NCERT wants a textbook seen as a "dynamic" text, so learners meet:

ANew, comparable language daily
BOne text mastered by heart
CA set of fixed model answers
DThe same text each week
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. New, comparable language daily
1. NCERT says curricular freedom cannot exist with a single prescribed text. 2. A textbook should be seen as a dynamic text. 3. Exposure should be to new occurrences of comparable language samples every day. 4. It should not be repeated exposure to a single text that is mastered. 5. The comparison is made to learning a raga in Indian classical music. 6. So learners should meet new, comparable language daily. **Why the other options fail:** - Mastering one text by heart is the very practice rejected. - Fixed model answers encourage rote work. - A text repeated each week is still a single text. _Source: NCERT, Position Paper of the National Focus Group on Teaching of English (2006), section "3.5 Textbooks", PDF p. 22 (ncert.nic.in/pdf/focus-group/english.pdf)_
