← Language & CommunicationIf a First Nations language with few remaining fluent speakers is taught only through sporadic online lessons to diaspora youth, which consequence is most likely?
A)Full language revitalization within one generation
B)Native-like fluency development in most students
C)Limited pragmatic competence development, fragmented knowledge✓
D)Complete acquisition of ancestral cultural practices
💡 Explanation
Limited contact and context provided by sporadic lessons results in incomplete language acquisition, because pragmatic competence relies on extensive real-world interaction with native speakers. Therefore, fragmented knowledge is the likely outcome, rather than complete revitalization or native-like fluency, as these require immersion.
