Practice Test: English Pedagogy - 1 - CTET & State TET MCQ

A lesson plan is the instructor’s road map of what students need to learn and how it will be done effectively during the class time. Before you plan your lesson, you will first need to identify the learning objectives for the class meeting. Then, you can design appropriate learning activities and develop strategies to obtain feedback on student learning. A successful lesson plan addresses and integrates these three key components:
* Objectives for student learning
* Teaching/learning activities
* Strategies to check student understanding

Home language is acquired in a natural way. A child acquired home language by his surroundings. He learn this language by his environment naturally.

Determiners are used to modify a noun. These are used to determine a certain quality or quantity of a noun. Here “Many” is a determiner.

Little is currently known about the causes of learning disabilities. However, some general observations can be made: 

• Some children develop and mature at a slower rate than others in the same age group. As a result, they may not be able to do the expected school work. This kind of learning disability is called “maturational lag.” 
• Some children with normal vision and hearing may misinterpret everyday sights and sounds because of some unexplained disorder of the nervous system. 
• Injuries before birth or in early childhood probably account for some later learning problems. 
• Children born prematurely and children who had medical problems soon after birth sometimes have learning disabilities. 
• Learning disabilities tend to run in families, so some learning disabilities may be inherited. Learning disabilities are more common in boys than girls, possibly because boys tend to mature more slowly. 
• Some learning disabilities appear to be linked to the irregular spelling, pronunciation, and structure of the English language. The incidence of learning disabilities is lower in Spanish or Italian speaking countries. 

Therefore lake of books is not a learning difficulty.

- Statement I is correct because the Cone of Experience, developed by Edgar Dale, suggests that more direct, hands-on experiences are at the bottom of the cone and are more effective for learning. These include real-life experiences and simulations. At the top are more abstract experiences like verbal symbols, which are less effective.
- Statement II is incorrect because the Cone of Experience emphasizes direct, action-based learning over theoretical learning. Thus, the correct choice is A: Statement I is correct.

While teaching the learners in their mother tongue at primary level does not helplful in the intellectual development of the child.It helps them to learn easily so that they can develop self-confidence .Also it helps them in learning in a natural way.

The first step in the teaching methods should always be identification, weak students should be identified by the teacher with the help of certain tricks like achievement test, school marks, personal observation of teacher, etc .

A good English textbook should put emphasis on gradation of the structures. The new vocabulary and structural items must be introduced and taught at any cost.

Silent reading is encouraged because it promotes promotes fluency and accuracy. It helps students in understanding the concepts without worrying about the phonetics of what they are reading. In this way they can pay full attention to the reading. When we read silently, we can easily visualise the concepts which makes memorising things easily.

Teachers can use these categories as a framework for organizing their own effective strategies for managing student problem behaviors:

• The teacher makes eye contact with the student who is misbehaving and develop a close relationship with pupil, develop mutual trust.
• The teacher approaches the off-task student to remind him/her of the specific academic task the student should be doing.
• The teacher proactively provides behavioral reminders just when the student needs to use them.
• The teacher pre-teaches challenging vocabulary to the student prior to a large-group discussion.
• The teacher adjusts the difficulty of the assigned academic work to match the student's abilities ('instructional match').
• The teacher allows the student additional time to complete an academic task.
