Worked practice questions

NCERT says teaching approaches should be:

  1. Used one at a time
  2. Set by the textbook
  3. Mutually supportive
  4. Fixed for all schools
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Mutually supportive

1. NCERT reviews approaches such as Whole Language, task-based and communicative work. 2. It says approaches and methods need not be exclusive. 3. They may be mutually supportive within a broad cognitive philosophy. 4. So one-at-a-time, textbook-set or fixed use is not its view. **Why not the others:** Using one approach at a time, letting the textbook decide and fixing one approach for all schools all treat the approaches as exclusive. _Source: NCERT, Position Paper of the National Focus Group on Teaching of English (2006), section "3.2.2 English at the initial level", PDF p. 4 (ncert.nic.in/pdf/focus-group/english.pdf)_

NCF 2005 says a science class is also a:

  1. Drama class
  2. Games class
  3. Language class
  4. Craft class
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Language class

1. NCF 2005 says language education is not confined to the language classroom. 2. A science, social science or mathematics class is ipso facto a language class. 3. Learning a subject means learning its terminology and discussing it. **Why not the others:** Drama, games and craft are other activity areas, not what the NCF says about subject classes. _Source: NCERT, National Curriculum Framework 2005, section "3.1.2 Home/First language(s) or Mother-tongue education", PDF p. 57 (ncert.nic.in/pdf/nc-framework/nf2005-english.pdf)_

"Language across the curriculum" holds that all teaching is in a sense:

  1. Language teaching
  2. Rote-based teaching
  3. Exam preparation
  4. Moral teaching
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Language teaching

1. Language is best acquired through different meaning-making contexts. 2. Hence all teaching is in a sense language teaching. 3. The perspective is of special relevance to primary education. 4. It also marks how central language is to abstract thought at the secondary stage. **Why not the others:** Rote teaching, exam preparation and moral teaching are not what the perspective claims. _Source: NCERT, Position Paper of the National Focus Group on Teaching of English (2006), section "2 GOALS FOR A LANGUAGE CURRICULUM", PDF p. 13 (ncert.nic.in/pdf/focus-group/english.pdf)_
