alleryKrashen, as cited by NCERT, calls concurrent translation:
AThe best method
BVery effective
CNot effective
DAlways necessary
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Not effective
1. NCERT cites Krashen on the use of two languages in class.
2. He points out that concurrent translation is not effective.
3. Two languages can still be used to give comprehensible input in the target language.
**Why not the others:** The best method, very effective and always necessary all contradict Krashen's statement.
