What is the primary characteristic of language acquisition?

• It is an implicit process.

• It relies on explicit instruction.

• It focuses on rote memorization.

In Krashen's theory, what distinguishes 'learning' from 'acquisition'?

• Learning is a subconscious process.

• Learning involves explicit instruction.

• Learning occurs naturally without formal teaching.

What does the term 'First Language (L1)' refer to?

• The language learned after the second language.

• The initial language a person acquires.

• Any language learned simultaneously with another.

According to behaviorism, how is language learned?

• Through innate biological mechanisms.

• By forming habits via stimulus-response associations.

• Through social interaction and scaffolding.

What is the focus of mentalism in language learning?

• Environmental stimuli.

• Innate mental processes.

• Habit formation.

What is the Language Acquisition Device (LAD) according to Chomsky?

• A tool for teaching languages.

• A hypothetical brain mechanism for language learning.

• A method for memorizing vocabulary.

What does cognitive constructivism emphasize?

• Social interaction in learning.

• Developmental processes in understanding.

• Habit formation through repetition.

What is the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) in Vygotsky's theory?

• The difference between what a learner can do alone and with help.

• The stage of complete independence in learning.

• The phase where no assistance is needed.

What was a key finding in early second language acquisition research?

• Learners follow a universal route in acquiring grammar.

• Transfer from L1 is the primary factor in L2 learning.

• Instruction methods are the sole determinants of success.

What does the Input Hypothesis propose?

• Grammar instruction is paramount.

• Comprehensible input is essential for language acquisition.

• Memorization of vocabulary is the key.
