The second one is probably C.

10. For children who are learning English as a second language, context embedded activities enhance:

a. written language

c. vocabulary development

The emphasis here is on "who are learning English as a second language" -- therefore the answer is C.

You need to re-think the answer to the first question in your second set. Remember the connection between "semantics" and "vocabulary" in learning a new language.

7. To determine which condition fails to foster good communicative interaction in an early learning setting, we need to evaluate each option.

a. The teacher repeats everything a child says, but in the proper English form.
This condition promotes language development by modeling correct English syntax and grammar, so it fosters good communicative interaction.

b. At least during the time the child is in the early care environment, the teacher models Standard English.
Modeling Standard English helps children learn the correct language patterns, so it also fosters good communicative interaction.

c. The teacher offers daily opportunities for each child to speak.
Providing daily opportunities for children to speak encourages active participation and communication, so it fosters good communicative interaction.

d. The teacher provides a variety of stimulating opportunities for children to practice with children and adults in the early care environment.
Offering stimulating opportunities for children to interact with others promotes social interaction and communication skills, so it fosters good communicative interaction.

Based on the evaluation, it appears that all the conditions listed foster good communicative interaction. Therefore, none of them fails to foster good communicative interaction. The correct answer would be none of the above; all conditions foster good communicative interaction.

10. To determine which choice appropriately explains how context-embedded activities enhance learning English as a second language, we need to evaluate each option.

a. written language
Context-embedded activities primarily focus on oral communication rather than written language. Therefore, this option does not accurately describe the enhancement provided by context-embedded activities.

b. child-child socialization
Context-embedded activities, which involve interaction and communication, can effectively enhance child-child socialization. So, this is a valid choice.

c. vocabulary development
Through context-embedded activities, children can learn new words and their meanings in a natural context. Thus, this choice accurately describes the enhancement provided by context-embedded activities.

d. assimilation into mainstream culture
Context-embedded activities may help children with language learning, but they do not specifically target assimilation into mainstream culture. Therefore, this option does not accurately describe the enhancement provided by context-embedded activities.

Based on the evaluation, it is correct to choose option c. Vocabulary development as it accurately explains how context-embedded activities enhance learning English as a second language.
