reading used when the reader wants to get the main idea
or ideas from a passage. For example, a
reader may
skim-read a chapter to find out if the writer approves or
disapproves of something.
SECOND LANGUAGE
ACQUISITION
(SLA)
(in applied linguistics) the
processes by which people
learn or acquire a second or
foreign language. These
processes are often investigated with the expectation that
information about them may be
useful in language
teaching.
SELF-CORRECTION
Correction by a learner of her/his own mistakes –
usually possible only in the case of
post-systematic
errors.
SIMULATION
Classroom or training activities which reproduce or
simulate real situations and which often involve
learners/participants in playing roles and group
discussion in order to solve a problem or complete a
given task. They are given instructions to follow (for
example, an employer- employee discussion over wage
increases in a factory). The
participants then make
decisions and proposals. Consequences are “simulated”
on the basis of decisions the participants take. They later
discuss their actions, feelings, and what happened in a
debriefing session which generally follows the
simulation proper.
