True or False (30%)Directions: In this part, you are given thirty statements about English teaching. Read these statements carefully and decide whether they are tru

18、e or false. Mark “A” for “True”, “B” for “False” on the Answer Sheet for the objective items (30 points; 1 points each).16. One question that all approaches of language teaching should answer is “What is language?” The answer to this question is the basis for syllabus design, teaching methods, teach

19、ing procedures in the classroom, and even the techniques used in the class.17. Language acquisition is a subconscious process where language is acquired as a result of natural and largely random exposure to language.18. The behaviorist theory of language learning was initiated by behavioral psycholo

20、gist Skinner. Based on the theory of conditioning, Skinner suggested language is also a form of behavior. It can be learned the same way as an animal is trained to respond to stimuli.19. The goal of Communicative Language teaching is to develop students linguistic competence.20. Communicative compet

21、ence entails knowing not only the language code or the form of language, but also what to say to whom and how to say it appropriately in any given situation.21. The role of the teacher changes following the aims of the class. The teacher may function more as a controller if he is mainly doing presen

22、tation of new language points, whereas he is more of a resource or prompter or participant once a communicative activity starts.22. Speech flow, such as stress, intonation, pauses, etc. can help to convey the meaning that is intended by the speaker. They should be taught from the very beginning.23.

23、There are two methods in teaching grammar: the deductive method and the inductive method. The former starts with real examples, and through a study of the examples comes to the grammar rule that is suggested in the examples. The latter starts with the presentation of the grammar rules first and then

24、 processes to the study of illustrative examples.24. Receptive words refer to those which are not only understood in listening and reading, but also produced readily in speech and writing, esp. those used in everyday speech.25. The purpose of pre-listening activities is to activate the students sche

25、ma, in other words, to add context, so that the actual listening itself becomes easier.26. At the early stage of the PPP model more focus should be laid on accuracy whereas at the later stage, fluency becomes the focus of teaching.27. Efficient reading depends first of all on having a purpose for re

26、ading, i.e., knowing why you are reading a text. The purpose will usually determine what specific information you are going to look for and the appropriate type of reading skills to be used.28. The bottom-up model of teaching reading reflects the belief that ones background knowledge plays a more im

27、portant role than new words and new structures in reading comprehension.29. The purpose of pre-reading is to facilitate while-reading activities. This stage of reading is often called Lead-in, where the students and teacher prepare themselves for the tasks and familiarize themselves with the topic o

28、f the reading exercises.30. The way to transfer information from one form to another is called a transition device. Pictures, drawings maps, tables, diagrams and charts, etc. are some transition devices that are often used in teaching reading.31. In order to motivate students, we should advocate aut

29、hentic writing tasks that have some communicative elements. It is necessary to engage them in some act of communication. This means either writing for a specific recipient or engaging in an act of creative writing where their work is intended to be read by an intended audience.32. Norm-referenced la

30、nguage assessment is based on a fixed standard or a set criterion.33. The teaching of pronunciation should focus on the students ability to identify and produce English sounds themselves. Students should not be led to focus on reading and writing phonetic transcripts of words, especially young stude

31、nts, because phonetic transcripts are more abstract and less meaningful.34. The Communicative Approach lays emphasis on developing the communicative competence. It takes into great consideration the need of the studentswhat to teach is based on consideration of what language the learners would most

32、likely use to communicate in the foreign language.35. The more communicative an activity is, the less the control that is needed.36. When a communicative activities starts, the teacher is left nothing to do, since non-teacher-intervention is important in a genuine communicative activity. He can sit

33、in front of the class and do some private reading until the time is up.37. It is believed that the inductive method for teaching grammar is more effective in that students discover the grammar rules themselves while engaged in language use. 38. One way to make speaking tasks communicative is to use

34、information gap activities, in which the students have different information and they need to obtain information from each other in order to finish a task.39. The process approach to writing does not only pay attention to what students do while they are writing, it also attaches great importance to

35、what the students do before they start writing and after they finish writing.40. Discourse features include aspects such as: the way the text is organized, its layout, the style of the language and the register.41. Integration of the four skills is concerned with realistic communication. This means

36、that we are teaching at the discourse level, not just at the level of the sentences or individual words and phrases.42. During a communicative activity, whenever a teacher finds a mistake, no matter in what sense, grammatical or cultural or any other aspect, he should stop the student and correct it

37、.43. In Hymess words, there are “rules of use without which the rules of grammar would be useless”, which simply means, besides grammatical rules, language use is governed by rules of use.44. One of the major principles behind good lesson planning is flexibility, which means planning to use a number

38、 of different methods and techniques rather than being a slave to one methodology.45. An important feature of todays language classroom is that students do not always study as one big group. Rather, for much of the class time, students are broken down to groups of different sizes. The most common st

39、udent groupings are lockstep, pair work, group work, and individual work. III. Short Answer Questions (15%) Directions: In this part, there are two questions about English teaching. Choose ONE of them and write down your answers in brief. You will be assessed in the points you present and the way yo

40、u present them (15 points).1. In what ways is role-play valuable in a language classroom? Which stages does role play usually have?2. What are the reasons for using group work in the language teaching classroom, especially in speaking tasks?IV. Lesson Planning (25%)Direction: Suppose you are to teac

Roleplay is a very common language learning activity where students play different roles and interact from the point of view of the roles the

45、y play. Role-play is valuable in a language classroom for several reasons: 1) it is motivating; 2) students interact in small groups so that they have less pressure; 3) students have the chance to practice the newly learned language; 4) there is enough room for creativity.In order to be effective, a

46、 role-play activity needs to be carefully set up. Rushing into a role-play activity often leads to confusion and dissatisfaction. Role-play usually has the following stages:1) Defining the roles and setting up goals.2) Pairing/grouping students and assigning roles.3) Preparation: Whole class brainst

47、orm possible questions, or students playing the same roles go into a group to work out the questions.4) Role play in pairs/groups5) Class viewing/demonstration6) Teacher gives feedback based on active monitoring.2. Group work is valuable in a language classroom, especially in speaking tasks, for several reasons: Firstly, in successful speaking tasks, the students talk a lot in the foreign language. This is the strongest argumen
