Questions and Answers

What is the main focus of a task-based approach in language instruction?

  • Ensuring learners predominantly focus on semantic meaning
  • Focusing on vocabulary and grammar simultaneously
  • Encouraging learners to create pragmatic meaning (correct)
  • Emphasizing the teaching of grammar over vocabulary

    • In the context of language acquisition, what does 'focus on form' primarily refer to?

  • Conscious attention to both semantic and pragmatic meanings
  • Learners need to be aware of underlying abstract rules (correct)
  • Learners need to attend only to the graphic or phonetic instantiations of linguistic forms
  • Orientation to language as a form without specific attention to details

    • What role does focusing on pragmatic meaning play in language acquisition, according to the text?

  • It delays the overall language acquisition process
  • It has no significant impact on learners' fluency in L2
  • It decreases the students' intrinsic motivation to learn the language
  • It creates conditions for language acquisition (correct)

    • How can learners focus on specific grammatical features according to Principle (3)?
