Solution

The practical use of language, which includes adjusting communication according to one\'s audience and the context in which it occurs, is called Pragmatics. It is the branch of linguistics which is concerned mainly with the aspects of meaning and language use dependent on the speaker and its audience or the addressee. On the other hand, Semantics stand for the study of meaning in the language, changes in meaning , everything that relates the meaning of the language while Grammar includes the whole system and structure of the language. It is that part of the study of language that forms the base of the sentence to incur its true meaning. Lastly, Proxemics stand for the non verbal communication mainly which includes the study of human use of space and the effects the population has on a particular behaviour, social interaction and communication.

2. Child centered programs stress children\'s development and growth through play because it covers two dimensions of growth of child, physically and mentally. While, strict direction will pose child into fear and stress. Read to learn will only help child grow mentally not physically and academics will do the same with ample amount of competetion and stress.
