This (Illegal) American Life
By Maria E. Andreu My parents came to New York City to make their fortune when I was a baby. Irresponsible and dreamy and in their early 20s, they didn't think things through when their visa expired; they decided to stay just a bit longer to build up a nest egg. But our stay got progressively longer, until, when I was 6, my grandfather died in South America. My father decided my mother and I should go to the funeral and, with assurances that he would handle everything, sat me down and told me I'd have a nice visit in his boyhood home in Argentina, then be back in America in a month. I didn't see him for two years. We couldn't get a visa to return. My father sent us money from New Jersey, as the months of our absence stretched into years. Finally, he met someone who knew "coyotes" - people who smuggled others into the U.S. via Mexico. He paid them what they asked for, and we flew to Mexico City. They drove us to the Mexican side of the border, and left us at a beach. Another from their operation picked us up there and drove us across as his family. We passed Disneyland on our way to the airport, where we boarded the plane to finally rejoin my father. As a child, I had thought coming back home would be the magical end to our troubles, but in many ways it was the beginning. I chafed at the strictures of undocumented life: no social security number meant no public school (instead I attended a Catholic school my parents could scarcely afford); no driver's license, no after-school job. My parents had made their choices, and I had to live with those, seeing off my classmates as they left on a class trip to Canada, or packing to go off to college, where 1 could not go. The year before I graduated from high school, Congress passed the amnesty law of 1987. A few months after my 18th birthday, I became legal and what had always seemed a blank future of no hope suddenly turned dazzling with possibility. When I went for my interview at the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the caseworker looked at me quizzically when he heard me talk in unaccented English and joke about current events. Surely this American teenager did not fit in with the crowd of illegals looking to make things right. At the time, I was flattered. His confusion meant I could pass as an American.

Choose the correct sentence, according to the text.
“Although the purpose of such [pedagogic] framework is to help teachers become
autonomous decision makers, it should, without denying the value of individual autonomy,
provide adequate conceptual underpinnings based on current theoretical, empirical, and
pedagogic insights so that their teaching act may come about in a principled fashion”.
(Kumaravadivelu 1994, p.31)
When the author mentions principled fashion, he is referring to
According to Lightbown, already in 1985 it was possible to identify the beginning of a
divide in SLA research – those who focused on theoretical issues and those whose
interest rested on answering pedagogical questions. Yet, in spite of different specific goals,
SLA researchers share some common goals
(Lightbown 2000, p. 437-438).
The unifying goals in those researchers’ agenda aim to identify and better understand the
issues below, EXCEPT
According to Ellis (2008, p. 2) “in the view of most researchers, competence in a second

According to Songhori, “like any other model/approach, however, Munby’s model is not
without its critics … West (1994: 9-10) mentions the shortcomings of the Munby’s model in
terms of four headings” (2008, p. 8).
Among the limitations of Munby’s model, ______ is NOT one of them.
According to Songhori (2008) the different approaches to investigating needs include -
target situation, strategy or learning needs, present situation, deficiency, means, register,
discourse, and genre analyses. He refers to Dudley-Evans and St. John’s (1998) model
“which encompasses all the above-mentioned approaches” (Songhori, 2008, p. 20) and
includes analyses of the environmental situation; personal information about learners;
language information about learners; learner's lacks; learner's needs from course;
language learning needs; professional information about learners; how to communicate in
the target situation
(Songhori, 2008, p. 21).
Select the alternative with the CORRECT correspondence between Songhori’s and
Dudley-Evans and St. John’s areas of investigating needs.
