The TEFL Academy with QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS/Glossary Terms GRADED A+ Acceptable Word Method - CORRECT ANSW-A procedure for scoring tests in which any response which (a) is grammatically correct, and (b) makes good sense in the context is given full credit as an acceptable answer Accuracy - CORRECT ANSW-Refers to the ability to produce grammatically correct sentences that are comprehensible Achievement Tests - CORRECT ANSW-Assessment instruments or procedures based on the objectives of a course, used to determine how much of the course content students have learned Acquisition - CORRECT ANSW-Picking up a language through meaningful conversation the way children pick up languages. This will occur when a learner is exposed to meaningful, comprehensible input. It is far superior to learning because it is language that is acquired that is available for fluent, rapid, and natural speech. Acquisition-learning hypothesis - CORRECT ANSW-According to Stephen Krashen, adult second language learners can develop second language learning. One method is a conscious study of the forms of language. The other method is acquisition, or just picking up a language the way children do without conscious attention to forms. Krashen further argues that acquisition is far more beneficial in terms of producing fluent, natural communication in another language. Krashen also asserts that learning cannot change into acquisition. Active voice - CORRECT ANSW-Sentences where the subject is the performer or doer of the action, not the receiver of the action. "She washed the car." Additive Bilingualism - CORRECT ANSW-When learning a second language does not interfere with the learning of the first language. Both languages are developed. Admissions Tests - CORRECT ANSW-An instrument or procedure used to provide information about whether or not a candidate is likely to succeed in a particular program. (sometimes referred to as screening tests) Active feedback - CORRECT ANSW-When teachers display signs about how interested they are in trying to understand the student. Gestures, facial expressions and intonations.
