09 As part of a class project, a teacher planned a salad fruit celebration day in which all learners needed to participate. The boys protested as they felt that boys do not cook. The teacher should 1. make an attempt to counsel the boys, impressing upon them that gender stereotyping is not healthy 2. respect the sentiments of the boys and allow them not to participate in the class project 3. ignore such protests and tell the boys what she thinks of their bias 4. complain to the head of the school seeking action against the boys
11 The contemporary target language classroom is a confluence of varied languages and language abilities. Teachers should restructure their practices by exposing students to 1. summaries and simplified versions of the learning materials e.g., stories, grammar notes etc 2. worksheets with a variety of tasks which cover the syllabus and students give their responses in class under teacher's guidance 3. appropriate challenges based on the syllabus, in a secure environment, opportunities for all students to explore ideas and gain mastery 4. adequate self-explanatory notes, either prepared by teacher or from material writers
13 Role play should be an integral part of every language classroom because 1. it enables girls and boys to interact freely 2. it is an effective classroom management technique 3. it enables students to engage in meaningful talk 4. it enables students to memorize the story
