True or FalseDirections: In this part, you are given thirty statements about English teaching. Read these statements carefully and decide whether they are true or false. Mark “A” for “True”, “B” for “False”on the Answer Sheet for the objective items (30 points; 1 point each).21.The understanding of the nature of language provides the basis for a particularteaching method. Different views on language generate different teaching methodologies.22.Discourse features include aspects such as: the way the text is organized, itslayout, the style of the language and the register23.Based on the theory of conditioning, Skinner suggested language is also a form ofbehavior. It can be learned the same way as an animal is trained to respond to stimuli. This theory of learning is referred to as cognitivism.24.The goal of communicative language teaching is to develop students’communicative competence, which includes both the knowledge about the language and the knowledge about how to use the language appropriately in communicative situations.25.In Hymes’s words, there are “rules of use without which the rules of grammarwould be useless”, which simply means, besides grammatical rules, language use is governed by rules of use.26.Generally speaking, in communicative language teaching, the teacher is afacilitator of students’learning. His role is less dominant than in a teacher-centred method.27.Stress and intonation are as important as the sounds themselves and should betaught from the very beginning.28.Task-based Language Teaching is, in fact, a further development ofCommunicative Language Teaching. However, it stresses the importance to combine form-focused teaching with communication-focused teaching.29.An important feature of today’s language classroom is that students do not alwaysstudy as one big group. Rather, for much of the class time, students are broken down to groups of different sizes. The most common student groupings are whole class work, pair work, group work, and individual work.30.It is very important to make students aware that not all words are equallyimportant and that effective ways of vocabulary learning help to reduce forgetting.31.The presentation stage of the PPP model is for the teacher to present the newlanguage to the students in meaningful contexts and make sure they understand what it means and how it is used. So this stage is usually teacher-controlled and there is much emphasis on accuracy at this stage.32.Good teachers plan their classes minutely so that everything they do isprearranged, and once they are in the classroom, they follow their plan without deviation.33.An important type of pre-reading activity is setting the scene, which meansgetting the students familiarized with the cultural and social background knowledge relevant to the reading text.34.The way to transfer information from one form to another is called a transitiondevice. In teaching reading, when information in text form is transferred to visual form, it can be more effectively processed and retained.35.Role-play is a very common language learning activity where students playdifferent roles and interact from the point of view of the roles they play.36.A PPP cycle leads from accuracy to fluency, a TBL cycle leads from fluency toaccuracy (combined with fluency).37.When a communicative activities starts, the teacher is left nothing to do, sincenon-teacher-intervention is important in a genuine communicative activity.He can sit in front of the class and do some private reading until the time is up. 38.Post-reading activities usually contribute to the development of all the languageskills and may involve using other skills than just reading.39.Pronunciation is an umbrella term covering many interrelated aspects besidessounds and phonetic symbols, such as stress, intonation, and rhythm.40.Children do not learn grammar rules when they acquire their first language, sothey do not need them either when learning a foreign language. 41.The bottom-up model of teaching reading reflects the belief that one’sbackground knowledge plays a more important role than new words and new structures in reading comprehension.42.There are many opportunities to integrate listening with the practice of otherlanguage skills, especially at the post-listening stage.43.The fact that speech is spontaneous means that it is full of false stats, repetitions,incomplete sentences, and short phrases.44.The theory of multiple intelligences implies that our teaching should be able todevelop as much as possible students’different potentials in their intelligences, giving everyone the chance to demonstrate and use their potentials to the fullest possible.45.The process approach to writing does not only pay attention to what students dowhile they are writing, it also attaches great importance to what the students do before they start writing and after they finish writing.46.Although popular, the three P’s model is not always applicable in var iouslanguage classes, especially the skill-oriented lessons.47.Making errors will lead to bad habit formation, so we should correct themwhenever they occur.48.Teachers have the responsibility to provide multiple opportunities for theirstudents to develop different learning styles.nguage acquisition is a subconscious process where language is acquired as aresult of natural and largely random exposure to language.50.In the following activity the teacher acts as an assessor:T: Do you have any hobbies?S: Yes, I like singing and dancing.T: Uhm, and …?S: I also collect coins.III.

Some teachers say, “During a communicative activity, whenever a teacher findsa mistake, no matter in what sense, grammatical or cultural or any other aspect,he should stop the student and correct it.” Do you think it is the correct thing for the teacher to do in class? Give your reasons.IV. Lesson PlanningDirection:Suppose you are to teach a class of 40 senior middle school students.
