Concerning the pronunciation of words in English, it is INCORRECT to state that words such as
Speaking strategies for developing strategic competence is something that “few beginning
students are aware of… your classroom can be one in which students become aware of,
and have the chance to practice, such strategies”

The CORRECT correspondence between speaking strategies and example is
Prabhu (1987) defined task as “an activity which required learners to arrive at an outcome
from given information through some process of thought, and which allowed teachers to
control and regulate that process” (p.24).
An evidence of beginner learners’ development as a consequence of task-based
instruction is that

Whereas General English Language teaching tends to set out from point A toward an often
pretty indeterminate destination, setting sail through largely uncharted waters, ESP aims to
speed learners through to a known destination. The emphasis in ESP on going from A to B
in the most time- and energy-efficient manner can lead to the view that ESP is an
essentially practical endeavor. Nevertheless, within ESP there are proposals and
counterproposals, arguments and counterarguments about the nature of the destination
(views of what is meant by knowing a language for special purposes) and the best way of
getting there (views of learning and teaching). Thus, although practical in orientation, ESP,

language, learning, and teaching.

Basturkmen (2006) examines links between theories about language learning and ESP.
She analyses two ideas about conditions needed for language learning and how these
ideas are reflected in ESP teaching and research.
According to her observations on the matter, consider the information provided below
regarding its correctness, and choose the CORRECT alternative.
I. The ideas that the author examines are acculturation and input and interaction.
II. Acculturation is based on social interactions and is premised on the idea that ESP
learners need to be in close proximity or contact with their target discourse
communities.
III. The provision of sufficient linguistic input is the only prerequisite the author considers
for language learning.
Sometimes a sentence is not understood by the reader although the vocabulary is known.
This may happen because the sentence is difficult to unravel syntactically. There are a
number of reasons why a sentence may be difficult to understand such as the use of
complex noun groups, nominalizations, participial phrases, and subordination.
Considering these examples, all the following alternatives are correct, EXCEPT:
