advantages of reading assessment
- ANSWERS-frequent leveling to scaffold students to higher levels
Affective Filter
- ANSWERS-Krashen. This is an imaginary wall that is placed between a learner and
language input. If the filter is on, the learner is blocking out input. The filter turns on
when anxiety is high, self-esteem is low, or motivation is low. Hence, low anxiety
classes are better for language acquisition. Another implication is that too much
correction will also raise the affective filter as self-esteem in using the language drops.
Affix
- ANSWERS-Never occurs by itself. bound morpheme that is attached to either root,
stem or middle of word. ex: UNhappy
Allophone
- ANSWERS-All of the sounds associate with a phoneme
