In a language classroom if a teacher is merely pointing out the similarities and differences between common and proper nouns, his/her teaching is at what level ?
Understanding level
Explaining similarities and differences develops understanding of concepts and their relationships. It goes beyond recalling noun definitions, but the described activity does not require the independent problem-solving and hypothesis testing associated with reflective-level teaching. Hence the understanding level is the best match.
