1. Code mixing, often associated with mental sloppiness and poor linguistic
skills, is a monolingual paradigm that can be harmful to language health,
according to Sridhar (1996).

Advantages of code mixing

Code-switching allows for greater privacy in group conversations, as seen in a
scenario where Chinese businesspeople secretly plan a surprise celebration for
French employees by switching to Chinese.
Code-switching enhances children's educational comprehension by encouraging
them to share their knowledge more openly, as they often struggle to express their
understanding due to classroom restrictions.
Switching languages allows individuals to choose appropriate words, but second-
language learners may experience a "lag moment" when switching to their first
language. For example, a French speaker learning English may struggle to find the
right words.
Disadvantages of code mixing
Code-switching can be offensive if done incorrectly, such as when Japanese co-
workers speak in their native tongue, leading to feelings of agreement and suspicion.
Code-switching can lead to fatigue, mental health issues, and cultural labelling as
"acting white," potentially deterring language learning and causing psychological
repercussions.
Code-switching, a common practice in Japanese communication, can lead to
linguistic loss, as individuals may lose fluency and competence in their original
language, potentially disappearing with age.
In conclusion, Code-switching can be a powerful psychological tool when used
correctly, but it may cause language loss or create a divide between multicultural
individuals. The most important aspect of language is our verbal communication
capacity, regardless of the language we speak, as it effectively conveys and
understands a message.

1. Using that passage of “Whu dis the ocean have waves?” , write the Pre-
listenening activities, while-listening activities and post-listening activities
2. Write the advantages and s disadvantages of code mixing.
 Pre-listening activities:
 Activate prior knowledge: Ask students what they already know about waves and the
ocean. Discuss their ideas and misconceptions.
 Vocabulary preview: Introduce and pre-teach key vocabulary related to the topic of
ocean waves. Provide definitions, examples, and visual aids if possible.
 Predictions: Show students the title of the passage, "Why does the ocean have
waves?" and ask them to make predictions about the content of the passage.
Encourage them to share their ideas with a partner or in small groups.

While-listening activities:
 Multiple-choice questions: Prepare a set of multiple-choice questions related to the
passage. Pause at certain points during the listening and ask students to choose the
correct answer. This helps them focus on specific details and comprehension.
 Note-taking: Provide students with a graphic organizer or a template to take notes
while listening. Encourage them to jot down key ideas, important details, and any
questions they may have.
 Pair/group discussions: Divide students into pairs or small groups and ask them to
discuss specific questions or prompts related to the passage. This promotes active
engagement and encourages students to share their thoughts and opinions.

Post-listening activities:
 Comprehension questions: Prepare a set of comprehension questions that require
students to recall information from the passage. This helps assess their
understanding and retention.
 Summarizing: Ask students to summarize the main ideas of the passage in their own
words. This can be done individually, in pairs, or in small groups.
 Extension activities: Engage students in follow-up activities such as writing a short
paragraph about their favorite part of the passage, creating a poster or infographic
about ocean waves, or conducting further research on related topics.

Advantages and disadvantages of

code mixing:
Code mixing refers to the practice of using two or more languages within a single
conversation or communication. Here are the advantages and disadvantages of
code mixing:
Advantages:
 Enhanced communication: Code mixing allows speakers to express themselves
more effectively by using words or phrases from different languages that may better
convey their intended meaning.
 Cultural identity: Code mixing can help individuals maintain and express their cultural
identity by incorporating elements of their native language or heritage into their
speech.
 Inclusive communication: Code mixing can facilitate communication between
individuals who have different language backgrounds, enabling them to understand
and connect with each other.
Disadvantages:
 Misunderstandings: Code mixing can lead to misunderstandings if the speakers do
not share the same language proficiency or if the context is not clear. This can result
in confusion or misinterpretation of the intended message.
 Exclusion: Code mixing may exclude individuals who are not familiar with the
languages being mixed. This can create barriers to effective communication and limit
participation in the conversation.
 Language erosion: Over-reliance on code mixing can potentially lead to a decline in
language proficiency and erosion of linguistic diversity, as speakers may neglect to
develop and use their languages independently.
It is important to note that the advantages and disadvantages of code mixing can
vary depending on the context, the proficiency of the speakers, and the attitudes
towards language diversity in a particular community or setting.

2. Discuss five challenges that language teachers are faced with in the
multicultural classroom and provide solutions for each of the challenges you
have mentioned.

The following are five typical difficulties faced by language teachers in

multicultural classrooms and their remedies.

Ethnicity in multicultural classrooms affects teacher-student communication, with

factors like birthplace, residency, language, and nation influencing impressions.
Understanding ethnicity portrayal is crucial for effective teaching.
Language barriers: Differentiate instruction by providing more assistance to less
proficient students, using visual aids, hand gestures, and real-life examples to
enhance understanding.

Cultural differences. Fostering tolerance and appreciation for diverse cultures can
create an inclusive teaching climate, incorporating multiracial literature and activities
that reflect students' diverse backgrounds.

Different learning styles: To cater to students' diverse learning styles, utilize

diverse teaching strategies and materials, including visual aids, group work, hands-
on activities, and technology-based resources.

Lack of prior knowledge: Conduct pre-assessments to identify students' prior

knowledge on the subject, tailor instruction, and provide scaffolding and additional
resources to fill knowledge gaps.
Managing behaviour: Conduct pre-assessments to identify students' prior
knowledge on the subject, tailor instruction, and provide scaffolding and additional
resources to fill knowledge gaps.

Language teachers can foster an inclusive and supportive learning environment for
all students in multicultural classrooms by addressing challenges and implementing
suggested solutions.

2.1 Provide listening activities for the following, remember to use the passage “Why
does the Ocean have Waves?”

Pre–listening activities

The ocean is never still. Whether observing from the beach or a boat, we expect to see
waves on the horizon. Waves are created by energy passing through water, causing it to
move in a circular motion. However, water does not actually travel in waves. Waves
transmit energy, not water, across the ocean and if not obstructed by anything, they have
the potential to travel across an entire ocean basin.
Waves are most caused by wind. Wind driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the
friction between wind and surface water. As wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a
lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest. These types of waves are found
globally across the open ocean and along the coast.
More potentially hazardous waves can be caused by severe weather, like a hurricane. The
strong winds and pressure from this type of severe storm causes storm surge, a series of
long waves that are created far from shore in deeper water and intensify as they move
closer to land.

Listening activity about Ocean having Waves

1. identify the different types of waves mentioned in the passage
2. how does wind create waves on the surface of the ocean?
3. what is storm surge and how is it caused?
 4. how do waves transmit energy across the ocean?
5. can you explain why water does not actual travel in wane?

Teaching Grade 5 Learners to Write a

Descriptive Text
To teach grade 5 learners to write a well-organized, grammatically correct
descriptive text about their first day at school, you can follow the writing process
steps as a guide. Here's how you can approach it:
1. Pre-writing: Start by discussing the purpose and characteristics of a descriptive text.
Show examples and discuss the importance of organizing ideas and using
descriptive language. Brainstorm ideas about their first day at school as a class.
2. Planning: Help students create an outline or graphic organizer to organize their
ideas. Encourage them to include an introduction, body paragraphs, and a
conclusion. Discuss the importance of using transition words to connect ideas.
3. Drafting: Guide students in writing their first draft. Encourage them to focus on
expressing their ideas and using descriptive language. Remind them to use proper
grammar and punctuation.
4. Revising: Teach students to review and revise their writing. Encourage them to
check for clarity, coherence, and organization. Provide feedback and guide them in
making improvements. Teach them to use peer feedback as well.
5. Editing: Teach students to edit their writing for grammar, spelling, and punctuation
errors. Encourage them to use editing tools like dictionaries or grammar checkers.
Guide them in making necessary corrections.
6. Publishing: Finally, have students create a final copy of their descriptive text.
Encourage them to use neat handwriting or typing skills. Display their work in the
classroom or create a class book.
By following these steps, you can help grade 5 learners develop their writing skills
and produce a well-organized, grammatically correct descriptive text about their first
day at school.

Challenges and Solutions in the

Multicultural Classroom
Language teachers in multicultural classrooms often face various challenges. Here
are five common challenges and their solutions:
1. Language barriers: Students may have different levels of proficiency in the target
language. Solution: Differentiate instruction by providing additional support for
students with lower proficiency levels. Use visual aids, gestures, and real-life
examples to enhance understanding.
2. Cultural differences: Students may come from diverse cultural backgrounds, which
can affect their learning styles and expectations. Solution: Foster a culturally
inclusive classroom environment by promoting respect, understanding, and
appreciation for different cultures. Incorporate multicultural literature and activities
that reflect students' backgrounds.
3. Different learning styles: Students may have different preferred learning styles,
such as visual, auditory, or kinesthetic. Solution: Use a variety of teaching strategies
and materials to cater to different learning styles. Incorporate visual aids, group
work, hands-on activities, and technology-based resources.
4. Lack of prior knowledge: Students may have varying levels of prior knowledge on
the subject matter. Solution: Conduct pre-assessments to identify students' prior
knowledge and tailor instruction accordingly. Provide scaffolding and additional
resources to fill in knowledge gaps.
5. Managing behavior: Students from different cultural backgrounds may have
different expectations regarding classroom behavior. Solution: Establish clear and
consistent classroom rules and expectations. Foster open communication and
address behavioral issues promptly. Encourage students to share their perspectives
and resolve conflicts through dialogue.
By addressing these challenges and implementing the suggested solutions,
language teachers can create an inclusive and supportive learning environment for
all students in the multicultural classroom.

For the first question, the teacher should have done option b. "Allow learners to
make connections with the text." This helps students engage with the text and
activate their prior knowledge.
For the second question, the task of retelling the story from the perspective of the
main character includes language skills a. "Listening and reading." This task requires
students to listen to the story and comprehend it, as well as read and understand the
story from the main character's point of view.
For the third question, the task of describing a photograph includes language skills a.
"Speaking and viewing." Students need to observe the photograph and use their
speaking skills to describe what they see.
For the fourth question, the suitable technique for forming "ABC" associations with
the topic is option b. "Brainstorming technique." This technique allows learners to
generate ideas and associations related to the topic.
For the last question, the statement "Code mixing is when learners switch languages
repeatedly in one sentence" is true. Code mixing refers to the practice of using
multiple languages within a single sentence or conversation.
