According to Lourdes Ortega (2011), there are different approaches to explaining variability of L2 learning across individuals. The following excerpt is related to a critical approach:


“As Norton and Toohey (2001) explain, in this perspective constructs such as motivation, aptitude, and other individual differences are reconceptualized as stemming from the interplay between people’s understanding of themselves in the world and the constraints, material and symbolic, that their worlds afford them. These understandings are dialectically shaped by the hopes and aspirations of individuals and by the power structures of the societal milieus that they inhabit”

ORTEGA, 2011, p. 179. In: SIMPSON, J. (Ed.) The Routledge Handbook of Applied Linguistics. London: Routledge, 2011).


Which statement best exemplifies the critical perspective in language learning?

Studies on Needs Analysis have been conducted to investigate the needs of various learner groups in academic, professional, occupational, and survival contexts. In terms of teaching, needs analysis serves several distinct functions.
Which of the following is NOT a purpose of Needs Analysis?

According to Lawrence Zhang (In: RENANDYA & WIDODO, 2016), three key factors influence the success of reading: (1) the features of the text, (2) the traits of the reader, and (3) the social context. This applies to both first and second language contexts. With this information in mind, mark T for True statements and F for False ones.

( ) Text characteristic is an important variable which affects the reading process. Narrative and expository texts, for example, have very similar organizational structures and linguistic features.
( ) Different readers engage with the same text in varied ways due to their unique individual traits. Given these diverse factors, teachers should consider such differences when creating lesson plans for reading activities.
( ) Readers interpret meaning based on their cultural models and knowledge. While these sociocultural frameworks can enhance understanding if used effectively, they may also hinder comprehension if they distort the process.

The correct sequence of True and False statements, from top to bottom, is 

According to Christine Goh (In: RENANDYA & WIDODO, 2016), speaking activities that foster real communication among learners can be divided into three broad categories: communication-gap tasks, discussion tasks, and monologic tasks. With this idea in mind, read the following statements:

I. Communication-gap tasks can take various forms, often involving missing information or details that one student must describe, narrate, or explain to their partner.
II. In discussion tasks, learners are expected to present their ideas individually to either one listener or an audience of listeners. Students may also speak extensively on a topic without interruptions.
III. Monologic tasks are interactive activities in which learners exchange ideas, opinions, or information on a particular topic, typically in a pair setting. When a consensus is required, students should also negotiate with one another.
IV. Monologic tasks may be done in small groups, but presenting them to the entire class is preferable, as it lowers speaker anxiety and allows peers to ask questions and offer feedback in a more spontaneous manner.

The INCORRECT affirmatives are only 

Regarding the teaching of foreign languages in the era of cyberculture, Leffa (2016) presents four challenges for teachers. Make the correct association between numbers and letters, relating the type of challenge and its meaning.

A. The challenge for the teacher is to find the balance between preserving our individuality and accepting the diversity of others.
B. The teacher must have a good level of proficiency in not only the mediation processes through which access to knowledge is given, but also the social practice implicit in this knowledge.
C. Society needs new knowledge to face the countless challenges of everyday life and the teacher is the professional who, par excellence, is able to meet this need.
