Question

• A. teaching vocabulary
• B. writing discourses
• C. listening to stories
• D. non-verbal test

Answer 1

Answer:

D. non-verbal test

The non-verbal test is NOT a factor that promotes language acquisition.

Language acquisition is promoted by factors such as:

1. Exposure to language – Regular interaction with spoken or written language.

2. Social interaction – Communicating with others helps in learning and using language.

3. Motivation – A desire or need to communicate encourages learning.

4. Feedback – Corrective feedback from others helps refine language skills.

5. Context – Learning language in meaningful contexts helps with retention and understanding.

A non-verbal test typically measures a person's abilities without relying on spoken or written language, which doesn’t directly promote language acquisition.
