Hello, Allan
How are you?
I have a question about advantage of eliciting.
In a video, you said many things of advantages but I wonder whether eliciting focuses students' attention.
I think it would be possible.
And I am wrong in module 6 Q6 but I don't understand why the correct answer is "False"
Q. "Language follows rules and therefore it is often difficult to get students to guess unknown words and structures."
I hope your reply.
Have a nice day^^

Hi Hye Won Lee,

Yes, I agree with you.  I believe that another advantage of eliciting is that it does grab students' attention.  Now, when it comes to question about module 6, question 6, the reason why you're wrong is that while language follows rules of course, it is not always difficult to get students to guess unknown words and structures.  Remember that there are lots of words and structures that students might know, or 'half' know, and as long as we do a good job of eliciting, it is not that difficult to get students to guess unknown words and structures.

Well, I hope that makes sense, and if not just post again and I'll try to get back to you as soon as I can.  Oh, and sorry that it took me so long to respond to you. 

Have a great day!
