Hello everyone,
How did your trainees find Paper IX and
X...?
Well Paper X , I gathered was quite easy. Did you notice a
failure to provide proper weightage to all the units in the syllabus of Modern
Instructional Strategies -Paper IX? For
instance, the 16 Mark questions ( No. 2 &
No. 3) appears to have the same
answer:
Q. # 2. Is Constructivist approach
feasible to our students? What are the
relative significance over the traditional approaches to teaching of English?
Q.# 3. What are the recent trends in the
teaching of second language in our high school? Justify the merits with
reference to our high school syllabus.
And did
you notice that the 6 mark question (No. 13) does not fit into any Unit
in the prescribed syllabus...
Q. # 13 Sketch the various techniques to
introduce ‘Semantic Structure’ of the language.
Most trainees whom I met were not
particularly happy with the questions asked in Paper IX.
What about your students?
Do share your
views regarding the questions.
