Ivon Module 4 Culminating Task

What is the stage of language acquisition characterized by minimal verbal communication and limited vocabulary?

• Early Production

• Speech Emergence

• Preproduction

• Intermediate Fluency

In this stage, students are able to communicate in a near native proficiency in speaking and writing.

• Early Production

• Speech Emergence

• Preproduction

• Advanced Fluency

During the pre-production stage, what type of responses are encouraged to support understanding?

• Long sentences

• One-word responses

• Silence

• None of the above

How does instructional scaffolding work?

• It lowers the level of tasks for students

• • It provides support until students are ready to work independently

• It removes all support immediately

• It increases the complexity of tasks for students

How can visuals and hands-on items support content learning during instruction?

• They provide context for learning

• They are unnecessary during instruction

• They distract students from learning

• • They make learning more difficult

According to Schumann (OptiLingo, 2024), what does the "Size Factor" indicate about language-learning groups?

• The size of the group has no impact on language acquisition

• Smaller groups tend to group together, reducing language acquisition

• Larger groups lead to greater language acquisition

• The larger the group, the greater the chance of language acquisition

According to Schumann (OptiLingo, 2024), what is the significance of "Cultural Congruence" in language-learning?

• • The more similar two groups are, the greater the chance of repeat contact between them

• The more similar two groups are, the lesser the chance of repeat contact between them

• The larger the group of similar language speakers, the less likely language-learning is to occur

• It refers to the desire to integrate or resist the new language

According to Krashen's 5 theories on language acquisition (OptiLingo, 2024), what is the priority in language learning?

• Writing

• Speaking

• Listening

• None of the above

What does Krashen's 5 theories on language acquisition (OptiLingo, 2024) suggest about the learning of grammar structures?

• Learners must master complex syntax before acquiring basic language skills

• Learners can skip learning basic grammar and focus on complex structures

• Grammar must be explicitly taught to learners

• Understanding of grammar structures happens naturally

  What strategy is recommended during the early production stage to support language development?

• Engage in debates

• Model correct grammar

• Offer opportunities for writing essays

• Encourage short, one-word responses
