Question must be answered based on the following text.


The term methods, as currently used in the literature on second and foreign language (L2) teaching, does not refer to what teachers actually do in the classroom; rather, it refers to established methods conceptualized and constructed by experts in the field. The exact number of methods that are commonly used is unclear. A book published in the mid sixties, for instance, provides a list of fifteen “most common” types of methods “still in use in one form or another in various parts of the world” (Mackey, 1965, p. 151). Two books published in the mid eighties (Larsen-Freeman, 1986; and Richards and Rodgers, 1986)—which have longoccupied the top two ranks among the books prescribed for methods classes in the United States—provide, between them, a list of eleven methods that are currently used. They are (in alphabetical order): Audiolingual Method, Communicative Methods, Community Language Learning, Direct Method, Grammar-Translation Method, Natural Approach, Oral Approach, Silent Way, Situational Language Teaching, Suggestopedia, and Total Physical Response.


It would be wrong to assume that these eleven methods provide eleven different paths to language teaching. In fact, there is considerable overlap in their theoretical as well as practical approaches to L2 learning and teaching. Sometimes, as Wilga Rivers (1991, p. 283) rightly points out, what appears to be a radically new method is more often than not a variant of existing methods presented with “the fresh paint of a new terminology that camouflages their fundamental similarity.” It is therefore useful, for the purpose of analysis and understanding, to cluster these methods in terms of certain identifiable common features. One way of doing that is to classify them as (a) language-centered methods, (b) learner-centered methods, and (c) learning-centered methods.

Question must be answered based on the following passage.


As fashions in language teaching come and go, the teacher in the classroom needs reassurance that there is some bedrock beneath the shifting sands. Once solidly founded on the bedrock, like the sea anemone, the teacher can sway to the rhythms of any tides or currents, without the trauma of being swept away purposelessly.


Adapted from: Rivers, Wilga M. Communicating Naturally in a Second Language: Theory and Practice. Cambridge University Press, 1992. p. 373.

Question must be answered based on the following text.



In this passage from Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland, by Lewis Carrol, Alice meets the Cheshire Cat and asks for directions.



"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?" Alice asked.


"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to”, said the Cat.


"I don’t much care where—" said Alice.


"Then it doesn’t matter which way you go", said the Cat.


—so long as I get somewhere", Alice added as an explanation.


"Oh, you’re sure to do that," said the Cat, "if you only walk long enough".

Question must be answered based on the following text.


Read the lines of Bon Jovi’s Misunderstood.


Should I… could I have said the wrong things right a thousand times?

If I could just rewind, I see it in my mind

If I could turn back time, you’d still be mine


You cried, I died

I should have shut my mouth, things headed south

As the words slipped off my tongue, they sounded dumb

If this old heart could talk, it’d say you’re the one

I’m wasting time

When I think about it


I should have drove all night

Would have run all the lights, I was misunderstood

I stumbled like my words

Did the best I could, damn

Misunderstood


Could I… should I apologize for sleeping on the couch that night?

Staying out too late with all my friends

You found me passed out in the yard again


You cried, I tried

To stretch the truth, but didn’t lie

It’s not so bad

You think about it
