MTEL Adult Basic Education Test Answer Key
1. B: The language process is integral to learning and developing skills in all fields of study. It is not static or one-dimensional. Language varies depending upon the audience, has structural rules, patterns and conventions and changes over time with continued use. It entails speaking, listening and writing and requires response, interpretation, assessment and integration.
2. B: Students learn better, retain data longer, recall it easier, and integrate it more effectively when they understand the how and the why, not just the what. Exploring texts through different lenses (social, historical, ethical, political, cultural, psychological, personal) is an extremely effective way to help students move beyond first impressions and obvious interpretations.
3. C: The Continuum of Learning theory outlines predictable steps when learning a new language. No matter what the age and intelligence of the person, these are the general levels of mastery: silent/receptive or preproduction; early production; speech emergence; intermediate language proficiency; advanced learning proficiency.
4. A: Diversity in a society refers to the cultural characteristics found within the language, dress, arts and traditions of the aggregate group. There are differences in how individual groups are organized, their understanding of morality and the ways in which each group interacts both inside and outside their circle. Members of an ethnic group usually identify with a shared ancestry and are frequently bound by a common language, cultural heritage, religious beliefs, and behavior patterns.
5. D: Natural science is concerned with the natural world. Social science studies human behavior. Formal science is the systematic study of a specific area; it is essential to developing hypotheses, theories and laws used in other scientific disciplines. Applied science is using the results of scientific research in any of the natural, social and formal sciences and adapting it to address human needs.
