Question 1: Match the teaching methods and their respective descriptions by writing the letters:
GTM (Grammar -Translation Method), DM (Direct Method), ALM (Audio-Lingual Method), SW
(Silent Way), TPR (Total Physical Response), and CLT (Communicative Language Teaching) in the
spaces numbered 1-10. (2.5pts)

Descriptions Methods
1 In this method, grammar rules are taught inductively.
2 In this method, the teacher uses the tools at his/her disposal to elicit the correct
language from the learners.
3 In this method, learning depends on mimicry and memorization of set phrases.
4 Techniques used in this method are mainly authentic materials, language games, role-
play, and scrambled sentences.
5 This is unnatural method of teaching English language because it starts with the
teaching of reading.
6 In this method, teachers model the target language, i.e., sounds and chain drills.
7 In this method, learning is facilitated by accompanying physical objects.
8 In this method, students should not be forced to repeat the commands; they are
supposed to speak when they are ready.
9 In this method, the teacher translates the text from the target language back to the
students’ first language and vice versa.
10 In this method, vocabulary is taught through realia.

Question 2: Decide whether the following statements are true or false. Write T for TRUE and F for
FALSE in the appropriate column. (2.5 pts)

1 In bottom-up processing, the reader gets a general view of the reading passage by
absorbing the overall picture.

2 When inductive approach is used in class, students are given the rules and asked to
apply it to do grammar exercises.
3 Opinion-gap task requires that students express their personal preferences, feeling
or attitudes in order to complete the task.
4 New words are often introduced before the teacher asks students to read or listen.
5 The age factor is nothing to do with learner’s acquisition.
6 Students should only listen to listening texts in class where the teacher can help and
guide them.
7 Receptive skills include speaking and writing skills
8 Groupwork and pair work increase the talking opportunities for individual
students.
9 A straight arrows lesson and a lesson with PPP sequence are similar.
10 The most important thing that student should get from a listening text is information
about how language is used.

Question 3: Some students refuse to participate the discussion. Explain the reasons and suggest
ways to solve the problems. Give at least 3 reasons and 3 specific solutions. Write no more than 200
words. (2.0 pts)
