In the context of teaching English as a Lingua Franca (ELF), the concept of 'Intercultural Communicative Competence' (ICC) is essential. Analyze the assertions below regarding Byram's model of ICC:
I.'Savoir être' refers to the attitude of openness and curiosity towards other cultures and a willingness to suspend disbelief about other cultures.
II.'Savoirs' refers strictly to the knowledge of the grammar rules of the target language essential for accurate communication.
III.'Savoir apprendrefaire' involves the skills of discovery and interaction, the ability to acquire new knowledge of a culture and cultural practices.
Mark the option that presents only the correct statements.

Stephen Krashen's Monitor Model is pivotal in Second Language Acquisition theory. Regarding its five hypotheses, analyze the assertions below:
I.The Acquisition-Learning Hypothesis states that acquisition is a subconscious process, while learning is a conscious process resulting in 'knowing about' the language.
II.The Input Hypothesis suggests that learners progress when they receive 'comprehensible input' that is slightly above their current level (i+1).
III.The Affective Filter Hypothesis claims that high motivation, self-confidence, and low anxiety act as a filter that facilitates language acquisition.

Based on the theoretical discussion of Interlanguage (IL) presented, evaluate the statements below:

I. Interlanguage is viewed as an independent linguistic system that develops gradually between the learner’s L1 and the target language (TL), reflecting a continuum rather than a direct transfer from either language.
II. Fossilization refers to temporary, context-dependent errors that tend to disappear as learners receive more input, and therefore does not represent a permanent stage in IL development.
III. According to Selinker, IL forms arise from latent psychological structures (LPS) and may include influences such as language transfer, overgeneralization, strategies of learning, and strategies of communication.
IV. Variability in IL can manifest systematically or non-systematically, depending on linguistic, situational, or performance-related factors, meaning IL production is not always uniform.

Mark the alternative that indicates the correct combination of statements. 

To enhance students’ reading comprehension, the teacher provided four pre-reading questions about the movie review:

? Have you ever heard of cultural concepts from other countries that explain relationships or encounters?
? How do movies or stories from other countries help us understand different cultural beliefs?
? In some cultures, people believe that past experiences or past lives influence the present. Have you encountered this idea in books, movies, or history?
? Do you think knowing about another culture’s beliefs can change the way you interpret a movie or book? Why or why not?

Based on the National Curricular Parameters (PCNs), this activity primarily aims to develop:
