PRACTICAL - Units 4-6 - MAES

Which of the following best describes the main goal of the PPP (Presentation-Practice-Production) model in EFL teaching?

• To focus solely on fluency without accuracy

• To provide a structured approach to teaching grammar and vocabulary

• To encourage spontaneous communication without prior practice

In the DECPRO sequence, what does the "DEC" stage primarily focus on?

• Developing procedural knowledge through practice

• Providing explicit grammatical explanations and declarative knowledge

• Encouraging autonomous language use without feedback

Which of the following is a key criticism of the PPP model?

• It focuses too much on meaning and neglects form

• It emphasizes form over meaning, limiting communicative competence

• It does not provide enough structure for beginners

What is the primary purpose of the "Production" phase in the PPP model?

• To introduce new grammar rules

• To allow students to practice language in a controlled manner

• To enable autonomous language use and fluency development

According to Skill Acquisition Theory (SAT), what is the final stage of skill development?

• Declarative stage

• Procedural stage

• Autonomous stage

Which of the following best describes procedural knowledge in language learning?

• Knowing the rules of grammar explicitly

• Being able to use language automatically without conscious thought

• Memorizing vocabulary lists

What is a potential risk of focusing only on procedural knowledge (PRO) in language teaching?

• Students may develop fossilized errors that are hard to correct

• Students will become too focused on grammar rules

• Students will lose interest in communicative activities

In the DECPRO sequence, which stage involves students applying procedural knowledge in real-life scenarios?

• DEC

• PRO

• Both DEC and PRO

Which of the following activities would best fit the "Practice" phase of the PPP model?

• A role-play where students use new vocabulary in a simulated conversation

• A fill-in-the-gap exercise focusing on a specific grammar rule

• A free discussion on a topic without any specific language focus

What is the main advantage of using a coursebook in the EFL classroom?

• It allows for complete teacher creativity without any structure

• It provides a structured approach to learning grammar and vocabulary

• It eliminates the need for any supplementary materials
