Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Listening, speaking, reading, writing

In the 1970s and 1980s the four skills were generally taught how?

  1. Only through translation drills
  2. Only through games and songs
  3. Always together in one task
  4. In isolation, in a rigid order
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. In isolation, in a rigid order

1. Recall the idea: In the 1970s and 1980s, these four basic skills were generally taught in isolation in a very rigid order, such as listening before speaking. 2. So the correct choice is: In isolation, in a rigid order. 3. Later work showed people use more than one skill at a time, so integration replaced isolation. _Source: Wikipedia, Language education, section Skill teaching_

Why are integrated skill exercises preferred now?

  1. People usually use more than one skill at a time
  2. Isolated skills are impossible to test at all
  3. Listening plays no role in speaking tasks
  4. Writing can never be taught on its own
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. People usually use more than one skill at a time

1. Recall the idea: it has been recognized that people generally use more than one language skill at a time, leading to more integrated exercises 2. So the correct choice is: People usually use more than one skill at a time. 3. The claim about impossibility of testing or teaching alone is not made; the reason is natural overlap of skills. _Source: Wikipedia, Language education, section Skill teaching_
