Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Comfortable environments to develop requisite skills

The second language classroom is a confluence of varied languages. Teachers should give their students comfortable environments to develop requisite skills. In Krashen’s words, children require ‘comprehensible input’ in the second language. ‘Comprehensible input’ refers to using language which children are capable of understanding, and at the same time holds challenges for them.

  • An important part of making this language comprehensible is providing it in natural, communicative situations that are meaningful to children, and this will help children in meeting the challenge. For example, if children in your class know some words in English, then ‘comprehensible input’ might mean using these words in sentences that are meaningful for them.
  • ‘Comprehensible input’ and a ‘natural and communication friendly environment’ play an important role in acquiring a second language.
  • In the second language, the teacher should provide a comfortable environment so that students can express themselves and learn the requisite skills such as listening, speaking, reading, and writing holistically.
  • Adequate self-explanatory notes, summaries, and simplified versions of texts and Worksheets with a variety of tasks while covering the syllabus focused on writing and reading skills only in a fragmented manner. As the second language classroom is a confluence of varied languages, these do not help students to relate and express themselves.
  • In the second language classroom, learning from authentic material and resources is a must.

Hence, we can conclude that The second language classroom is a confluence of varied languages. Teachers should give their students Comfortable environments to develop requisite skills.
