DELTA MODULE 1 EXAM WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS 2025
Suggestopedia correct answers Definition: (Giori Lozanov) an approach
based on lowering the students' affective filter as much as possible to
encourage acquisition.
Example: using baroque music, sitting in comfy chairs, creating new
identities all form part of this approach
Further Point: there is a 'receptive' 'activation' phase in class
Anaphoric Reference correct answers Definition: a type of grammatical
cohesion - something that refers back to a previously mentioned item in
a text.
Example: "Susan lives just round the corner. She's my best friend." 'She'
refers back to 'Susan'
Further Point: can be seen in contrast to cataphoric reference (refers
forward) and exophoric reference (refers to something 'outside' the
text, which is common knowledge)
Aptitude test correct answers Definition: a test of a student's natural
ability to learn a language (in this case).
Example: in pronunciation, a test to check the ability to imitate/distinguish
sounds in an unknown language.
Further Point: clearly it is much simpler to test aptitude in systems like
grammar, pronunciation or lexis, rather than skills
Audio-Lingual Approach correct answers Definition: an inductive approach
based on drilling and pattern practice, moving towards substitution of
elements.
Example: Teacher: "That cat is cute." Students: "That cat is cute."
Teacher: "Dog." Students: "That dog is cute." etc.
Further Point: most interaction is teacher-
student, students should 'overlearn' so that
usage becomes habitual.
Backwash correct answers Definition: the effect a test/exam has on the
teaching leading up to it
, Example: a global language exam decides to include a speaking test for the
time. This causes teachers to begin including speaking practice in their
classes
Further Point: the effect of backwash can be positive or negative
Behaviourism correct answers Definition: a belief that language is learned
behaviour and we learn by imitation of good models
Example: the Audio-lingual Method is the
classroom approach of behaviourist ideology
Further Point: this approach works on a
stimulus-response- reward/punishment model
Bottom-up Processing correct answers Definition: processing a text starting
with the smaller elements of a text (words, sounds, etc) then building
upwards to decode the text as a whole
Example: listening or reading for the times of a particular train
Further Point: can be seen in comparison to 'Top-down' processing, which
starts from 'global knowledge' to process meaning
Cataphoric Reference correct answers Definition: a type of grammatical
cohesion - something that refers forward to another thing mentioned
later in the text
Example: "Given that it is bad for you, smoking still remains very
popular." 'It' refers forward to 'smoking'
Further Point: can be seen in contrast to anaphoric reference (refers
back) and exophoric reference (refers outside the text)
Cloze test correct answers Definition: a test where a number of words
have been removed from a text. Students have to complete the text
Example: FCE Use of English Part 2, where students have fill the gaps
left in the text
Further Point: traditionally, the missing words were every so many words
(e.g. every 9th word was missing) - there are also open and multiple choice
cloze tests
Co-text correct answers Definition: the words immediately around a
particular item in the text which help to deduce its meaning
Example: on the way back to the market (the underlined words are
the co-text of 'back')
Further Point: the co-text can be the same topic as the context (they are
about the same things) or can be a digression away from the context
