What is the first stage in the process of acquiring an additional language?

• Silent/Receptive

• Early Production

• Intermediate Fluency

• Speech Emergence

Which stage involves learners using short phrases and simple sentences but still making many grammatical errors?

• Early Production

• Speech Emergence

• Intermediate Fluency

• Advanced Fluency

At which stage do learners typically demonstrate higher levels of comprehension and more complex sentence construction with fewer errors?

• Intermediate Fluency

• Speech Emergence

• Early Production

• Advanced Fluency

Match the stage to the correct learner behaviour:

• Fluent speech with academic vocabulary

• Early Production

• One/two-word answers

• Advanced Fluency

• Listens but rarely speaks

Which TWO of the following are individual learner factors?

• Age

• Peer interactions

• Motivation

• Cultural identity

Which of the following is NOT a social factor that affects language acquisition?

• Learning style

A child’s first language (L1) can influence the acquisition of a second language (L2) by:

• Providing similar grammatical structures that make learning easier

• Having no effect on L2 acquisition

• Making it impossible to learn a second language

• Causing children to forget their first language

One classroom strategy that supports learners in the Silent/Receptive or Early Production stage is:

• Providing opportunities for students to listen and respond non-verbally

• Assigning complex writing tasks

• Encouraging advanced grammar discussions

• Requiring oral presentations immediately
