What are the characteristics of situational approach
The new word is incidentally introduced in the class by the teacher by creating some situation.
- The teacher makes best the possible efforts to provide ample opportunities for the students to co-relate the meaning of new words with the situation created.
- Aids, materials whatever possible are used to create situations.
- Repetition is stressed.
- A lesson is planned full of examples to make its understanding easier.
- The teacher puts a large number of relevant questions about the created situation, either helping students to answer or himself answering them.
- Revision is done again and again.
- Action chains are followed continuously.
- Teacher actually performs in the situation created by him and is fully involved in delivering his lesson.
- The students are actively involved in real-life situations, which thereby facilitates the learning procedure.
