Correct Response: B. Research suggests that at advanced stages of English language development, English language learners benefit most from exposure to and opportunities to use academic language in meaningful contexts. Engaging in ongoing authentic (real-life) academic conversations and writing in English would provide the students with purposeful opportunities for practicing and reinforcing new vocabulary and language structures. A, C, and D are incorrect because they all describe instructional activities that would be more beneficial to students at less advanced levels of English language proficiency.
