by Cliserio Cruz Martínez

What is the core aim of descriptivism in language study?

Describe how language is actually used in real contexts.

Teach standard grammar as the only model.

Set fixed rules for correct usage.

Which stance guides teachers to adapt to learners’ current language practices?

Structuralism

Descriptivism

Prescriptivism

Prescriptivism primarily focuses on:

Documenting language variation

Establishing norms and rules for language use

Describing language change over time

A key pedagogical implication of descriptivism is:

Reinforcing rigid grammar drills

Allowing learner variety and authentic language exposure

Ignoring learner errors entirely

Which approach is more likely to embrace dialectal differences in EFL classrooms?

Prescriptivism

Descriptivism

Neogrammarian reform

Prescriptivist pedagogy often emphasizes:

Learner-led language experimentation

Standard language forms and avoidance of nonstandard usage

Sociolinguistic variation in class

In a sociolinguistics MA context, descriptivism would prioritize:

Prescribing a single pronounciation standard

Documenting language in use across social groups

Enforcing academic English only

Which factor is least aligned with prescriptivism in the EFL context?

Correcting all nonstandard forms

Enforcing strict grammatical rules

Accepting multiple English varieties as legitimate

Pedagogical implication: prescriptivism may limit:

Adaptive strategies for diverse learners

Use of authentic materials

Teacher autonomy in assessment

Which statement best captures Descriptivism vs Prescriptivism in education?

Describe actual use; prescribe ideal forms

Ignore norms; teach only vocabulary

Describe ideal forms; document usage
