7. «. READ THE FOLLOWING PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUES AND WRITE TRUE OR FALSE BASED ON THE AUDIO-LINGUAL METHOD OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING.

A._______ Students are asked to replace the parts of speech with given cues and expected to produce their own example pattern in turn.

B._______ The target of language learning is to master the structurally related elements (phonological, grammatical, lexical units)

C._______ The teacher is like a counselor or consultant; and must know the students’ native language.

D. _______ The typical order of skills in a language class should be ‘speaking, listening, reading and writing’

E. _______ Grammar rules are given explicitly, so the language is taught deductively.

F. _______ Students follow their teacher as a perfect model of the target language.

G._______ Error correction is postponed to the end of the lesson to help students see their own errors themselves.

H._______ The teacher uses minimal pairs to help students identify differences and similarities.

8. Check if these statements are TRUE or FALSE according to Community Language Learning – a method of foreign language teaching. If the statement is FALSE, that is because a word or phrase is replaced by a false one. If the statement is FALSE, underline the word or phrase that should be changed in order for the statement to be TRUE.

a) _______ Charles Curran who developed a new education model he called "Counceling-Learning" primarily considered cognitive factors as paramount in the learning process.

b) _______ The teacher is perceived as a disruptive agent in the learning process, not a threat.

c) _______ Community Language Learning seeks to encourage teachers to see their students as "whole" persons, where their feelings, intellect, interpersonal relationships, protective reactions, and desire to learn are addressed and balanced.

d) _______ When a student wants to say something, they first say it in their native language, which the teacher then translates back to them using the target language.

e) _______ Grammar and vocabulary are taught deductively.

f) _______ The Community Language Learning method does not just attempt to teach students how to use another language communicatively, it also tries to encourage the students to take increasingly more responsibility for their own learning, and to "learn about their learning"

g) _______ It can be effectively used for large or very large classrooms.

h) _______ It has been criticized for being too non-directive, and it certainly is not a method which could be recommended for students who are learning English as part of a standard, compulsory education curriculum.

i) _______ Another limitation of CLL is that the CLL teacher does not have to be fluent in both the target language and the students' mother language.
