Which statement is not correct in the context of language teaching?

Language teaching refers to the practice of instructing a language to students, utilizing approaches and methodologies that facilitate learning.

Key Points

• Print-rich environment helps in acquiring language: Print-rich environments, filled with written words like books, posters, labels, expose learners to language, promoting reading, writing skills, and vocabulary.
• Difference between language acquisition and learning: Acquisition is a natural, subconscious process like how children learn their mother tongue. Learning refers to formal instruction and study of language rules.
• Teaching other subjects aids language learning: Language is integral to all subjects. Teaching various subjects exposes students to vocabulary and linguistic structures, enhancing their language proficiency.

Hint

• In language teaching, there is more emphasis on correctness of spelling - this statement is not necessarily correct.
• While spelling is important in language teaching, it's not the primary focus.
• The emphasis in modern language teaching leans towards communication skills, understanding, and usage rather than rote learning and just correctness of spelling.

Hence, 'in language teaching, there is more emphasis on correctness of spelling' is not correct in the context of language teaching.
