Which technique involves a teacher and student discussing a piece of writing during drafting?

• A. Conferencing
• B. Cohesion
• C. Comprehensible input
• D. Content schemata

Answer: (A)

This item targets collaborative feedback during the drafting stage of writing. Conferencing is a one-on-one or small-group discussion between a teacher and student about a draft, focusing on ideas, structure, and language to guide revision. This direct, interactive exchange helps the writer rethink what to include, how to reorganize, and how to improve clarity with concrete guidance from the teacher. Cohesion is about how well ideas and sentences connect within the text, not the process of discussing the draft. Comprehensible input concerns providing understandable language to help learners acquire it, not the drafting conference itself. Content schemata refers to background knowledge about a topic, not a drafting discussion.
