Correct Answer - Option 1 : Only II
A storybook is a teaching material meant for students so that they can read a story by themselves or listen by their parents or teacher.
- Cultural information that is presented through the storybooks includes historical perspective i.e., that really lived or happened; connected with real people or events in the past.
- It also includes personal expression and identity in a mixed social context, which can include differences in origin and gender as well as socio-economic, religious or special educational needs (SEN).
- But, behavioural is more personalized in nature and focus on individuals instead of associating those individuals with social context. Even NCF 2005 favours social constructivist approach in following syllabus rather behaviouristic approach.
- Other aspects that storybooks include are creative, authentic unadapted texts from all over the world, with their embedded linguistic and aesthetic cultural identity, to the heart of the language classroom.
- It is also a communicative language method where children are encouraged to use the language from the story either in role-play form or games.
Hence, it can be concluded that 'historical' is one of the categories that is included in cultural information that is presented through the storybooks
