What is the essential focus of CALP in student language proficiency?

  1. Social interaction

  2. Evaluation and inference

  3. Multiple language articulation

  4. Academic language skills

The correct answer is: Academic language skills

The essential focus of CALP (Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency) in student language proficiency is on academic language skills. CALP is the ability to use language in the context of academic learning and thinking. It involves higher-order thinking skills, such as analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating information, and is crucial for students to succeed in academic settings. While social interaction, evaluation, inference, and multiple language articulation are important aspects of language development, when it comes to CALP, the primary focus is on developing the academic language skills necessary for academic achievement.
