Cohesion in English is achieved through grammatical and lexical devices, as categorized in the seminal work by Halliday and Hasan. Regarding the use of substitution and ellipsis as cohesive mechanisms in discourse, mark T for True or F for False:

(__) Substitution involves the replacement of one linguistic item by another, such as using "one" to replace a previously mentioned noun.
(__) Ellipsis can be defined as "substitution by zero," where a clause or part of it is omitted because it is understood from the context.
(__) Lexical cohesion is strictly limited to the repetition of the exact same word throughout a paragraph to maintain thematic unity.
(__) Anaphoric reference occurs when a pronoun refers forward to a noun that will only be introduced in the subsequent chapter of the book.

After analysis, choose the alternative that presents the CORRECT sequence:
- a) F, F, T, F.
- b) T, F, T, T.
- c) T, T, F, F.
- d) F, T, F, T.

One pathway for converting explicit to implicit knowledge is suggested by skill acquisition theory, a branch of cognitive science studying how people develop skills. In this theory, knowledge is first seen to be declarative (conscious); then, through practice and the application of learning strategies, declarative knowledge becomes proceduralized so that it becomes automatic. Automatic processes are quick and do not require attention or conscious awareness. Many second/ foreign language learners memorize and practice vocabulary items or “chunks” of language such as greetings, idioms or collocations. Frequent practice in using these forms helps the language items to become automatic in the sense that the learner can use them quickly and unconsciously.
Pienemann (1989) proposes that second/ foreign language learners will not acquire a new structure until they are developmentallly ready to do so. If there were no connection between the development of explicit knowledge about a grammar point and the eventual restructuring of the unconscious linguistic system to accommodate the point in the learner’s interlanguage, then, indeed, grammar instruction would not be of much use. However, it has been suggested that there is a connection, so grammar instruction is ultimately useful. Further, practice of language points can lead to automatization, thus bypassing natural order teachability considerations.
