Section A: Content-based questions Question 1 1.1 In Unit 1 of this module, you are introduced to a number of key concepts that you need to understand in order to be an effective teacher of English as a home language. Reread the Unit and do the following regarding the concepts listed below: Intelligibility; one-size-fits-all-approach 1.1.1 In your own words, explain what you understand about each of these concepts. (4 marks) 1.1.2 Why is intelligibility important when teaching English in a multilingual classroom? (3 marks) 1.1.3 Why is a one-size-fits-all approach a problem when teaching English in a linguistically and culturally diverse classroom? (3 marks) [10 marks]
Based on the instructions you've provided, here are suggested answers for each question: 1.1.1: i) Intelligibility: This is the degree to which speech is understood by the listener. In the context of language teaching, it means the clarity of the teacher's language, pronunciation, grammar usage, and vocabulary which are necessary for a student to understand the subject matter. ii) One-size-fits-all approach: This refers to using a single method or strategy to teach all students, regardless of their unique individual needs or learning styles. While this approach may ease planning and implementation for a teacher, it might not cater to the diversity of learners in a classroom, particularly in South Africa with its multilingual and multicultural society. 1.1.2: Intelligibility is important when teaching English in a multilingual classroom because communication is fundamental to the learning process. If students cannot understand what is being taught, due to differing accents, dialects, or language proficiency levels, their learning will be negatively impacted. 1.1.3: A one-size-fits-all approach can be a problem when teaching English in a linguistically and culturally diverse classroom because not all students have the same learning needs or pace. This approach assumes that all students learn in the same way, which disregards individual talents, strengths, and weaknesses. It may prevent some students from flourishing and reaching their full academic potential. I hope this helps! Please make sure to revise these answers and adapt them to your understanding of the concepts. Your teacher might have specific points they want you to focus on.
