CTET Level -1 (16 June 2024)

Question 1:

Noam Chomsky's reference to “deep structures” means a

• universal grammar underlying all languages and corresponding to an innate capacity of the human brain.

• transformational grammar that has led in turn to increased interest in comparative linguistics

• a trend that English is the most common auxiliary language in the world

• hidden set of grammatical rules learnt through intensive study.

Question 2:

Curriculum development follows the following sequence

• Formulation of objectives, assessment of needs, evaluation selection of texts/learning experiences

• Formulation of objectives, assessment of needs, selection of texts/learning experiences, evaluation

• Assessment of needs, formulation of objectives, selection of texts/learning experiences evaluatuion.

• Selection of texts/learning experiences, assessment of needs, formulation of objectives, evaluation

Question 3:

In Computer Audio Instruction [CAI], the 'simulation mode' is where learners

• a series of exercises with repetition practice.

• experience real life systems and phenomena.

• receive bits of information followed by questions with immediate feedback

• get problems which are solved by a process of trial and error

Question 4:

For evaluating a poster designed as a part of a competition, which of the following criteria would be the most appropriate for the judges?

• Relevant content, style and word limit

• Creativity, relevant content and visual appeal

• Use of quotations, style and visual appeal

• Creativity, fonts and visual appeal

Question 5:

Providing learning support to pupils who lag far behind their counterparts in school performance includes -

• initially adapting school curricula and teaching strategies

• providing extra notes and coaching

• giving more activities for language practice

• allowing them to complete assignments without time limits

Question 6:

Identify the false assumption.

Language course-books prescribed for students should provide

• balanced presentation of information

• suggested sequence of teaching procedures

• detailed lesson-plans for teachers

• organized units of learning experiences

Question 7:

The teacher's role is shifting from "sage on the stage" to "guide on the side". Technology integration helps this process when

• easy retrieval of large quantities of stored data is used to facilitate preparation of notes

• systems store more data and administer tests individually to students

• students actively search for and explore I answers instead of receiving standard inputs

• assessment of students' online inputs is done quickly without supervision, at any time

Question 8:

Grammar gains its prominence in language teaching particularly in English as a foreign language. Accuracy in language use can be achieved through

• intensive practice with sentence patterns

• reading more books written in the target language

• grammar is taught as the basis for all four language skills

• integrating knowledge of structures with use and meaning

Question 9:

Second language acquisition is more effective when it

• is practiced in situations familiar to students

• involves periodic revision work by the teacher and students

• is used as the basis for discussing grammatical concepts

• involves mostly self-study by students, using certain guidelines

Question 10:

Mrs. Sinha asks prediction questions as she reads aloud a story to her class III students. She does this to

• focus on comprehension.

• improve students vocabulary.

• make the story interesting.

• help students remember important details in the story.
