is essential for enabling learners to express
themselves confidently and interact in real-life contexts.

55. Demonstrate your knowledge and speak on the following: To Correct or NOT
to correct speaking mistakes? Speaking accents. Pronunciation and intonation in
speech practice.
To Correct or NOT to Correct Speaking Mistakes?

 Correcting Speaking Mistakes:


o Immediate correction can disrupt fluency and reduce a learner’s confidence. However, it
is useful in accuracy-focused activities (e.g., grammar practice, role-plays).
o Teachers should correct selectively, prioritizing errors that impede understanding.
 NOT Correcting Speaking Mistakes:
o During fluency-focused tasks (e.g., discussions), it's better to let learners express
themselves freely and address mistakes after the activity.
o Self-correction and peer feedback are effective strategies that encourage learner
independence.

Speaking Accents

 Importance of Accents:
o Accents reflect cultural identity and are a natural part of language learning.
o The goal should not be "native-like" accents but intelligibility, ensuring learners can
communicate clearly.
o Exposure to diverse accents (e.g., British, American, Australian) helps learners adapt to
real-world communication.

Pronunciation and Intonation in Speech Practice

 Pronunciation:
o Pronunciation focuses on accurate articulation of sounds, word stress, and connected
speech.
o Activities like minimal pair drills (e.g., ship/sheep) and phonemic charts improve clarity.
 Intonation:
o Intonation conveys meaning, emotions, and attitudes. For example, rising intonation for
questions ("Are you coming?") or falling intonation for statements ("I’m leaving.").
o Practicing dialogues, emphasizing tone, and using visual aids (arrows, wave patterns)
enhance intonation.

 Make tests aligned with course objectives and communicative needs.

57. Use your knowledge and speak on the following: Teaching Communicative
Grammar.
What is Communicative Grammar?

Teaching grammar not as isolated rules but in real-life, meaningful contexts to promote
communication.

Principles of Communicative Grammar

1. Teach grammar in context, using real-life examples (e.g., dialogues, stories).


2. Focus on form, meaning, and use. For example, teach not only the structure of the present
perfect but when and why to use it.
3. Integrate grammar with other skills, like speaking and writing.

58. Show your knowledge and speak on the following: Teaching Vocabulary.
Vocabulary plays a crucial role in language learning, as it enables
learners to understand and express meaning in both spoken and
written communication. Effective vocabulary teaching requires
thoughtful planning, appropriate techniques, and the integration of
both explicit and implicit learning opportunities.

59. Demonstrate your knowledge and speak on the following: Mistakes, slips,

and activate prior knowledge.
2. Presentation (10 minutes) To introduce and demonstrate
the /ʃ/ sound.
3. Practice (10 minutes) To help students recognize and
produce the /ʃ/ sound in different words.
4. Production (5 minutes) To help students use the /ʃ/ sound
in context.
5. Wrap-Up (5 minutes) To review the lesson and ensure
understanding.
Homework:
• For homework, ask students to write 5 sentences using
words with the /ʃ/ sound and practice pronouncing them.

62. Prepare a procedure of a phonetic drill using a poem.

This phonetic drill using a poem not only helps students


practice a specific sound in context but also enhances their
understanding of rhythm, stress, and intonation in English. By
engaging with the poem repetitively and through different
activities, students have multiple opportunities to reinforce
their pronunciation of the target sound.

63. Prepare a mini - lesson plan activity of presenting a new grammar structure.

This mini lesson introduces the present continuous tense


through clear explanations, controlled practice, and
opportunities for students to use it in context. By gradually
moving from structured practice to more free production,
students will gain confidence in using the present continuous
for actions occurring right now.

64. Prepare pronunciation drill for one of the lessons for junior stage to show the
difference in material and in techniques of conducting the drill.
This pronunciation drill uses a variety of techniques such as
minimal pairs, perception activities, and sentence repetition to
help students distinguish and practice the /æ/ and /e/ sounds.
The aim is to ensure students are aware of the differences in
mouth positions and can pronounce both sounds clearly in
isolation and within sentences. The drill is adapted to be
interactive and engaging for young learners by using visual aids
like flashcards and simple sentences.

65. Prepare a mini lesson plan of practicing a grammar structure presented at a


previous lesson.

1. Warm-Up (5 minutes)
