Behaviorists belive

That appropriate behavior during classes is the most important factor in language acquisition

That imitation and practice or habit formation are key processes in language development

Students have to believe in their abilities to stay motivated

That learning a new language is not as important as learning respectful behavior

According to the social-interactionist view

Social interaction with more experienced people lets children solve tasks at a level beyond their present competence (“Zone of proximal development”) and helps them to reach a higher level of competence

Children learn mostly through interacting with social media

Social interaction between peers during classes is the most annoying thing teachers are faced with

Teachers should interact more frequently with parents to learn more about the social background of their students

Why should teaching learning strategies be integrated from the start of education?

To fill up more classroom time

To make lessons more complex and challenging

To prevent systematically disadvantaging learners who naturally have fewer or less effective strategies

Because it's a new educational trend

Why is the top-down process particularly beneficial for primary level learners?

It encourages children to focus only on memorizing words and structures

It enables children to apply their pre-existing knowledge and guess the general meaning of a text without knowing every single word

It insists that children must understand each word in a text to grasp its overall meaning

It prevents children from developing or using strategies to help with their understanding

Why is it important to practice and write down your learning methods when learning languages actively?

It ensures that learning is passive and teacher centred

It supports learners in taking control of their learning and reflecting on their progress

It prevents learners from engaging in any form of social interaction

creative, original, learner-specific elements (e.g. overgeneralization)

Which of the following statements concerning errors, mistakes and slips (or lapses) within the interlanguage development process is correct?

Errors are performance deviations, typically random, where the learner fails to use known forms correctly, but can self-correct when attention is drawn to it.

Mistakes are systematic deviations (Abweichungen) from the target language system (Zielsprache) which result from a lack of knowledge of a rule, and which are not recognised as such by the learner

Due to their systematic deviation from the target language system (Zielsprache), mistakes must be corrected regularly and constantly by the teacher.

Slips or lapses are deviations from the target language system due to inattention which the learner can correct him/herself.

What is meant by vertical coherence in foreign language teaching?

Vertical coherence means that learners progress over the years, by moving up the levels set by the CEFR.

Vertical coherence means that all students learn at the same rate in foreign language teaching. The rate is set by the CEFR.

Vertical coherence means that the same course books and materials are used at all levels of learning

Vertical coherence means that students have to take the same exams at all levels of learning. The exams are set by the CEFR

What is meant by horizontal coherence in foreign language teaching?

Horizontal coherence means that all languages learned in school must be taught at the same level.

Horizontal coherence means that students must learn the same grammar rules in all languages.

Horizontal coherence means that all the languages learnt in the same school phases are linked. The languages are no longer taught separately but links between them are explicitly made.

How has horizontal coherence for language learning been integrated into Lehrplan 21?
Tick the three correct answers.

The introductory chapter of the curriculum at “Fachbereich Sprachen” are valid for all languages taught.

Lehrplan 21 ensures horizontal coherence by making sure that all skills are developped step by step. It therefore uses the levels A-C defined in the CEFR.

Where possible, the wording is kept the same for different languages and the “Querverweise” are located next to the descriptors. When clicked on, they lead directly to the related skill in the other language.

By separating strategy skills and mediation skills from the communicative competencies, links to other languages are made possible.

How has vertical coherence for language learning been integrated into Lehrplan 21?

Tick the two correct answers.

Lehrplan 21 ensures vertical coherence by making sure that all skills are developped step by step. It therefore uses the levels A-C defined in the CEFR.

The vertical coherence is visible in Lehrplan 21 in the way that the development of competences follows the so called “Progressionslogik”. For example, the competence “READING” takes three aspects into account: the complexity of the information, the complexity of the text and the support given to learners.

By separating strategy skills and mediation skills from the communicative competencies, links to other languages are made possible.

Vertical coherence has been integrated in Lehrplan 21 by only allowing to use one specific teaching material for language teaching in the German-speaking cantons of Switzerland.

Where did the audiolingual and audiovisual methods of learning foreign languages originate?

Around 1900, numerous reform movements attempted to move away from rigid grammar teaching towards more active teaching that focused on the spoken language.

Both methods were developed by Noam Chomsky in the late 1960s.

Both methods are based on a series of linguistic and learning psychology findings from the 1930s to the 1950s, primarily from the USA.

In the 1960s, the American psychologist James Asher developed this holistic method, which combines movement with language learning based on first language acquisition and is primarily used in pre-school and primary education.

Which of the following statements regarding the communicative method is incorrect?

The audiolingual as well as the audiovisual method hardly encourage communication and free expression of the learners due to their strong structural orientation. As a counter-reaction to this, the communicative method in the 1970s and 80s propagated the success of linguistic behavior in everyday life as the primary goal.

Between 1941 and 1943, various language programmes were developed on behalf of the American military in order to teach soldiers the language spoken in their area of deployment in the shortest possible time. The communicative method has its origins in the development of these language programmes.

Among other things, the communicative method is intended to understand everyday cultural phenomena and develop openness, tolerance, and a willingness to communicate with the culture associated with the target language

Whereas previous methods were based primarily on linguistic and learning theory models, the communicative approach shifts the focus to the learners as active subjects in the language acquisition process. The sociolinguistic and pragmatic aspects of language use, i.e. speaking intention and speech acts, become more important than linguistic knowledge.
