      Doesn't put theory into practice

    Correct Answer(s)
    D. Breeds confidence
    G. Doesn't allow students to process information
    Explanation
    The Audio-Linguistic method breeds confidence because it focuses on developing speaking and listening skills, allowing students to practice and improve their English communication abilities. However, it doesn't allow students to process information as it primarily relies on repetitive drills and memorization, neglecting the development of critical thinking and comprehension skills.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Great for survival English
    E. No flexibility for learning other things
    Explanation
    The advantage of the Directed Practice method is that it is great for survival English, meaning it focuses on teaching practical language skills that are necessary for everyday communication. This method is particularly beneficial for beginners as it provides a clear structure and direction for learning.

    On the other hand, a disadvantage of this method is that it lacks flexibility for learning other things. The Directed Practice method may be limited in its scope and may not allow students to explore other topics or areas of interest. This can be restrictive for students who are looking for a more diverse and comprehensive learning experience.

    Correct Answer(s)
    B. Considered the best for beginners
    F. Better students get frustrated by this method
    Explanation
    The Direct method is considered the best for beginners because it focuses on practical communication skills and helps learners quickly develop their speaking and listening abilities. This method emphasizes immersion and encourages students to think and speak in the target language from the start. However, better students may get frustrated by this method because it does not provide much opportunity for in-depth analysis or explanation of grammar rules and structures. It may not satisfy their need for a deeper understanding of the language.

    • A.

      Functional

    • B.

      Structural

      Communicative

    • D.

      Natural

    Correct Answer
    C. Communicative
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Communicative. The Direct Method is a teaching approach that focuses on communication and the use of the target language in real-life situations. It emphasizes the importance of oral communication and aims to develop students' speaking and listening skills. In this method, the teacher uses the target language as the primary means of instruction, and students are encouraged to communicate in the target language from the beginning. The Direct Method also emphasizes the use of visual aids, gestures, and real-life objects to support understanding and communication.

    Rate this question:

  • 14.

      Audio-Lingual

    • D.

      Situational Language Learning

    A. Total Immersion
    Explanation
    Total Immersion is an example of the communicative approach to learning a language because it involves being fully immersed in the language and using it in real-life situations. This method focuses on communication and encourages learners to interact and engage in meaningful conversations in the target language. Through constant exposure and practice, learners develop their language skills naturally, similar to how they learned their native language.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The given statement is false. EAP, or English for Academic Purposes, is not an exam that foreign students need to pass to prove their English proficiency for studying at a British university. EAP refers to a type of English language instruction that focuses on the skills needed for academic study, such as writing essays, conducting research, and participating in academic discussions. While some universities may require students to take an English language proficiency test, such as the IELTS or TOEFL, EAP itself is not an exam.

Over time, English has also incorporated loanwords from Latin, French, and Celtic, but its core foundation remains rooted in the Germanic language family.

    How would you deal with a situation where you have 2 teenage boys who keep speaking to each other in their native language? They are not disrupting the class as they are sitting next to each other, and they never chat when the teacher or other students are speaking, they only chat quietly when waiting for other students to finish exercises. They are attentive in class, and can answer most questions you ask them. Although more than one answer may be right, try to think what would be the most productive or ideal solution.

    • A.

      Ask them to wait until after the class, and tell them that their behaviour is not acceptable.

    • B.

      They are underchallenged, prepare more exercises to keep them busy.

    • C.

      Move the student so they cannot speak to each other.

    • D.

      Throw a pen at them every time they speak.

    • E.

      Ask the secretary to tell their parents.

    Correct Answer
    B. They are underchallenged, prepare more exercises to keep them busy.
    Explanation
    The correct answer suggests that the reason the two teenage boys are speaking to each other in their native language is because they are underchallenged in the class. By preparing more exercises to keep them busy, it is implied that they will be more engaged in the classwork and less likely to chat with each other. This solution focuses on addressing the underlying issue of their lack of engagement rather than punishing or reprimanding their behavior.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    Every Wednesday afternoon you teach pre-intermediate 11 year olds. They always come into class bursting full of energy, and it often takes you 20 minutes to get the classroom properly under control. What should you do in such situation? Again, try to think of the best solution, more than one may seem plausible.

    • A.

      Make the students sit quietly for the first 4 minutes.

    • B.

      Give the students a writing exercise until they have calmed down.

    • C.

      Warn them that they will get homework if their behaviour continues.

    • D.

      Prepare a warm-up that burns energy.

    • E.

      Bring a whistle to the classroom to get their attention.

    Correct Answer
    D. Prepare a warm-up that burns energy.
    Explanation
    A warm-up that burns energy would be the best solution in this situation. By engaging the students in physical activities at the beginning of the class, their excess energy can be channeled in a positive way. This will help them release their energy and become more focused and attentive for the rest of the class. It will also create a more positive and interactive learning environment.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    You teach a 40 year old bank manager in a one-to-one lesson. You are teaching him general vocabulary and grammar. He often looks demotivated and bored. You have noticed that he has started to cancel his classes once or twice a month. What would you do? Again, try to think of the best solution, more than one may seem plausible.

    • A.

      Complete a needs analysis and see what his motivation is for learning English.

    • B.

      Start to teach using Direct Method.

    • C.

      Make the student complete a test every month.

    • D.

      Do more listening exercises.

    • E.

      Ask him if he wants to stop learning English.

    Correct Answer
    A. Complete a needs analysis and see what his motivation is for learning English.
    Explanation
    Completing a needs analysis would help identify the specific reasons why the bank manager is demotivated and bored. It would allow the teacher to understand his goals and expectations, and tailor the lessons accordingly. This would help increase his motivation and engagement in the classes, potentially reducing the frequency of cancellations. Additionally, it would provide an opportunity to address any underlying issues or concerns that may be affecting his motivation.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    You are teaching a class of adults in the evening. During stages where you or other students are speaking, you notice that one of the students, a 45 year old woman, is falling asleep whilst sitting (nodding off). It's been happening for the last 3 lessons now, what do you do? Again, try to think of the best solution, more than one may seem plausible.

    • A.

      Point to her as she's falling asleep so the other students can laugh at her.

    • B.

      Ask her to wait after the lesson. Explain that her behaviour is not appropriate.

    • C.

      Turn down the radiator or open a window.

    • D.

      Ignore it, perhaps she will get better.

    • E.

      Think how you can plan more interactive, enjoyable lessons to keep her attentive.

    Correct Answer
    E. Think how you can plan more interactive, enjoyable lessons to keep her attentive.
    Explanation
    The best solution in this situation is to think about how to plan more interactive and enjoyable lessons to keep the student attentive. This approach focuses on addressing the underlying issue of the student falling asleep and finding ways to engage her in the class. Pointing her out to the other students or asking her to wait after the lesson may embarrass or isolate the student, while turning down the radiator or ignoring the situation may not effectively address the problem.

    Which level do you think the written text represents? Hey Milka, I am writing to see how you are feeling after your birthday party. It was great fun. It has been long time since I was skiing. At first I felt like I had 2 left legs but after 30 minutes I started to remember and I didn'f fall over so much at the end. It was great idea to have the party in that restaurant, the live music was good but a little to noisey.  I met your brother for the first time, he's a really sympathetic boy and so tall for just 16 years. I think the party was a success and everyone had a good time. I was conscious that you were nervous before your speech but it was clear and a little funny. Thanks again for inviting me. When you are coming to Munich next time give me a phone call and we can meet. Take care Helmut

    Explanation
    Listening is often considered the most difficult skill for learners because it requires the ability to understand spoken language in real-time, without the opportunity to pause or review. Unlike reading or writing, where learners have the luxury of going at their own pace, listening requires quick processing and comprehension skills. Additionally, learners may struggle with understanding different accents, variations in speed, and unfamiliar vocabulary or idiomatic expressions. Overall, developing good listening skills can be challenging and requires practice and exposure to a variety of spoken language.

    Scanning involves reading through the text quickly to get a general impression what the text is about, without concentrating on each word or sentence. We can use this in our lessons by giving our students a set of multiple choice or closed questions (where the answer is yes or no) and a short time limit. The students have to skim through the text, trying to pick out the relevant words to be able to answer the questions.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False

    The best form of correction to use during the Practice stage of a lesson is:

    Correct Answer
    Instant
    Explanation
    During the Practice stage of a lesson, using instant correction is the most effective form of correction. Instant correction allows for immediate feedback, which helps learners identify and correct their mistakes in real time. This immediate feedback helps reinforce correct language usage and prevents learners from practicing incorrect forms or habits. It also promotes active engagement and participation, as learners can actively learn from their mistakes and make necessary adjustments. Overall, instant correction is a valuable tool in the Practice stage as it facilitates efficient learning and improvement.

    Explanation
    During the Present stage of a lesson, it is important to provide immediate correction to students. This allows them to quickly learn from their mistakes and make necessary adjustments. By providing instant correction, students can understand and correct their errors in real-time, leading to better comprehension and retention of the material being taught. This form of correction ensures that students receive immediate feedback, enabling them to improve their understanding and performance during the lesson.

    The best form of correction to use during the Perform stage of a lesson is:

    Correct Answer
    delayed
    delayed correction
    Explanation
    During the Perform stage of a lesson, the best form of correction to use is delayed correction. This means that instead of immediately correcting a student's mistake, the teacher waits until a later point in the lesson to address and correct it. Delayed correction allows students to continue speaking and maintain their fluency without interruption, while also giving them the opportunity to self-correct or learn from their mistakes. It promotes a more natural and interactive learning environment, allowing students to actively engage in the learning process and reflect on their errors.

    Rate this question:

  • 36. 

    In a skills lesson, the best form of correction that we always try to achieve first is:

    Correct Answer
    self-correction
    self
    wait
    self correction
    Explanation
    In a skills lesson, the best form of correction that is always aimed for first is self-correction. This means that the learner is encouraged to identify and correct their own mistakes. By allowing the learner to take responsibility for their own errors, it promotes active learning and helps to develop their problem-solving skills. The option "self" is likely a typo or repetition of the correct answer. The option "wait" does not align with the concept of self-correction. The option "self correction" is again a repetition of the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 37. 

    Which form of correction must we be careful of using with cultures that 'do not like to lose face', or feel embarrassed in front of the other students?

    Correct Answer
    peer
    peer correction
    Explanation
    In cultures where people do not like to lose face or feel embarrassed in front of others, using peer correction must be done with caution. Peer correction refers to the practice of students correcting each other's mistakes. However, in cultures that value saving face, openly pointing out someone's mistakes in front of others can lead to embarrassment and loss of face. Therefore, when using peer correction in such cultures, it is important to be mindful of the potential impact on the individual's self-esteem and social standing.
