Ms. Goodsell is thinking about how she might help the students in her introductory French class learn to pronounce the word bonjour correctly. Which one of her thoughts below is most consistent with a social cognitive perspective of learning?

a. "If I explain the parts of the word—if I tell them that bon means "good" and jour means "day"—then they will have an easier time understanding why the word is pronounced the way it is."
b. "Maybe I should show them how I form my mouth and lips as I pronounce the word and then encourage them to imitate me."
c. "Maybe I should explain how certain letters and letter combinations are consistently pronounced differently in French than they are in English."
d. "I need to be patient. Correct pronunciation will come in time for those students who are really motivated to speak French."
