TEFL Course Module Practice Question

Question

Hi Everyone,I hope this is in the right place and someone can help me!I am busy with a TEFL 120 hour course, and I have come across a practice question which I keep getting told is "incorrect".The question is: Out of the following speaking exercises, which are designed to improve accuracy? Choose all that apply:The options are: A. Word and sentence stressB. Language for asking for clarification politelyC. Informal language for greetingD. Language for suggesting and recommendingE. Using conjunctions and past tenses in storiesF. Distinguishing minimal pairs of soundsG. Using intonation to show doubtH. Taking part in discussionsI. Getting your partner to agree with youJ. Telling storiesQ. Intonation in tag questionsM. Interrupting politely I originally chose: A, D, E, F and then I have tried A, F, H, J and then A & H, then F & J, then F, H, J then A, H, J then B, D, E, H, J then B, D, M then A, E, G and lastly A, B, D, G, E and I have selected them all as well. The next question which is about fluency and has the same selection is correct with H & J which leads me to believe that H & J would not be accuracy at all.  Please could someone help me with the correct combination as I understand what accuracy is, but I don't understand why the answers I have tried are all wrong. Thank you.

It seems to me that you first need to define what accuracy means in this context.

eg correct grammar?

eg correct pronunciation?

eg correct vocabulary?

eg correctly expression of ideas?

eg all of the above?

First, I'm not really qualified to answer such a question; I don't know for sure the correct answer. I just would like to write my perspective, based on my own understanding. As long as you already have tried several times with the same result, I don't think it would be harmful to try with you. After reading the question, I noticed that the choices you chose are different from the ones I would choose. I feel that you strongly stick with some choices that I wouldn't choose. But maybe that because of your depending on what you have studied in that course.

The options are:
A. Word and sentence stress
B. Language for asking for clarification politely
C. Informal language for greeting
D. Language for suggesting and recommending
E. Using conjunctions and past tenses in stories
F. Distinguishing minimal pairs of sounds
G. Using intonation to show doubt
H. Taking part in discussions
I. Getting your partner to agree with you
J. Telling stories
Q. Intonation in tag questions
M. Interrupting politely I originally chose: A, D, E, F and then I have tried A, F, H, J and then A & H, then F & J, then F, H, J then A, H, J then B, D, E, H, J then B, D, M then A, E, G and lastly A, B, D, G, E and I have selected them all as well.

(A) In some languages, this option is crucial which means that if you don't care about, you would definitely be inaccurate or even misunderstood. So, it has a direct relationship with being accurate. In English, I always thought it's not that important until I found out that it should be considered. So, I would choose this option.

E. Using conjunctions and past tenses in stories.

I would certainly choose this option too. Based on my observation, when I write/read/tell something without using conjunctions and without considering the tense, it would be chaotic and inaccurate. Some times, I have a problem with using the correct tense in English. Imagine if someone reported someone else's speaking in the present while it happened in the past. It would be against accuracy.

G. Using intonation to show doubt.I would choose this option too.

F. I don't understand this concept so, I wouldn't choose it because of that.

Q. Intonation in tag questions. I would choose this option also.

Again, all what I wrote is based on my own understanding. I don't claim to be the answer they want.
