Abstract

To turn language learners into effective communicators in an occupational domain the four language modes (reception, production, interaction, and mediation) should be brought together. This paper considers the concept of multiple-choice questions as a mediator between receptive and productive or interactive activities, thus minimizing the number of steps and therefore transit time between different language uses, which is especially essential in short course conditions. Regarding the dualistic purpose of MCQs their specific features are revealed, which are also important for their construction procedure. An experimental set of items for an occupation-related text and a draft chain of activities leading learners from reception (reading comprehension) to production (short spoken output) are designed. Further steps to explore multiple-choice questions teaching potential as an intermodal activity are outlined.
