Traditional Methods
What is the name of the method that emphasizes grammar rules, translation, and rote memorization?
What is the Grammar-Translation Method?
Who proposed the Comprehensible Input Hypothesis? and Who proposed the Noticing Hypothesis?
Who is Stephen Krashen? and Who is Richard Schmidt?
What does TBLT stand for?
Task-Based Language Teaching
What makes grammar instruction “meaningful”?
It connects form to real-world meaning and use
What is the difference between explicit and implicit feedback?
Explicit: clear correction; Implicit: hints or recasts
In traditional grammar methods, how is vocabulary usually taught?
Through direct translation and memorization
What does “i+1” refer to in Krashen’s theory?
Input slightly above the learner’s current level
What is a “task” in TBLT?
A real-world activity with a communicative goal
True or False: Grammar can be taught in meaningful ways even without full communication.
True
Which type of feedback involves repeating the student's error with correct grammar?
What is a recast?
This type of practice involves repeating language structures to reinforce accuracy.
What are drills?
What must happen before a learner can acquire a new grammar form, according to Schmidt?
The learner must notice it
In TBLT, how is grammar typically taught?
As a tool for communication, often after the task
What’s an alternative to rote grammar drills that supports meaning?
Structured input or output tasks
Which feedback type: “No, you should say goes, not go.”
What is explicit feedback?
What is a main criticism of traditional grammar instruction?
It lacks communicative practice or real-world use.
What does VanPatten's Input Processing Theory say learners prioritize when hearing language?
Meaning over form
What is one example of a grammar-focused task?
Writing a complaint letter, planning a trip, etc.
Why is meaningful grammar instruction more effective than traditional methods alone?
Because it promotes deeper processing and real usage
True or False: Recasts are always effective for grammar acquisition.
False – depends on whether learners notice the correction
What is the term for teaching grammar rules explicitly before any communication happens?
Deductive grammar instruction
According to Input Processing Theory, what is the problem with grammar drills disconnected from meaning?
Learners may not process the grammar in real-time communication
What is “focus on form” in TBLT?
Drawing attention to grammar during or after meaningful tasks
Give one example of an activity that makes grammar meaningful.
Dialogue completion with real context, info gaps, etc.
What is one reason delayed feedback may be used instead of immediate correction?
To avoid interrupting fluency or learner confidence
