The bilingual method of teaching English language was developed by :


Options:

  1. C. J. Dodson
  2. Dr. West
  3. John Sears
  4. C. L. Watson

Right Answer: C. J. Dodson

The bilingual method was developed by the Welsh scholar C. J. Dodson in the 1960s. It gives the mother tongue a controlled and carefully limited place in the language classroom: the teacher supplies mother-tongue equivalents of sentences while the learners repeat only the target-language forms, so that comprehension is instant and no time is wasted on elaborate demonstration. Meaning is conveyed once through translation and afterwards the mother tongue is progressively withdrawn. The method thus stands between the direct method, which excludes the first language, and the grammar-translation method, which relies on it heavily.
