UNIT 6 - MAES

What is the main focus of activity sequencing in EFL teaching?

• Organizing lessons by subject complexity.

• Structuring the sequence of activities for effective learning.

• Prioritizing students' preferences over curriculum guidelines.

How does activity sequencing relate to the curriculum?

• It helps define the syllabus goals.

• It materializes the organization of the curriculum.

• It ensures uniformity in teacher preparation.

According to Criado (2008), what is a key aspect of sequencing?

• The random arrangement of activities.

• The pedagogical arrangement of content.

• The elimination of procedural activities.

What is the main purpose of the "Presentation" stage in the PPP framework?

• To introduce linguistic items explicitly or implicitly.

• To allow students to practice autonomously.

• To focus on fluency over accuracy.

During the "Practice" phase of PPP, what is emphasized?

• Autonomous use of language forms.

• Controlled practice with corrective feedback.

• Implicit acquisition of language skills.

What does the "Production" phase in PPP aim to develop?

• Mastery of implicit grammar knowledge.

• Fluency through free language use.

• Repetition of controlled language drills.

What is a key criticism of the PPP model?

• It overemphasizes meaning over form.

• It neglects meaning by focusing on form.

• It integrates meaning and form equally.

What is the core idea of Skill Acquisition Theory (SAT)?

• That L2 learning requires only implicit practice.

• That skill mastery progresses from declarative to procedural knowledge.

• That declarative knowledge is sufficient for fluency.

What does declarative knowledge refer to?

• Knowledge stored unconsciously.

• Verbalized, consciously accessible knowledge.

• Knowledge used exclusively in implicit learning.

Procedural knowledge is best described as:

• Knowledge stored and used unconsciously.

• Explicit knowledge applied in formal writing.

• Knowledge requiring verbal explanation.
