An ESL teacher has a new student that knows very little English. She greets him using clear, slow language, facial expressions, gestures, and visual cues. She is:

A. Using comprehensible input 1
B. Lowering the "affective filter"
C. Using scaffolding
D. Meeting his cognitive, academic, and linguistic needs

Respuesta :

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The teacher uses Total Physical Response method by using her physical action to engage the new learner. For the new ESL learner, body movements, gestures and visual cues help in acquiring the English language. For cognition, the teacher begins by greeting in clear and slow language since fluency doesn't help ESL learners in cognition. Physical demonstration is highly effective to enhance the cognitive and linguistic needs. Speaking words slowly helps learner know new or familiar words and make meaning out of them.
