One of Asher's three hypotheses is that language learning should have:
AHeavy rote practice
BFrequent error correction
CWriting before speech
DNo stress of any kind
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. No stress of any kind
1. Asher made three hypotheses from watching children.
2. First, language is learned primarily by listening; second, learning must engage the right hemisphere.
3. Third, learning should not involve any stress.
4. Rote practice, frequent correction and early writing would add stress.
**Why not the others:** Heavy rote practice, frequent correction and early writing all add stress or ignore listening.
