English is taught as a second language and as a foreign language. For English teachers, it is essential to teach in such a manner that desired goals can be achieved. Therefore, a sound knowledge of the principles of teaching the English language is needed.

 Language teaching:  It is the process whereby a child gains communicative comprehension or fluency over a language. It involves practice by learners where facilitation is provided by a teacher. 

There are  Principles of Language Teaching which help to achieve the desired goals of Language Teaching.

• A language function refers to what students do with language as they engage with content and interact with others. 
• Here, the teacher relates language function with politeness and corrects the students by telling them the correct way of responding to the teacher or elder.
• Here politeness in the teacher can be seen from the substance of cooperative principles in the form of language function.
• The cooperative principle is a principle of conversation that will be helpful for the flexibility and accuracy of language communication.
• The teacher is using conversation as a medium to bring flexibility and fluency in the use of language by students i..e., by politely talking to them, making them hear new words, pronunciation, way of speaking, etc.

Questioning Skills: Questions are an aid in the learning process and hence questioning skills is one of the important teaching skills required to be developed to conduct a classroom session successfully by a teacher. The use of questioning helps the teacher become flexible and responsive to students. Questioning helps promote a student-centered learning environment while maintaining teacher-led instruction. 

• Rhetorical Questions: A rhetorical question is one for which the questioner does not expect a direct answer in many cases, it may be intended to start a discourse or as a means of putting across the speaker's or author's opinion on a topic.
  • A common example is a question "Can't you do anything right? It's a question asked not for the answer, but the effect. Oftentimes, a rhetorical question is used to emphasize a point or just to get the audience thinking.
  • For example, "You ask, what my government has done for you? I can answer in two words: A lot !"
• Prompting Questions: Prompting questions to consist of a series of questions that help the student develop the correct answer. The teacher should begin prompting the student from what he/she knows and then proceed towards the standard response. Prompts can thus help your pupil to arrive at the correct response using a systematic and step-by-step questioning process.
• Explanatory Questions: In explanatory questions, the students are asked to explain the relationship between two or more facts, concepts, values, and generalizations. In explanation, the cause and effect relationship is represented in the form of a description or numerical expression.
  • For example, What is the central idea of the poem?
  • How can you prove that blood is purified in the heart?
• Style Questions: The question should be put using a style suitable for questioning and in a declaration style that is used for statements. The question should be asked in a properly modulated and pleasant tone and friendly manner.  

Hence, we can conclude that the question put in the above statement is a rhetorical question.

The request is defined as the act of asking for something or something you asked for. An example of a request is the song someone asked a band to play.

•  Modal verbs are helping/auxiliary verbs that express ideas like ability, permission, and asking for assistance. Many modal verbs have more than one meaning.
  • They are always followed by the simple form of a verb.
  • For example: Could you help me for a minute, please?
• "Could" have the same meaning as may when making requests. It is equally polite to say “Could I leave early?” or “May I leave early?”
  • Could is the past tense of "can" and is more polite and it is used with any subject to ask for permission.
  • For example “Could I open the window?” or “Could you open the window?” are both grammatical.
• Here, from the four options, the more polite form is Could you let me take the book now? It makes a request in a polite manner.

Thus, it is concluded that Your classmate has just finished reading a book from the library that you wanted and you want him/her to give it to you. Could you let me take the book now? is the most appropriate request.

To create a balanced assessment approach in teaching-learning, different types of assessment strategies should be incorporated. Assessment can be of three types- assessment for learning (formative assessment), assessment of learning (summative assessment), and assessment as learning (authentic assessment).

Assessment for Learning (Formative Assessment):

• It is also referred to as internal evaluation.
• In this form of assessment, a teacher embeds various forms of assessment all through the teaching and learning process. Therefore, it is an ongoing assessment that allows teachers to monitor students on a day-to-day basis and modify their teaching based on what the students need to be successful.
• Formative assessment refers to a wide variety of methods that teachers use to conduct in-process evaluations of student comprehension, learning needs, and academic progress during a lesson, unit, or course.
• Effective formative assessment strategies involve asking students to answer well-thought-out, higher-order questions such as “why” and “how.”
• This assessment provides students with timely and specific feedback that they need to make adjustments to their learning.
• For students, it identifies learning errors that need to be corrected and for teachers, it provides information for modifying instructions.
• It helps the student to actively and continuously engage in learning in a non-threatening and supportive environment.
• Questionnaires, quizzes, oral discussions, unit tests are some tools used for formative evaluation. 
• It provides continuous feedback to both students and teachers regarding learning successes and failures.

Thus it is clear that feedback is part of the teaching process.

Laws differ from country to country. Though the outward pattern of the legal system to be same every where the content of laws often differ significantly.
