Question 1

Mr.Rouge is going to give an important mini-lecture on latitude and longitude to begin the geography unit.Which of the following strategies would work best to make what he presents understandable to the English language learners in his class?
A) using active participation strategies
B) having students work with partners
C) preteaching key vocabulary
D) providing students with an audio recording

Accepted Answer

Preteaching key vocabulary would be the best choice as it helps English language learners understand the key terms and concepts that will be presented during the lecture. This can help them follow along better during the lecture and comprehend the material more effectively. While active participation strategies and working with partners can also be helpful, they may not necessarily address the issue of unfamiliar vocabulary. Providing an audio recording may be helpful for students who struggle with reading or prefer to learn through listening, but it may not be the most effective strategy for all learners.

Question 2

CALP and BICS are often interrelated and students who are proficient in CALP are likely to have strong BICS as well.

Question 3

Which of the following is NOT a useful strategy for directly teaching vocabulary?
A) presenting words in context
B) having partners teach new vocabulary to each other
C) introducing a small number of important and useful words at a time
D) providing practice opportunities such as creating a word bank

While having partners teach new vocabulary to each other can be a helpful review strategy, it is not as effective as directly teaching and introducing new vocabulary. Options A, C, and D are all effective strategies for directly teaching vocabulary.

A) provide varied supports for student practice
