UGC-NET-English

Let's analyze why the correct answer is 1 (A, B, C) based on the Direct Method of teaching English.

Understanding the Direct Method
The Direct Method of teaching English emphasizes:
✅ No use of the mother tongue (students learn directly in English).
✅ Thinking and expressing in English (without translating from the native language).
✅ Teaching-learning happens entirely in English (full immersion in the target language).

Why not Other Options:

❌ This method is useful in overcrowded classroom situations: The Direct Method requires active interaction between teacher and students, which is difficult in large classrooms.

❌ This method is based on the principle of “Doing by Learning.” : The Direct Method is based on learning by direct association, not “Doing by Learning” (which aligns more with Activity-Based Learning or Constructivism).

Why is the Correct Answer 1 (A, B, C)?
A, B, and C align with the core principles of the Direct Method.
D and E are incorrect, as the Direct Method is not suited for overcrowded classrooms and is not based on "Doing by Learning."
Thus, option 1 (A, B, C) is the correct answer. ✅
