Worked practice questions

How were the four skills taught in the 1970s?

  1. Through writing tasks alone
  2. Only through group projects
  3. All together in every lesson
  4. In isolation, in a rigid order
Show answer and solution

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

1. Older practice separated the skills into distinct blocks. 2. They followed a fixed order such as listening before speaking. 3. Integrated teaching came later, so the group and all-together options describe modern practice. _Source: Wikipedia, Language education, Skill teaching_

Correct answer: C. People usually use several skills at once
