QUESTIONS TYPE A:

KRASHEN'S FIVE MAIN HYPOTHESES ON SLA

4. How does the "Monitor" affect language learning, according to

Krashen's hypothesis?
- The monitor hypothesis posits that the acquisition of and learning is used in
very complex ways and Specific. Usually learning starts by making students
speak a second language (target language) and is responsible for fluency in
speaking. Meanwhile, learning has only one function, namely as a monitor
or editor. The Monitor Hypothesis also states that learners consciously learn
the grammatical rules and function of a language rather than its meaning.
This theory focuses more on the truth of language. To use the Monitor
Hypothesis correctly, three standards must be met, namely 1) the acquirer
must know the rules of the language. 2) The acquirer must concentrate on
the actual form of the language. 3). The acquirer should take the time to
review and apply language rules to the conversation. Although this is
complicated, because in ordinary conversation there is hardly enough time
to ensure the correctness of the language.

6. What role does comprehensible input play in language acquisition according to

the Input Hypothesis?
- The theory of comprehensible input is seen as a prerequisite for second
language learning. The hypothesis proposed by Krashen is that learners
develop their language through understanding comprehensible input that
contains i+1 or one level beyond their current competence, input can be
converted into comprehensible input if simplified, speaking is not the cause
of acquisition but the result of acquisition. According to the theory, gains
can be obtained when students receive input that can be understood. In the
next stage, students need to convert input into intake.
QUESTIONS TYPE B:

PERFORMANCE AND COMPETENCE

4. How does social appropriateness play a role in communicative competence?

- The commentary deals with the question of what constitutes communicative
competence (or communication skills) and to what extent findings regarding
motor and social skills are transferable to the domain of communication. After
a proposal for a definition, the commentary considers how learners acquire
communicative competence and what needs to be considered from the
trainers' perspective in order to support learners in their competence
development.
7. Why is developing communicative competence a significant goal for
English language learners and their teachers?
- Communicative competence is very important because it allows people of all
different language levels to be able to talk to each other. Something similar
can allow for more positive interactions between each other. For example,
teenagers will likely talk differently to their friends than to their grandmother
or teacher.

QUESTIONS TYPE C:
THE ROLE OF MOTHER TONGUE OR NATIVE LANGUAGE (L1) IN SECOND
(L2) LANGUAGE LEARNING

3. Why should we teach L2 in mother tongue / native language?

- Most contemporary teachers feel that the use of L1 (1st Language) should be
minimized but they find it difficult to say why. Consequently, it is generally
assumed that English should be learned through English, just as you learn your
mother tongue using your mother tongue. But the idea that the learner
should learn English like a native speaker does or, indeed, tries to 'think in
English' is both inappropriate and unachievable.

5. Explain the iceberg analogy that represent the common underlying proficiency
model of bilinguals.
- The tips above the air represent two different languages and how they look
qualitatively different. languages often appear to have fundamentally
different characteristics when viewed from the surface. The part of the
iceberg that is underwater represents Cummins' idea that learning two
languages actually involves the same basic processes and skills and that
learning one language makes it easier to learn the other. These fundamental
similarities can be thought of as operating components, as is the example of
how computers have central processors that enable them to use different
central software applications that appear very different in terms of their
features or functions.
