TEFL METHODOLOGY COURSE
EXAMINATION SET 2026 SOLVED
QUESTIONS GRADED A+
● The Direct Method. Answer: A method of teaching where it is
important that L1 is never used, grammar is taught inductively, concrete
vocabulary is introduced through demonstration, mime and pictures and
abstract vocabulary is introduced through association of ideas. Used by
Berlitz language schools.
● The Total Physical Response. Answer: The teacher asks their students
to stand, sit, dance, run, clap and shout - which they do. The class then
play a game of Simon Says, taking it in turns to lead the activity. Used
primarily with young learners.
● The Grammar Translation Method. Answer: The teacher focuses most
of their attention on grammatical points, often explaining rules in depth
and in the learners' L1 if possible. Learners begin by reading and writing
with the teacher, ensuring that mistakes are not made in the structure of
the language produced, at the expense of fluency and verbal
communication.
● Suggestopedia. Answer: The teacher asks the students to sit on
beanbags on the floor and to listen to gentle classical music. The teacher
then reads a text while the students listen and relax.
