Question 1

A teacher observes that an ELL student produces grammatically incorrect sentences that follow a predictable, rule-governed pattern different from both L1 and L2. This is called:

Accepted Answer

Interlanguage

Answer

Interlanguage is the developing linguistic system of a second language learner that has its own systematic rules distinct from L1 and L2.

Question 2

Which of the following is an example of negative transfer (interference) from a student's L1?

Accepted Answer

A Spanish-speaking student says 'I have hunger' instead of 'I am hungry'

Answer

Negative transfer occurs when L1 structures are incorrectly applied to L2, as when Spanish 'tener hambre' (have hunger) is mapped directly into English.

Question 3

The affective filter hypothesis (Krashen) predicts that language acquisition is inhibited when students experience:

Accepted Answer

High anxiety, low motivation, or low self-confidence

Answer

A high affective filter caused by anxiety or low motivation blocks comprehensible input from being processed for acquisition.

Question 4

Which program model is most likely to produce the highest levels of bilingualism and biliteracy for ELL students?

Accepted Answer

Two-Way Dual Language Immersion

Answer

Two-way dual language programs develop high levels of bilingualism and biliteracy in both ELL students and native English speakers through sustained instruction in two languages.

Question 5

A teacher uses 'wait time' more consistently with ELL students after asking questions. This strategy supports ELL students by:

Accepted Answer

Allowing additional processing time for formulating responses in English

Answer

Extended wait time gives ELL students the processing time needed to formulate responses in a second language without the pressure of rapid response.
