1- While teaching business English in Korea, you encounter a situation where all of your students have been out of school for many years and have lost touch with the classroom environment and formal learning. Which one of the following methods would be the most effective to reintroduce your students to classroom learning?

a.Stay after class each day to answer questions in case your students need extra help.

b.Avoid teaching difficult or challenging topics that you feel your students would not comprehend. What is the point of teaching material that they won't be able to understand?

c.Spend some time refreshing your class on how to learn and study properly. Go over helpful study techniques and slowly introduce homework assignments to gauge their progress and give them a tangible sense of progress.

d.Teach primarily using drill and recitation as those are the methods your students are likely most familiar with from their own schooling when they were younger.

2- While teaching at the Wall Street Institute in Frankfurt, Germany, Sarah has noticed that one of her advanced students, Hans, continually makes simple pronunciation and syntax errors on a few select words and phrases. His vocabulary and grammar are excellent, but there are a few phrases he cannot seem to master and some sounds that are frequently mispronounced. What is most likely to be the problem?

a.Hans is at the wrong level. Sarah should contact the school administrator and have Hans moved to a lower level class where he can practice the problem words and phrases more thoroughly.

b.Hans' native language is getting in the way. The pronunciation and syntax issues stem from Hans' native language, German. There is little Sarah can do except remind Hans to be friendly and smile so that native English speakers do not misinterpret his mood when he makes pronunciation errors.

c.This is an example of fossilization. Hans originally made these mistakes early in his ESL education and they were never corrected. Over time, he 'practiced the mistake' and these errors ingrained themselves in Hans' speech. Sarah should create a drill regimen to help Hans practice the correct pronunciation.

d.Being an adult, Hans has difficulty acquiring a new language so he needs to be given enough information to thoroughly study the mechanics of English speech. Sarah should assign some readings and ensure that Hans has a good grasp of the underlying grammatical structures so that he can correctly apply them to his spoken English.
