- 26. - An approach to teaching new language. The teacher asks learners to do a task to see how well they know a certain piece of language. The teacher then presents the language which is new for the learners. Finally the teacher asks the learners to do another task using the new language correctly.
- 27. - In a _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ drill the teacher provides a sentence and a different word or phrase which the learner(s) must use (or substitute) in exactly the same structure, e.g.

- 1. - Listening, speaking, reading and writing
- 2. - A word which sounds the same as another word, but has a different meaning and may have a different spelling, e.g. I knew he had won; I bought a new book.
- 6. - A particular way or a system for doing something. When teaching a language, there are different ways or systems teachers can use, each based on a belief or a theory about the best way to learn a language.
- 7. - This type of test is used to see how well learners have learned the language and skills taught in class.
- 8. - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ assessment is a type of assessment aimed at finding out what language and skills weaknesses or strengths learners have. Teachers use this information to inform their future lesson planning. See teacher roles.
- 9. - A learner who remembers things more easily when they hear them spoken. This type of learner may like the teacher to say a new word aloud and not just write it on the board.
- 10. - A learner who learns more easily by doing things physically. This type of learner may like to move around or move objects while learning.
- 12. - A letter or group of letters added at the end of a word to make a new word, e.g. good - goodness.

Teachers using this approach plan lessons which focus on lexical units or chunks such as words, multi-word units, collocations and fixed expressions rather than grammatical structures.
- 22. – To tell someone how well they are doing. After a test, or at a certain point in the course, teachers might give learners _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ on how well they are doing.
