Questions and Answers

What is the primary concern of Processing Approaches in second language learning?

  • The processing mechanisms and capacities of the human brain (correct)
  • The development of linguistic knowledge through practice
  • The differences between native language and target language cues
  • The role of social and psychological variables in language acquisition

    • What is the main idea behind Processability Theory?

  • Automaticity is the key to successful language learning
  • Language production and comprehension are limited by the linguistic processor's capacity (correct)
  • Acculturation is the primary factor in second language acquisition
  • Linguistic knowledge is acquired through explicit instruction

    • What is the role of attention in second language acquisition, according to psycholinguistic constructs?

  • It is a skill that can be developed through practice and repetition
  • It is a necessary condition for acquiring target-like language forms (correct)
  • It is a process that helps learners to automatically acquire language rules
  • It is a mechanism that enables learners to ignore irrelevant information
