Total questions: 16
Worksheet time: 8mins
What is the main idea behind Krashen's Input Hypothesis?
Learners improve when they speak more.
Learning is a conscious process.
Learners improve when they receive comprehensible input slightly above their current level.
Grammar teaching is essential for language acquisition.
According to the Affective Filter Hypothesis, which factor does NOT lower the affective filter?
Motivation
Anxiety
Self-confidence
Relaxation
What does the Natural Order Hypothesis suggest?
Grammar structures are learned in a predictable sequence.
Vocabulary is more important than grammar in language acquisition.
Natural exposure to language does not facilitate learning.
The order of acquisition can be changed through explicit instruction.
Which statement best describes the Monitor Hypothesis?
The monitor is used to plan and edit language production.
The monitor plays a primary role in acquiring a second language.
The monitor refers to the natural order in which language is acquired.
The monitor increases the affective filter.
The Acquisition-Learning Hypothesis distinguishes between which two processes?
Listening and speaking
Reading and writing
Acquired system and learned system
Natural order and monitor
According to Krashen, which type of input is necessary for language acquisition?
i+1
i-1
i+2
i
How does the Affective Filter Hypothesis explain the role of emotions in language learning?
Positive emotions speed up the learning process.
Negative emotions can block comprehensible input from being acquired.
Emotions have no significant effect on language learning.
Only negative emotions facilitate language learning.
What is NOT a characteristic of the "monitor" according to Krashen's Monitor Hypothesis?
It requires time to use.
It is always active in early stages of language acquisition.
It requires knowledge of rules.
It is used for self-correction.
According to Krashen's Monitor Model, which of the following is an example of "learning" rather than "acquisition"?
Learning vocabulary through immersion in a language-rich environment.
Memorizing verb conjugation tables in a language class.
Engaging in natural conversation with native speakers.
Listening to authentic audio recordings in the target language.
What does the Acquisition-Learning Hypothesis argue is more beneficial for language acquisition?
Explicit grammar instruction
Immersion in meaningful communication
Repetitive language exercises
Memorization of vocabulary lists
Which of the following best illustrates the concept of comprehensible input in language learning?
Repeating sentences after a teacher without understanding them.
Practicing isolated vocabulary lists.
Memorizing grammar rules without context.
Listening to stories that are slightly above the learner's current proficiency level.
According to Krashen, what is the primary function of the 'monitor' in second language acquisition?
To determine the natural order of language acquisition.
To increase motivation for learning.
To provide subconscious language input.
To consciously check and correct language output.
Which factor is most likely to raise the affective filter and hinder language acquisition?
Fear of making mistakes
Supportive learning environment
High motivation
Low anxiety
Which of the following is NOT one of Krashen's five main hypotheses of second language acquisition?
Critical Period Hypothesis
Natural Order Hypothesis
Input Hypothesis
Affective Filter Hypothesis
According to the Input Hypothesis, what type of input should teachers provide to facilitate language acquisition?
Input that matches the learner's current level exactly
Input that is slightly above the learner's current proficiency
Input focused only on grammar rules
Input that is incomprehensible to learners
Which statement best reflects the role of the affective filter in language learning?
A high affective filter allows more language input to be acquired.
A low affective filter makes it easier for learners to acquire language.
The affective filter only affects native speakers.
The affective filter is unrelated to motivation or anxiety.
