Question 2

A teacher wants to introduce new vocabulary and grammatical structures, ensuring students can produce them accurately without much cognitive effort initially. However, she also aims to move towards real-world usage and spontaneous interaction eventually. Which sequence of pedagogical steps would effectively bridge the gap from controlled practice to freer communication, drawing on principles from both Audio-lingual and CLT?

Accepted Answer

B. Start with controlled repetition and substitution drills for accuracy, followed by guided communicative tasks like role-plays, and concluding with authentic discussions. — Option B represents a balanced approach: starting with controlled practice (influenced by the Audio-lingual Method) builds accuracy and confidence, then progressing to guided and freer communicative tasks (influenced by CLT) promotes fluency and real-world application. Option A is characteristic of the Grammar-Translation method. Option C is more aligned with discovery learning, and Option D emphasizes individual, silent work, which might delay oral communication development.

Answer

A. Begin with extensive grammar explanations, then assign translation exercises, and finally engage in free conversation.

Answer

C. Immediately immerse students in complex authentic texts, asking them to infer meaning and grammar rules independently.

Answer

D. Prioritize individual silent reading and writing activities, gradually introducing spoken communication only when students feel ready.
