Praxis 5362 Practice Question
Read the following dialogue between a teacher and an ESL student. Teacher： What did you have for breakfast this morning， Juan? Student： I eated eggs and I drinked some milk. Teacher： You ate eggs and drank some milk? That's a very healthy breakfast. In the final line of the dialogue， the teacher demonstrates which of the following?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In the dialogue, the teacher reformulates the student's incorrect verb forms ("eated" and "drinked") into the correct past tense ("ate" and "drank") without directly pointing out the errors. This technique is known as recasting, as it provides the student with the correct language model in a supportive manner.
Option A, metalinguistic feedback, involves explaining the rules of language, which is not present here. Option B, peer correction, would involve another student correcting Juan, which is not the case. Option C, self-correction, would require Juan to recognize and correct his own errors, which he does not do.
