What is the primary focus of BICS in language skills development?

Interactive discussions
Academic research
Social interactions
Evaluation and inference

The correct answer is: Social interactions

BICS stands for Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills, which are the everyday, face-to-face communication skills used in social situations. Therefore, the primary focus of BICS in language skills development is on social interactions. While interactive discussions may contribute to language development, they are not the primary focus of BICS. Academic research is not considered a language skill development method, and evaluation and inference are more advanced language skills that are not typically the primary focus of BICS.
