Ans.

Topical approach : In topical approach certain topics of study make up the whole syllabus. These are suitable for the age, ability and interest of children. Each topic stands by itself. All the topics are connected together by the teacher with the help of individual lessons called 'link' lessons. This approach is quite worthwhile for the students of the age group 13 + and above.

In the topical approach, the curriculum includes particular topics as the central theme of work in English at different levels of instruction. The nature of these topics varies in accordance with the age, ability and interests of the students. In the primary classes, the students study the developments of concrete and familiar things. In the middle classes they are introduced to more difficult topics. These topics supply the central theme from which subsidiary investigations can radiate according to the student's time and intelligence.
