said in ENG517 Quiz No. III Solution and Discussion:

In the process of ____________ the learner shows willingness to listen to others’ ideas and suggestions, so that they can be discussed and integrated into further actions like decision making.

Based on the description provided, none of the options you listed (Individual work, Singular task, or One man show) are correct. In fact, those three options represent the exact opposite of what is being described.

The process where a learner listens to others, discusses ideas, and integrates them into decision-making is a Collaborative or Participative process.

Why your options don’t fit:

• Individual work / Singular task: These imply working alone without seeking input or suggestions from others.
• One man show: This refers to a situation where one person makes all the decisions and does all the work without any external integration.

The Correct Concept: Collaborative Learning / Participative Decision Making

In MGT301 or educational psychology, this process is usually referred to as Collaborative Learning or Participative Decision Making.

If this is a multiple-choice question from a quiz and you must choose from a specific set of terms, the correct term is likely:
Teamwork or Group Discussion.

Key Characteristics of this Process:

• Openness: The learner is not defensive about their own ideas.
• Synergy: The idea that the “whole is greater than the sum of its parts” (1 + 1 = 3).
• Two-way Communication: Information flows back and forth rather than just from the top down.

If you have the full list of options from your quiz, please share them! I can help you identify the specific technical term your textbook is looking for.

Challenges to collaboration in a CALL context are problems that arise when the aim of the __________is to promote language learning at the computer.

9. Challenges to collaboration in a CALL context
   Answer: (b) Student
   The question asks who the aim of promoting language learning at the computer is for in a CALL (Computer-Assisted Language Learning) context. The primary beneficiary and focus of language learning initiatives are the students or learners. Therefore, challenges to collaboration arise when the aim is to promote language learning for the Student at the computer.

The learner’s behaviour of __________ is considered as non-verbal behaviour involved in non-verbal discourse strategies.

8. Non-verbal discourse strategies
   Answer: Silent reading
   Silent reading involves processing text internally without producing audible sound or physical non-verbal behaviors that are part of discourse strategies like gestures, posture, or facial expressions used during speaking or oral presentations. Therefore, it is considered as non-verbal behavior involved in non-verbal discourse strategies.

The _________ works as a central process in cooperative learning and confirms its social and democratic nature.

7. Cooperative Learning Process
   Answer: (a) making public
   The process of making public works as a central process in cooperative learning and confirms its social and democratic nature. This is because cooperative learning involves students working together in groups to achieve shared goals, which inherently requires the sharing of ideas, information, and results among group members and often with the wider class or community. This public sharing and discussion fosters social interaction, communication skills, and a democratic environment where all voices can be heard and valued.

6. Classroom activity for social and thinking skills
   Answer: © Collaboration
   An important activity in the classroom that encourages both social and thinking skills, mirroring the way learners often need to work in an academic setting, is known as collaboration. This approach involves individuals working together to achieve a common goal, fostering communication, problem-solving, and teamwork abilities. The other options (individual work, singular task, one man show) focus on solo efforts, which do not inherently promote social skills in the same way.
