Option 2 : Types of networking

Language education refers to a process whereby a child gains communicative comprehension or fluency over a language. It involves practice by learners where facilitation is provided by a teacher.

The concepts of language education are:

Grammar translation method:

  • The grammar-translation method was not based on any theory of language teaching, but its roots can be traced to the way classical languages such as Latin and Greek were taught. It was a way of learning a language through a detailed study of its grammar.
  • The learner then applied the rules of grammar in translating sentences and parts of text from the mother tongue into the target language and vice versa. A distinctive feature of this method was its focus on translating the sentence correctly.

Contrastive Analysis: 

  • Contrastive analysis not only claimed to offer a complete explanation of the causes of the learner's faults in terms of interference and transfer of features of Ll into the second language, but it also claimed to be able to predict the errors that the learner would be most likely to make, in terms of the dissimilarities between the two languages in question.
  • In short, if we know the structure of the learner's first language and the structure of the second language being learned, we would know beforehand exactly where the learners would face learning problems.

Form and Function:

  • Language is a complex phenomenon with multiple functions. Various linguists have tried to understand and elucidate the functions of language. The language function is primarily used to convey information.
  •  There has been a considerable emphasis on language form in teaching English as a second language. For example, when you learn interrogative sentences you are told that there should be a subject-verb inversion in making questions. 

Hint

  • A Computer network includes the network operating system in the client and server machines, the cables, which connect different computers and all supporting hardware in between such as bridges, routers, and switches. According to size networks are classified as LAN (Local Area Network), MAN (Metropolitan Area Network), WAN (Wide Area Network) and Personal Area Network (PAN).

Hence from the above points, we can conclude that types of networking is not a concept of language education.
