Which among the following does not come under meaning based activities ?

Meaning based activity is an approach to language learning which emphasizes making language learning meaningful by connecting it to concrete things and with the immediate environment of the learners so that they could connect with the content easily and effectively.

Key Points

Meaning based activities include:

• Interacting with the text - It could be done through language game that is a system of manipulating spoken words to render them incomprehensible to the untrained ear. It encourages students to interact and communicate in a meaningful context.

• Using the previous knowledge - Previous knowledge is the pre-existing knowledge that learners already have before meeting new information. It influences the way they interpret and organize incoming information.

• Reading and narrating the text to peers - Reading and then narrating the text will engage learners with language and ensure better learning. It will increase children's language skills, vocabulary, and imagination power.

Additional InformationOther Meaning based activities:

• Solving tasks related to real-world experience.

• Relating personal relationship with literacy topic.

• Connecting ideas and experiences with language.

Hence, we conclude that reading out every word aloud and translating it does not come under meaning-based activities.
