The concept of "Funds of Knowledge," developed by Luis Moll and colleagues, challenges the deficit model often applied to minority families. How can an English teacher effectively apply this concept to strengthen the relationship between the school and the families of ESL students?

Michael Lewis, in his seminal work "The Lexical Approach," challenged the traditional grammar-translation dichotomy. According to the principles of the Lexical Approach, mark T for true and F for false statements:

(__)Language consists of grammaticalized lexis, not lexicalized grammar; therefore, the primary focus of teaching should be on multi-word chunks, collocations, and fixed expressions rather than isolated words + grammar rules.
(__)The distinction between vocabulary and grammar is invalid; instead, language is a continuum where fluency depends on the retrieval of pre-fabricated lexical items (chunks) from memory.
(__)Teachers should encourage students to analyze every sentence syntactically (parsing) to understand the underlying logic before attempting to speak, prioritizing accuracy over fluency.
(__)"De-lexicalized verbs" (e.g., have, get, do, make) are of low importance because they carry little meaning on their own, and teaching time should be spent on "content words" with rich specific meanings.

After analysis, choose the alternative that presents the correct sequence of the items above, from top to bottom:

Stuart Hall's "Encoding/Decoding" model challenges the linear transmission of media messages, suggesting that audiences actively interpret content based on their cultural backgrounds. In the context of an English class analyzing a news report, analyze the following statements regarding the three hypothetical positions from which decodings of a televisual discourse may be constructed.

I.The "Dominant-Hegemonic Position" occurs when the student takes the connoted meaning full and straight, decoding the message in terms of the reference code in which it has been encoded, accepting the preferred reading.
II.The "Negotiated Position" acknowledges the legitimacy of the hegemonic definitions to make the grand significations, but, at a more restricted, situational level, makes its own ground rules and operates with exceptions to the rule.
III.The "Oppositional Position" occurs when the student understands the preferred reading but rejects it entirely, decoding the message within an alternative frame of reference, often due to political or social disagreements.
