В настоящее время объектом активного изучения лингводидактики стало

locus of control: The tendency to attribute success and 
difficulties either to internal factors such as effort or to external 
factors such as chance. Individuals with learning disabilitie s tend to 
blame failure on themselves and achievement on luck, leading to 
frustration and passivity. 
long-term memory: storage of the heard or read information 
for future use. 
M 
management of the lesson: is creation of the teaching/learning 
media in the lesson by control of discipline, seating arrangements, 
error correction, use of classroom board, etc. 
managing: provides managing of the process of language 
acquisition thanks to using special teaching material and ways of 
their using during control. 
manipulative: Any physical object (e.g., blocks, toothpicks, 
coins) that can be used to represent or model a problem situation or 
develop a mathematical concept. 
mastery criterion-referencing approach: is one in which a 
single ‘minimum competence standard’ or ‘cut-off point’ is set to 
divide learners into ‘masters’ and ‘non-masters’, with no degrees of 
quality in the achievement of the objective being recognized. 
matrix sampling: An assessment method in which no student 
completes the entire assessment but each completes a portion of the 
assessment. Portions are allotted to different, representative samples 
of students. Group (rather than individual) scores are obtained for an 
analysis of school or district performance. 
metacognition: The process of considering and regulating one's 
own learning. Activities include assessing or reviewing one's current 
and previous knowledge, identifying gaps in that knowledge, 
planning gap-filling strategies, determining the relevance of new 
information, and potentially revising beliefs on the subject.
