Which one of the following is not a principle of teaching English ?


Options:

  1. Principle of linking life
  2. Substitution table method
  3. Habit formation
  4. Gradation

Right Answer: Substitution table method

Principles of teaching English are broad guiding truths that shape every classroom decision. The principle of linking life connects language to the learner's own experience, habit formation stresses repeated meaningful practice until correct usage becomes automatic, and gradation requires that material be arranged from simple to complex and from known to unknown. The substitution table, by contrast, is a classroom device used for drilling sentence patterns; it is a technique or method of teaching rather than a principle. A method answers how to teach, whereas a principle states why. Hence option (2) is correct.
