Sections covered on the exam: Instruction and Assessment, Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking.
Question 1 · Instruction and Assessment
Answer: D. provides language slightly beyond students' current level that context makes understandable
Krashen's input hypothesis holds that acquisition occurs when learners understand messages containing language just beyond their current competence (i+1), with context and visuals making it comprehensible. Restricting input to already-mastered vocabulary is tempting because it guarantees comprehension, but it offers nothing new to acquire.
Question 2 · Instruction and Assessment
Answer: B. Offering tiered tasks that require analyzing authentic sources and producing more complex language
Gifted learners benefit from greater depth, complexity, and abstraction, such as analyzing authentic sources and producing more sophisticated language, rather than more of the same. Ongoing peer tutoring may seem productive, but it does not extend the gifted student's own learning.
Question 3 · Instruction and Assessment
Answer: B. Asking students to identify key words, main ideas, and supporting details, responding in English where needed
Interpretive tasks should measure comprehension of authentic texts, and allowing novice learners to respond in English where needed prevents limited production skills from masking what they understood. Requiring error-free Spanish answers confounds interpretive comprehension with written production.
Question 4 · Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking
Answer: D. Informar de una interrupción del servicio y de las alternativas disponibles
The announcement reports that service to Aranjuez is suspended for the whole morning and then lists the alternatives: replacement buses and full refunds. The idea of a short delay is tempting, but the speaker says the line is interrupted all morning with no estimated time for resumption.
Question 5 · Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking
Answer: C. la ganancia económica que produce una actividad
Rentabilidad means profitability; the low income from farming is one reason families looked for other jobs. The link to alquilar (renta) makes the land-rental meaning tempting, but the context is about how little farm work pays.
Question 6 · Instruction and Assessment
Answer: A. Guide students through questions so that they work out together how the highlighted forms are built and what they mean
PACE moves from Presentation of a meaningful text to Attention on the form, then to Co-construction, in which teacher and students build the explanation together through guiding questions, and finally to Extension. Jumping to a creative writing task skips co-construction, so students would be asked to use forms they have not yet analyzed.
Question 7 · Instruction and Assessment
Answer: D. Analyzing interviews about how mate is passed around a group and what that sharing reveals about valued relationships
The cultural framework links products to the practices in which they are used and to the perspectives, or shared values and beliefs, behind them, and the ritual of sharing mate in a circle reveals values about hospitality and friendship. Labeling the parts of the gourd addresses only the product and does not lead students to practices or perspectives.
Question 8 · Instruction and Assessment
Answer: C. A purposeful collection of work over time, with student reflection that documents growth
Portfolio assessment gathers selected samples of student work across time, usually chosen with student input and accompanied by reflection, so that progress and goals are visible. A file of every assignment is only an archive, because it lacks purposeful selection and the student reflection that make a portfolio a tool for showing growth.
Question 9 · Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking
Answer: B. Que antes del proyecto era poco común cultivar hortalizas en la caleta por la escasez de agua.
Her remark "cosa que aquí no se veía" implies that home gardens were rare before the fog water arrived. The school-program option adds information never mentioned; nothing in the report links the gardens to the school or the government.
Question 10 · Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking
Answer: A. completaron y ampliaron un trabajo que ya habían comenzado otras instituciones.
The paragraph first credits community organizations and bilingual schools, then says social media "did the rest," meaning it extended and amplified their earlier work. The option calling social media the original and only cause contradicts "El cambio no surgió de la nada."
