Q1. The Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach primarily focuses on which of the following?
  • A.  Perfect grammatical accuracy and rule memorisation.
  • B.  The ability to communicate meaning effectively in real-life contexts.
  • C.  Translating literary texts between the learner's L1 and L2.
  • D.  Repetitive drilling of sentence patterns to form habits.

Q2. Which of the following is the strongest and most natural-sounding English collocation?
  • A.  Do a mistake
  • B.  Heavy rain
  • C.  Strong coffee
  • D.  Tall traffic

A collocation is a natural combination of words. While 'strong coffee' is also a collocation, 'heavy rain' is a classic, powerful example often used in teaching this concept.

  • A.  Students submitting a final essay for grading with a focus on grammatical accuracy.
  • B.  Students copying a model text to practice sentence structure.
  • C.  Students brainstorming, drafting, receiving peer feedback, and redrafting an article.
  • D.  Students completing a gap-fill exercise based on a written text.
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C. Students brainstorming, drafting, receiving peer feedback, and redrafting an article.
The process approach emphasizes the recursive stages of writing (planning, drafting, revising) rather than just the final text.
