Q1. Which methodology had its origins in the Second World War?

The Audiolingual Method

During the 1940’s, when America became involved in World War II, the U.S. government through the universities developed what became known as the Audio-Lingual method. It had become necessary for military personnel to become fluent in languages, particularly to work in the field of translation and interpreting.
Q2. Who developed the methodology known as the 'Natural Approach’?
Steven Krashen

Q3. Which methodology is holistic in its approach?

The humanistic approach

Language is viewed holistically as a whole that cannot be meaningfully divided for educational purposes. In contrast, an atomistic view of language seeks to dissect it into constituent pieces, such as grammatical structure and functional exponents, which can then be the subject of a curriculum. A comprehensive strategy would concentrate on all the information a student requires to communicate effectively.

Q1.1 This is an essay of no less than 250 words.


Discuss the extent of the Anglophone world. You must include the following information:
- countries in which English is a first or native language

- countries in which English holds legal status as the primary language

- countries in which English holds legal status as a secondary language

- countries and regions in which English is widely spoken as a business language

- regions and international bodies in which English is upheld as a recognised language

English is used all around the world, as is common knowledge. Year after year, the Anglophone world expands. English speakers are referred to as Anglophones, and nations that have a large English-speaking population are referred to as being in the Anglosphere. English was the most widely spoken language and the third most spoken language by native speakers as of the 2000s, with over 2 billion speakers worldwide. I'll now go into language expansion in more detail. In reality, there are five main countries where English is the first language. These include New Zealand, Australia, the UK, Canada, and the USA. Several countries also have English as a primary or secondary language.
In certain places, it is also lawful. There are several of these kinds of countries. Examples include Singapore, Cameroon, Belize, India, and other locations. The reason for this is because English is still regarded as the official language in those countries since the British Empire long owned and still does so. There are several factors involved in the language's expansion. But there is still another important component that influences English growth. As some nations select it to strengthen their economy, many firms also employ English as their principal business language. All areas of development were dominated by English-speaking countries. It increases communication options. The reasons for the expansion of the English language may include the aforementioned instances. It is reportedly utilized by 565 million internet users. By the turn of the millennium, English had overtaken all other languages as the one that was most often spoken and written.
