Scenario Response 1

Brain-based Theory seems to be the ideal theory to apply when approaching this particular student. Partially because it directly discusses students having "silent stages" within its hypothesis on acquisition/learning ("they listen more than produce"), and partially because it is the most extensive theory discussed, both in this module as well as module one (only there the five hypotheses were referred to as elements of Innatist theory, so I presume "brain-based" theory is just an expansion of those. 

I would refer to the instruction tactics described in "stage one" of Language Acquisition. It's pretty obvious it is the necessary stage; it directly covers students in their silent phase. It states that students "take in the new language silently...while they don’t speak it, they are assimilating it." I would differentiate learning by bringing the student into a small group setting where I can read-aloud to the student. In that scenario, the student could still interact with native speakers, but I could assist by paraphrasing the texts into more comprehensible forms.
