Language Development:
- Language lab is the place where the learners have to listen to the headphone. The language labs are set up with a view to providing listening activities in order to develop
- Speech habit

- communicative competence is a subset of functional grammar and its approach in teaching will allow students to learn grammar through meaningful communication.
- computer facilitates communication between schools as well as between students’ teachers and programs or between students or teachers and data.
- the method which advocates linguistic competence and performance – communicative approach.
- the term’ linguistic competence’ is associated with communicative approach methods to ELT (English Language Test).
- emphasis on interaction as both the means and the ultimate goal of learning a language underlies the communicative approach.
- the focus is on using the language rather than analysis of the language and grammar is taught implicitly rather than explicitly – Communicative approach

- Listening to a good speaker helps a learner in avoiding communication errors.
- The communicative approach to the teaching of language is related to:
- honing the abilities to listen, speaking, reading, writing, and meaning-making.

Writing:
- If a student of language is cramming his/her answers then he/she would not able to attempt creative writing.
- Process writing approach could be described as a bottom-up approach
- A teacher of class 6 in a writing assessment task asked students to write on “if I were famous for something” This is an assessment of an answer – descriptive.
- in the process of developing a writing skill, the normal process includes the following
- proofreading,
- editing and
- drafting
- A good paragraph writing in English involves – Ideas, presentation, and Coherence.
- The following where a teacher should not use while initiating the process of writing approach
- dictating notes

- If a longer piece of writing is brief, complete in the third person without digressions and emotional overtones and logically arranged it is a report.

Listening:
- Language lab is the place where the learners have to listen to the headphone. The language labs are set up with a view to providing listening activities in order to develop
- Speech habit
- If you are listening to the description of how to reach a specific location then you are doing intensive listening.
- “Roleplay” is an activity for promoting speaking and listening.
- Some of the features of a good listening task – give clues and supports completion of tasks
- The students are asked to answer inferential questions about information which was implied by the text, Here the student’s reading and listening skills are evaluated
- Students always find it difficult to listen to and understand a second language presentation inside or outside their class. This can be helped by practice by using the second language more.
Speaking:
- “Roleplay” is an activity for promoting speaking and listening.
- A speech community refers to a community that speaks the same language.

- To develop language functions, the teaching of speaking skills for younger children would include greeting informal requests asking for personal information.
- Learning a language involves the process of listening, speaking, reading and writing. These processes involve
- Linguistic aspect and psychological aspect.
Reading:
- During the reading, if a student is piercing information together as they read a text keeping track of what is happening, he/she is synthesizing.
- Extensive reading is reading the text for pleasure.
- The purpose of rapid reading is for extended reading activity which is meant for connecting previous knowledge and taking the learner into the text.
- Appropriate for teaching a reading text learners to divide the text into small chunks and read.
- learners are made into groups and asked to read by taking turns
- learners read individually and discuss with their friends the ideas of the text.
- Post-reading tasks are meant for assessing the learning and connecting them to real-life situations.
- Intensive reading is aimed at helping the learners read a text for Improving study skills.
- Intensive reading – involves learner’s reading in detail with specific learning aims and tasks.
- reading skill can best be developed by focusing on the use of words in a given context
- silent reading is encouraged because it promotes fluency and accuracy
- scanning and skimming are reading strategies
- The following skills which are assessed if ‘cloze’ is used as a tool – reading for language learning
- While selecting a reading text for your students it has to be appropriate to the age level
- The students are asked to answer inferential questions about information which was implied by the text, Here the student’s reading and listening skills are evaluated.
- when they encounter unfamiliar words during a reading activity students should be trained to —— while processing the meaning of the whole text?
- use information in its context to correctly guess its rough area of meaning.
- a reading activity where students focus on phonemic sounds, pronunciation, and intonation can be used to assess – reading accuracy
Grammar:
- Grammar-translation method of teaching English heavily relies on form focussed teaching.
- The grammar-translation method is basically used to teach classical language.
- The following can be used as a rubric for the assessment of fluency and coherence of language

- students can master complex language structures without being aware of the fact they are doing so through the use of grammar games, with a focus on relevant structures.
- How does computer technology support language learning in class 5 and 6 to enhance accuracy in student’s writing? – By checking spelling and grammar.
- the focus is on using the language rather than analysis of the language and grammar is taught implicitly rather than explicitly – Communicative approach
- When the teacher quietly observes the students during a collaborative grammar activity, the activity plays a diagnostic role.
- Integrating semantic function as a part of grammar instruction requires students to focus on the communication of meaning and accuracy of language.
- In the communicative classroom, learners acquire the grammar of the second language to understand how to make meaning and become more proficient in speaking and writing.
- While assessing a report of a school program for a class journal the following are the man criteria
- relevance
- logical organization of content and
- a direct style
- Communicative competence is a subset of functional grammar and its approach in teaching will allow students to learn grammar through meaningful communication.
- The computer facilitates communication between schools as well as between student’s teachers and programs or between students or teachers and data.
