What is the term used when adolescents focus on more than one activity at once, such as using their phone while studying?. Selective attention. Sustained attention. Divided attention. Concentrated attention.

Why do many students placed in college ESL programs become discouraged?. Their placement is based on reading and writing scores, not speaking. They expect to study in their native language. They fail the listening comprehension section. They do not enjoy writing tasks.
