by three different views on language.What are they? What is their main idea of language?

2) Functional view: Language is a linguistic system as well as a means for doing things.Learners learn a language in order to be able to do things with it (use it).To perform functions, learners need to know how to combine the grammatical rules and the vocabulary to expre notions that perform the functions
3) Interactional view: Language is a communicative tool to build up and maintain social relations between people.Learners need to know the rules of a language and where, when and how it is appropriate to use them.

2.The second problem of CLT relate to the design the syllabus for teaching purpose in the
claroom.
3.The third problem is that whether such an approach is suitable for all age level of learners or all competence level of learners.
Constraints of TBLT
The first is it may not be effective for presenting new language items
The second constraint is Time as teachers have to prepare task-based activities very carefully.
The third is the culture of learning
The forth is Level of difficulty

11． What is a leen plan? Why is it important?
A leon plan is a framework of a leon in which teachers make advance decisions about what they hope to achieve and how they would like to achieve it
Proper leon plan is eential for both novice and experienced teachers.Language teachers benefit from leon planning in a number of ways.
1.Makes teachers aware of the aims and language contents of the leon, so as to plan the activities and choose the techniques accordingly;
2.Helps teachers distinguish the various stages of a leon and see the relationship between them so that the activities of different difficulty levels can be arranged properly and the leon can move smoothly from one stage to another;
3.Gives teachers the opportunity to anticipate potential problems so that they can be prepared;
4.4.Gives teachers, esp.novice ones, confidence in cla;
5.Raises teachers‟ awarene of the teaching aids needed;
11.List the principles for good leon planning.
1.Aim: 2.Variety:3.Flexibility 4.Learnability 5.Linkage
12． What is bottom-up model and top-down model? How to apply them to language learning? Bottom-up model Reading follows a linear proce from the recognition of letters to words, to phrases, to sentences, to paragraphs, and then to the meaning of the whole text.2.Top-down model One‟s background knowledge plays a more important role than new words and structures in reading comprehension.Reading is „a psycholinguistic gueing game‟13． List the principles for teaching speaking.
1)Balancing accuracy-based with fluency-based practices 2)Contextualizing practice
3)Personalizing practice 4)Building up confidence 3)Maximizing meaningful interactions
5)Helping develop speaking strategies 6)Making the best use of claroom learning environment to provide sufficient language input and practice for students (159)
14． List the principles and models for teaching reading.
Principles for teaching reading (184) 1.The selected texts and attached tasks should be acceible to the .2.Tasks should be clearly given in advance.3.Tasks should be designed
to encourage selective and intelligent reading for the main meaning rather than ‟ understanding of trivial details.4.Tasks should help develop ‟ reading skills rather than test their reading comprehension.5.The teacher should help develop reading strategies and reading ability in general.6.The teacher should provide enough guidance and aistance at the beginning but gradually withdraw guidance as progre.
Models for teaching reading 1.Bottom-up model 2.Top-down model3.Interactive model
15． What is the communicative approach to writing? What is the proce
approach to writing? Try to comment on them.
Ss are motivated by authentic writing tasks that have some communicative elements.With different audiences and different purposes, the writing piece could vary greatly.Writing activities can be “writing for learning”, “writing for communication” and somewhere between.
The „proce approach‟（过程研究法is defined as \'an approach to the teaching of writing which strees the creativity of the individual writer, and which pays attention to the development of good writing practices rather than the imitation of models\'.
16.What is the simple integration and what is the complex integration?
Simple integration: integration within the same medium (either oral or written), from receptive to productive skills
Complex integration: constructing a series of activities that use a variety of skills
Why integrate the four skills?
When we communicate, we often use more than a single language skill.What skills do we need in our daily communication? Integrating the skills means that we are working at the level of realistic communication, which is the aim of communicative approach and an integral part of eential conditions for language learning.
16． What are the limitations of integrating the skills?
Benefit: help the development of ‟ communicative competence;
Limitations: 1.no separate focus on individual aspects of vocabulary, grammar and skills
2.Integration can be demanding of the teacher.3.The problem of designing suitable materials that take into account ‟ different skill levels.
17． Design a 45-minute teaching plan for any type of leon, such as listening, speaking, reading,
and writing.
