Directions: 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 particular

teaching method. Different views on language generate different teaching methodologies.

22.Discourse features include aspects such as: the way the text is organized, its

layout, the style of the language and the register

23.Based on the theory of conditioning, Skinner suggested language is also a form of

behavior. 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 grammar

would 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 a

facilitator 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 be

taught from the very beginning.

28.Task-based Language Teaching is, in fact, a further development of

Communicative 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 always

study 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 equally

important 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 new

language 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 is

prearranged, 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 means

getting 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 transition

device. 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 play

different 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 to

accuracy (combined with fluency).

37.When a communicative activities starts, the teacher is left nothing to do, since

non-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 language

skills and may involve using other skills than just reading.

39.Pronunciation is an umbrella term covering many interrelated aspects besides

sounds and phonetic symbols, such as stress, intonation, and rhythm.

40.Children do not learn grammar rules when they acquire their first language, so

they do not need them either when learning a foreign language. 41.The bottom-up model of teaching reading reflects the belief that one’s

background 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 other

language 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 to

develop 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 do

while 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 ious

language classes, especially the skill-oriented lessons.

47.Making errors will lead to bad habit formation, so we should correct them

whenever they occur.

48.Teachers have the responsibility to provide multiple opportunities for their

students to develop different learning styles.

https://www.360docs.net/doc/1313641732.html,nguage acquisition is a subconscious process where language is acquired as a

result 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. Short Answer Questions

Directions: In this part, there are two questions about English teaching. Choose ONE of them and write down your answers in brief. You will be assessed in the points you present and the way you present them (15 points).

1. What are the reasons for using group work in the language teaching classroom,

especially in speaking tasks?

2. Some teachers say, “During a communicative activity, whenever a teacher finds

a 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 Planning

Direction:Suppose you are to teach a class of 40 senior middle school students. Design an outline lesson plan of the first 45-minute period for the reading text given.

参考答案如下：

1. Group work is valuable in a language classroom, especially in speaking tasks, for several reasons: Firstly, in successful speaking tasks, the students talk a lot in the foreign language. This is the strongest argument for using small group work because it increases the time for each student to practice speaking in one lesson. A second reason for designing speaking tasks to be completed in small groups is that often students are afraid of criticism or losing face or they simply feel shy about speaking in a foreign language in front of a whole class. Speaking in small groups is more natural, and is often relaxing. Thirdly, different small groups can work at different levels if the teacher groups them according to language level. If teachers modify a given task to make it easier for slower students and more challenging for more advanced students, then all students will continue learning and remain more motivated. Fourthly, small group work helps students learn to work cooperatively and it helps them develop interpersonal skills.

2.This statement describes inappropriate behavior for the teacher. In a communicative activity, it is advisable that the teacher waits until the activity has been completed and then gives feedback on both the performance and the language. If he does it during the process of communication, the intervention may divert the students’ attention from negoti ating and exchanging information. If this is the case, the significance of the activity is lost and or very little learning is taking place. When fluency is being trained, the students should not be interrupted. It is vital for the teacher to be sensitive to his students in his role as assessor and to realize when correcting is inappropriate.
