alleryA pedagogical principle behind multilingual teaching is moving from:
AThe known to the unknown
BThe unknown to the known
CThe whole to the parts
DThe complex to the simple
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. The known to the unknown
1. The multilingual perspective addresses concerns of language and culture.
2. It also reflects a pedagogical principle: moving from the known to the unknown.
3. A child's other languages are the known base.
**Why not the others:** The unknown to the known reverses the principle. Whole to parts and complex to simple are not what NCERT names here.
