What cognitive ability is typically developed during the Intermediate Fluency stage?

Basic interpersonal communication skills
The ability to memorize vocabulary
Higher-order thinking skills using the new language
Simple word recognition

The correct answer is: Higher-order thinking skills using the new language

During the Intermediate Fluency stage, learners begin to develop higher-order thinking skills in the new language. At this point, they have typically grasped basic conversational skills and can communicate more complex ideas beyond simple phrases and vocabulary. This stage allows them to engage in more sophisticated discussions, make inferences, and analyze information. Upper-level competencies such as synthesizing materials, drawing conclusions, and evaluating different perspectives start to emerge, indicating a deeper understanding of the language's nuances. The student becomes capable of using the new language for problem-solving and critical thinking, which are essential skills in academic settings and everyday life. Other options, while they represent important language development aspects, do not encapsulate the cognitive advancements typical of this stage. Basic interpersonal communication skills, memorizing vocabulary, and simple word recognition are foundational skills acquired earlier in the language learning process and do not reflect the higher cognitive engagement seen during Intermediate Fluency.
