1.1.1 In your own words, explain what you understand about each of these concepts.
In Unit 1 of the module, two key concepts are discussed: Intelligibility and the one-size-
fits-all approach.
1. Intelligibility:
- Intelligibility refers to how understandable or clear speech is to the listener.
- It is crucial in language teaching as it ensures that students can comprehend the
language being used.
- For example, if a teacher speaks too fast or mumbles, it may affect the intelligibility of
their speech for the students.
- Improving intelligibility can involve focusing on pronunciation, clarity, and pacing of
speech to make it easier for students to understand.
2. One-size-fits-all approach:
- This approach suggests that a single method or strategy is applied universally to all
students without considering individual differences.
- In teaching, it can be problematic as students have diverse learning styles, needs, and
abilities.
- Using a one-size-fits-all approach may lead to some students feeling left behind or not
challenged enough.
- Instead, teachers should adopt a more personalized approach, considering each
student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning preferences to enhance their learning
experience.
