7Skinner tried to analyse language behaviour under the term [blank_start]operant conditioning[blank_end] involving 3 external factors: frequency, imitation and reinforcement.
- Aoperant conditioning
8[blank_start]Social dominance[blank_end]: the native culture may be superior, inferior or equal in terms of politics, culture or technology. If they view their culture as superior, they may not learn the second language.
- ASocial dominance
- BIntegration patterns
- CEnclosure
- DCultural congruence
- ECohesiveness
9[blank_start]Integration patterns[blank_end]: associated with the eagerness of the individual to keep their own cultural identity.
- AIntegration patterns
- BCohesiveness
- CSocial dominance
- DEnclosure
10According to Chomsky, children are born with [blank_start]Language Acquisition Devices[blank_end].
- ALanguage Acquisition Devices
11• Acquisition: it is a [blank_start]subconscious[blank_end] process, identical to the one that children experience with their mother tongue. It comes about through [blank_start]meaningful interaction[blank_end].
• Learning: it is a [blank_start]conscious[blank_end] process which leads to knowledge about [blank_start]rules[blank_end].- Asubconscious
- Bconscious
- Cmeaningful interaction
- Drules
12According to the Input hypothesis, learners acquire language when they are exposed to comprehensible input, that is, information a little bit beyond their current level of competence (I+1).
- ATrue
- BFalse
13Long's Interaction Hypothesis agrees with...
- Athe importance of teachers
- Bthe use of comprehensible input through modified interaction
- Cnegotiation of meaning
- Dthe provision of scaffolding
14The most outstanding concept of Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory is the [blank_start]Zone of Proximal Development[blank_end], which relates to the difference between what an individual can achieve independently and what they can achieve through guidance and scaffolding
- AZone of Proximal Development
15Environmentalist theories suggest that the individual’s environment shapes both [blank_start]learning[blank_end] and [blank_start]behaviour[blank_end], that is, that the individual’s experience is of more significance to development than its [blank_start]innate contributions[blank_end].
- Alearning
- Bbehaviour
- Cinnate contributions
16• [blank_start]Attitude[blank_end]: the feelings of the native and target cultures toward each other may impact language learning.
- AAttitude
- BIntegration patterns
- CCultural congruence
- DCohesiveness
- EEnclosure
17• Enclosure: when cultures share social [blank_start]facilities[blank_end], enclosure is low, supporting language learning.
- Afacilities
18• [blank_start]Cultural congruence[blank_end]: the less similar the two cultures are, the bigger the social distance.
- ACultural congruence
- BIntegration patterns
- CAttitude
- DCohesiveness
19• [blank_start]Cohesiveness[blank_end]: strong contact within the native culture with few contacts outside the community increases the social distance.
- ACohesiveness
20Nativist theories hold that language acquisition is an innate [blank_start]human ability[blank_end]. Thus, human abilities and [blank_start]developmental processes[blank_end] are encoded at birth, and language acquisition occurs as a natural part of human [blank_start]experience[blank_end].
- Ahuman ability
- Bdevelopmental processes
- Cexperience
21Interactionist theories rely both on [blank_start]innate[blank_end] and [blank_start]environmental[blank_end] factors. According to these theories, children learn language out of a desire to [blank_start]communicate[blank_end] with the world around them. Hence, language emerges from [blank_start]social interaction[blank_end].
- Ainnate
- Benvironmental
- Ccommunicate
- Dsocial interaction
22The Interaction Hypothesis is a theory proposing that one of the most effective methods in second language learning is by means of [blank_start]personal[blank_end] and [blank_start]direct[blank_end] [blank_start]interaction[blank_end].
- Apersonal
- Bdirect
- Cinteraction
23In Long's view, what learners need is...
- Asimplification of linguistic forms
- Binteraction with native speakers
- Cinteraction with teachers
24Vygotsky believed that learning is an [blank_start]active[blank_end] and [blank_start]constructive[blank_end] process, where language is developed from social interactions. According to this theory, second language learners advance to higher levels when they interact with more knowledgeable speakers, such as a [blank_start]teacher[blank_end]. Thus, the [blank_start]linguistic environment[blank_end] plays a crucial role in language acquisition.
- Aactive
- Bconstructive
- Cteacher
- Dlinguistic environment
25Interlanguage is the system which has a structurally status between the native language and the target language.
- ATrue
- BFalse
26Negotiation of meaning can be thus defined as the process by which addresser and addressee [blank_start]interpret[blank_end] the [blank_start]utterance[blank_end] and [blank_start]adjust[blank_end] linguistic [blank_start]forms[blank_end], grammatical structures or message [blank_start]content[blank_end] until they reach mutual understanding.
- Ainterpret
- Butterance
- Cadjust
- Dforms
- Econtent
27Negotiation of meaning involves several communicative strategies:
• [blank_start]Language transfer[blank_end], which consists of attributing to the target language all features of their first-language translation equivalent.
• [blank_start]Avoidance[blank_end] and [blank_start]overuse[blank_end], which consist of avoiding structures which are found to be difficult, and using forms which are known rather than trying out new structures, respectively.
• [blank_start]Paraphrasing[blank_end], which consists of repeating the utterance using different words or expressions.
• [blank_start]Overgeneralization[blank_end], which consists of applying a rule or pattern in a situation in which it does not apply in the target language.
• [blank_start]Simplification[blank_end], which consists of reduction of the language due to inability or insecurity of learners.- ALanguage transfer
- BAvoidance
- Coveruse
- DParaphrasing
- EOvergeneralization
- FSimplification
28The awareness of errors is important to teachers and learners, since it enables them to check their [blank_start]progress[blank_end] and enhance their [blank_start]communicative skills[blank_end]. Hence, studying errors serve two main purposes: they provide [blank_start]data[blank_end], and they indicate which parts of the curriculum are the most difficult for students.
- Aprogress
- Bcommunicative skills
- Cdata
