A teacher is planning a unit on Climate Change for a high school English class. He believes that integrating communicative skills (listening, reading, speaking, and writing) rather than focusing on isolated, correctness-driven linguistic tasks can be far more effective.


The approach that correctly illustrates this view is


A

providing a list of 20 environment-related verbs and requiring students to conjugate them into the future perfect tense through dynamic drills, assuming that once the grammar is perfected, communicative fluency will automatically emerge.


B

implementing a task-based project where students watch a short documentary, read conflicting opinion pieces, and then work in groups to draft a sustainability plan to present to the class, reflecting how these skills work simultaneously in real-life situations.


C

focusing on individual reading and writing exercises, since these are easier to organize and keep a large class quiet, even though this leaves the students’ actual amount of understanding under question.


D

presenting the four skills in a strict, linear sequence, starting with 10 hours of listening before any speaking is allowed, to ensure that the built-in syllabus of every student is addressed identically without the confusion of integrated tasks.


E

using automated speech recognition technology as the sole instructional tool, requiring students to repeat a set of phrases until they achieve a native-speaker accent, as technology-mediated task-based language teaching renders human interactional activities obsolete.
