Sure, here's an example of how you might answer these questions for this particular module: Question 1 1.1.1 Intelligibility refers to the ability of language to be understood clearly. It implicates not only pronunciation but also grammar and vocabulary. A 'One-size-fits-all' approach, on the other hand, is a uniform solution or method, meaning applying a single method or style to situations despite individual differences and needs. 1.1.2 Intelligibility is crucial when teaching English in a multilingual classroom because it allows communication to occur effectively across different language backgrounds. If a speaker's language is devoid of intelligibility, it may lead to misunderstandings or prevent effective communication. 1.1.3 A one-size-fits-all approach can pose a problem in teaching English in a linguistically and culturally diverse classroom because it doesn't consider the unique circumstances, learning styles, and needs of the students. It doesn't allow for flexibility and adaptation that may need in handling variations in student's backgrounds, abilities, and understanding. This could potentially hinder student's learning and development.
