Solution.

CBSE answer: (4)

Answer: (4) Identifying learner's communicative needs.

  1. In a learner-centred view, teaching begins with the learner.
  2. The teacher first finds out what the learners need to do with the language, and then plans tasks and materials to meet those needs.
  3. Selecting content and instructing follow from this.

Trap: (3) 'instructing' makes the teacher a transmitter of knowledge, not a facilitator.
