Mr. Nieves is an ESL teacher who incorporates the following instructional techniques into his lessons. 1. Initial activities focus on listening comprehension. 2. Students demonstrate their comprehension by acting out commands issued by the teacher. 3. Activities are designed to be fun and allow students to assume active learning roles. Which of the following approaches to language teaching is Mr. Nieves most likely applying in his class?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Mr. Nieves employs techniques that align closely with Total Physical Response (TPR), where students physically act out commands, enhancing their comprehension through movement. This method emphasizes listening and responding, which is evident in his focus on listening comprehension and active participation.
Option A, the Communicative Approach, prioritizes interaction and real-life communication but does not specifically involve physical responses.
Option B, the Audiolingual Method, emphasizes repetition and drills rather than physical actions.
Option D, Community Language Learning, centers on group dynamics and emotional support, lacking the physical engagement characteristic of TPR.
