Q115

Seating arrangement in a classroom should be flexible. This is because

  1. (1) it would prevent children from forming permanent friendship groups
  2. (2) it would help conduct many group, pair and whole-class activities very easilyCorrect answer
  3. (3) it would give the children freedom to move their seats wherever and whenever they want
  4. (4) it would help the teacher ensure equality in her classroom

Solution.

CBSE answer: (2)

Answer: (2) it would help conduct many group, pair and whole-class activities very easily

  1. A language class needs pair work, group work and whole-class discussion.
  2. Flexible seating lets the teacher rearrange children quickly for each kind of activity.
  3. This supports interaction, which is how language develops.

Trap: (3) Flexibility is the teacher's tool for planned activities, not freedom to move anywhere at any time.
