TEFL Unit 1 Test Questions with 100%
Correct Answers 2025/2026
Suggestopedia - ANSWERSThe 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.
Communicative Approach - ANSWERSThe teacher works hard to ensure that as many activities
as possible focus on interaction in the classroom, with this interaction being both the means
and the goal of learning the language. Activities used will include role play, interviews, games,
activities, and pair work. The ability to interact in the new language is the key to all that is done
in the classroom with a focus on meaningful functional language.
Grammar-Translation Method - ANSWERSThe teacher focuses most of their attention on
grammatical points, often explaining rules in depth and in the learner's 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.
Eclectic Method - ANSWERSThe teacher varies the techniques and approaches they use in the
classroom based on what they believe works best for different items they are teaching and the
students in the class. Some activities may focus on grammatical accuracy, others on fluency, and
others on tasks and projects.
Natural Approach - ANSWERSAttempts to mirror the processes of learning a first language --
there is a focus on communication rather than explicit grammar teaching. The student is not
forced to speak until they are ready and there is little error correction to reduce stress.
Direct Method - ANSWERSA method of teaching where is it 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.
