20 The initial characteristics of this approach are as follows: 1. Students work harder
 than their teachers; 2. Students learn from classmates; 3. Students learn more by
experiences and active involvement; 4. Students apply new learning to real-life,
authentic experiences; 5. Students know what they are learning and why.

21 In Aspects of the Theory of Syntax (1965), this scholar wrote, "We thus make a
fundamental distinction between competence (the speaker-hearer's knowledge of his
language) and performance (the actual use of language in concrete situations)."
A Dell Hymes
B Byram
C Noam Chomsky
D Van Ek
E Wilkins
22 In this method, the teacher has an active role as he is the sole authority to control
and direct the whole learning programme. He monitors and corrects the students’
performance. He is also responsible for providing the students with a good model for
imitation. The teacher endeavors to keep the students attentive by varying drills and
tasks and choosing relevant situations to practice structures.

27 Community language learning (CLL) is
A a language-teaching approach in which students work together to develop what aspects of
a language they would like to learn. It is based on the counselling-approach in which the
teacher acts as a counselor and a paraphraser, while the learner is seen as a client and
collaborator.
B relied on the structural view of language. Both speech and structure were seen to be the
basis of language and especially speaking ability.
C built around the coordination of speech and action.
D a method of FLT that uses the target language, discarding any use of mother tongue in the
classroom.
E a language-teaching method makes extensive use of silence.
28 This term refers to a learner’s ability of using grammatical rules, forming correct
utterances, and knowing how to use these utterances appropriately. It was coined by
Dell Hymes in 1966, reacting against the perceived inadequacy of Noam Chomsky’s
distinction between competence and performance.
A Linguistic competence
B Communicative competence
C Pragmatic competence
D Discourse competence
E Competence
29 This method is to enable students become independent and autonomous. It was first
originated by Caleb Gattegno in the 1970 in the USA. As he stated, the teacher
remains mostly silent to encourage students to produce more language.

C Total Physical Response
D Community Language Learning
E Suggestopedia
30 Brown (2007) gives his definition of this approach as “an approach to language
teaching methodology that emphasizes authenticity, interaction, student-centered
learning, task-based activities and communication for the real world, meaningful
purposes”.
A Intercultural communicative competence (ICC) based approach
B Community Language Learning
C Cooperative learning
D Oral approach
E Content-centered approach
31 The underlying assumptions of this method are as follows: 1. Translation interprets
the words and phrases of the foreign languages in the best possible manner. 2. The
phraseology and the idiom of the target language can best be assimilated in the
process of interpretation. 3. The structures of the foreign languages are best learned
when compared and contrasted with those of mother tongue.

B CLT
C ALM
D GTM
E Oral approach
32 The characteristic features of this method are as follows: 1. Spoken language
becomes the basis of teaching, 2.Learning the mother tongue and learning a FL are
the similar processes; 3.Great attention is paid in teaching pronunciation;
4.Inductive way in teaching grammar.

spoken language; 2. Translating is an important goal for learners; 3. The authority
in the classroom is the teacher; 4. The primary skills are reading and writing. 5. Its
focus is on accuracy not fluency; 6. Error correction.
