In the All Together Now chapter, what action did the Spanish teacher take that violated the 'no English' rule?

• A. Gave extra credit for speaking Spanish
• B. Assigned detention for speaking English
• C. Told the class to stop pretending to not understand the homework assignments
• D. Canceled the class for the day

Answer: (C)

In a class that aims to speak only Spanish, the key is that English should not appear in how the lesson is described or discussed. In the All Together Now chapter, the Spanish teacher’s move to tell the class to stop pretending to not understand the homework assignments goes against that rule. That statement centers on understanding the work and uses English phrasing like “homework assignments.” Even if the aim seems pedagogical, it introduces English into the classroom conversation and signals a relaxation of the language boundary, which breaches the no-English guideline. The other actions would involve different kinds of disruption or enforcement, but this one directly involves using English in a setting where only Spanish should be used, making it the violation.
