Question 1
a) In a paragraph of not more than 10 lines, briefly discuss THREE ways
in which literary studies can help promote multicultural awareness
among English FAL learners.
Purposefully translating
The deliberate and simultaneous use of two languages in the same classroom,
also known as translanguaging, has proven to be one of the most effective
methods for teaching and learning bilingualism. The lessons in this collection
set new standards since they were created to give teachers continual access
to and use of students' developing bilingualism. The activities are designed in
a planned and purposeful way to encourage students draw on the most

, appropriate linguistic resources they have, allowing teachers to design
intercultural and inclusive lessons that support English language learning but
also draw on learners first languages and their community and family funds of
knowledge
Funds of knowledge in the classroom
It has long been recognised that one of the key characteristics of high-quality
teaching is the ability of teachers to engage students' prior understandings
and experiences and background knowledge. This prior knowledge is
encoded in their home languages, and therefore it is vital that teachers
facilitate the transfer of both concepts and skills from students' home
languages to English. Multilingual classrooms are a growing phenomenon
around the world, as a result of rapid increases in global mobility and
migration. Within these classrooms, students may have different linguistic and
cultural backgrounds, may speak one language at home and another
language at school, or be learning the language of instruction as an additional
language. International agencies such as UNICEF, UNESCO and the
European Commission contend that multilingual education can play a
significant role in engaging diverse learners. As well as supporting academic
success, classrooms that promote multilingualism can foster positive identities
associated with their home cultures.
b) In your own words, briefly explain what you understand by the
concept of "reading and writing as symbiotic processes" and explain
the implications this has for language teaching.
Reading is predominantly passive, though energy is expended doing it.
Writing is primarily active, requiring the investment of physical and intellectual
effort. The two are related thus: by reading, one acquires knowledge and
wisdom, and a better understanding of aspects of life of which one might not
otherwise be aware. This includes being entertained, or informed, or provoked
into action of some kind. By writing, one is engaged in the opposite:
attempting to entertain, or inform, or provoke into action the reader of one's
words. The two are the opposite sides of one coin of literacy and intelligence
and are, in their separate ways, equally valuable.
They are closely interdependent. One cannot truly live without the other.
There is a connection between what we read and what we write because what
we write is based on our experiences, observations, and the things we have
learned. When we read, we are constantly taking in new information that can
help us improve our writing. In order to write well, it is important to be well-
read so that we can have a strong foundation of knowledge to draw from.
Additionally, the more we read, the better our writing skills will become.
Therefore, reading and writing are interconnected and rely on each other for
proper development. When i hear people saying one time is sufficient it
makes me laugh, they have a very good impression of themselves and have
no idea how limited we are in our capacity to remember what we read. After
you read a book you usually have a false sense that you know everything in
the book but just a few questions from the book quickly reveal that you have
