A. Commission for Auditing and Lease Purchase

B. Civil Association of Liberal Partner

C. Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency

D. Committee for Amending Law Personnel

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Cognitive academic language proficiency (CALP) is a language-related term developed by Jim Cummins which refers to formal academic learning, as opposed to BICS. In schools today, the terms BICS and CALP are most frequently used to discuss the language proficiency levels of students who are in the process of acquiring a new language. These students typically develop proficiency in BICS well before they acquire a strong grasp of CALP or academic language. As a result, students may initially appear fully proficient and fluent, while still struggling with significant language gaps.
