On wining a trophy in Regional Sports Meet, the teacher is applauding the school cricket team caption by using an idiomatic sentence, €œMy boys you have added feather to your cap by this glorious victory.€ Using this statement the teacher is applying which of the following principles of teaching English as a Second language?

A.
Principle of direct association
B.
Principle of vocabulary control
C.
Principle of contextualization
D.
Principle of coordination

Solution:

Language teaching is less about the school and more about the process of learning English. The modern approach to language learning and teaching is the scientific one and is based on sound linguistic principles.Contextual learning refers to relating subject matter with meaningful situations that are appropriate to the childs level. When learning happens within contexts, it promotes active participation and longer retention.Principle of contextualization:Here, the teacher is applying the principle of contextualization as this principle develops students' English language proficiency from their own context or in the context of their studies, not as a remedial add-on.When learning happens within purposeful situations children perceive knowledge embedded within their contexts. In this situation, Schools no longer seem to be boring and detached. At times teachers even use metaphors and analogies to relate the childs own experiences with the formal learning of the school. Any such pedagogic strategy is an effort to contextualize learning and attaches meaning to abstract concepts.Hence, it is clear that by using the above-mentioned statement, the teacher is applying the principle of contextualization.Additional InformationPrinciple of vocabulary control: Vocabulary should be kept under control. Vocabulary should be taught and practiced only in the context of real situations. This way, meaning will be clarified and reinforced.
