So you think you know your theories of learning? L&S4

Your affective filter will probably be high if you find the person you are talking to very engaging.

• I think so. No, as a matter of fact, I am certain of it.

• Probably not.

• What's the affective filter?

For the Monitor hypothesis to work, the speaker has to have

• minimal knowledge about the rules of the L, not be concerned with applying them, and have the time to spare.

• knowledge about the rules of the L, be concerned with applying them, and have the time to do so.

• sufficient knowledge about the rules of the L, not be concerned with applying them, but definitely have the time to go over the rules.

Comprehensible input means

• that the teacher is providing input that the students do not comprehend at all.

• that the teacher is providing input that the students minimally comprehend.

• that the teacher is providing input that the students comprehend for the most part, but not entirely.

• that the student does not understand the task at hand because they didn't read the chapter.

According to the Monitor Model, acquiring a language means

• that you were exposed to it at some point.

• you deliberately studied the language in an academic setting.

• that you didn't pick it up like children learning a first L

• that your teacher reprimanded you sufficient times for you to remember it.

We "learn" through attention to

• casual conversations.

• form and rule learning.

According to the Interaction hypothesis,

• modified interaction is necessary for making L comprehensible

• negotiation for meaning is necessary for making L comprehensible

• all of the above

Modified interaction may involve

• linguistic simplification, elaboration, slower speech rate, gestures and context clues.

• linguistic simplification but never a slower speech rate or gestures that will confuse the student.

• linguistic simplification such as attention to the rules of grammar.

Some conversational modifications are

• insufficient for the average language learner

• comprehension checks are sufficient for self-monitoring

• comprehension checks, clarification techniques, and paraphrasing

The ZPD is co-constructed.

• I think so. No, as a matter of fact, I am certain of it.

• Probably not.

• What's the ZPD?

In Krashen's i + 1, the input

• comes from inside the learner.

• comes from outside the learner.

• comes from nowhere near the learner.
