Basturkmen (2006) examines links between theories about language learning and ESP. She analyses two ideas about conditions needed for language learning and how these ideas are reflected in ESP teaching and research. According to her observations on the matter, consider the information provided below regarding its correctness, and choose the CORRECT alternative. I. The ideas that the author examines are acculturation and input and interaction. II. Acculturation is based on social interactions and is premised on the idea that ESP learners need to be in close proximity or contact with their target discourse communities. III. The provision of sufficient linguistic input is the only prerequisite the author considers for language learning.

“As dúvidas dos alunos são respondidas pelos colegas e deixam de ser responsabilidade exclusiva do professor. Da mesma forma, o professor não é o único a sugerir fontes de informação ou a indicar tarefas. Há uma troca entre os aprendizes e o professor também aprende com seus alunos.” (Paiva 2001, p. 272). Outras vantagens do ensino virtual frente à sala de aula tradicional são

Sometimes a sentence is not understood by the reader although the vocabulary is known. This may happen because the sentence is difficult to unravel syntactically. There are a number of reasons why a sentence may be difficult to understand such as the use of complex noun groups, nominalizations, participial phrases, and subordination. Considering these examples, all the following alternatives are correct, EXCEPT:

According to the text, students can

Variation is an important concept when learning a second/foreign language. Formality x informality; spoken x written language; impersonal x tactful x familiar styles; literary or elevated language, and geographical x national varieties are all types of language variation. The correspondence between type of variation = example is CORRECT in alternative 30

In teaching reading, research has contributed to identify that bottom-up procedures can help learners enhance their top- down text processing skills. A framework for teaching reading in three phases – pre-reading, during-reading and after- reading – is the basis for developing reading skills as part of the second/foreign language learning process. Typical activities in the pre-reading phase DO NOT include

According to Prabhu (1987), the use of the mother tongue in task-based reasoning-gap activities is

According to Kumaravadivelu (1994), teachers should follow 10 principles from his strategic framework that includes, among them, maximizing learning opportunities and activating intuitive heuristics. About maximizing learning opportunities, it is CORRECT to state that

“Adults and adolescents can ‘acquire’ a second language” (Lightbown 2000, p. 439). In the sentence above, the word acquire is used to refer to

Interlanguage and developmental sequences are fundamental to understand second/foreign language learning. Teachers should understand these concepts because they can provide a lot of information on learners’ progress. To gather accurate information on progress requires that teachers pay attention to their learners’

Ellis (2008) discusses ten principles that should guide teachers to promote “instructed second language acquisition”. He also provides teaching suggestions for each of the ten principles. This is one of his suggestions: “Ensure that learners are developmentally ready to acquire a specific target feature. However, this is probably impractical as teachers have no easy way of determining what individual students know. It would necessitate a highly individualized approach to cater to differences in developmental level among the students” (p. 3). This suggestion is given to put principle __________ into practice

Para algumas pessoas “o papel do livro didático é magistral... É usado frequentemente como um programa de ensino: o que está no livro é ensino; o que não está, não é nem ensinado nem testado” (Higgins 1988, p. 62). Tal compreensão do livro didático está ultrapassada porque hoje seu papel é o de 23

As expressões ‘feel free’, ‘make a cup of coffee’, ‘do the homework’, ‘draw up a contract’, ‘set a price’ e ‘conduct negotiations’ são exemplos de

“Aprendemos a moldar nossa fala às formas do gênero e, ao ouvir a fala do outro, sabemos de imediato ... a dada estrutura composicional prever-lhe o fim, ou seja, desde o início, somos sensíveis ao todo discursivo ... Se não existissem os gêneros do discurso e se não os dominássemos, se tivéssemos que criá-los pela primeira vez, no processo da fala, se tivéssemos de construir cada um de nossos enunciados, a comunicação verbal seria quase impossível.”

(Bakhtin 1992, apud Koch e Elias 2006, p. 105-106). Esse trecho implica a existência de uma competência

About the uses of the present perfect, it is INCORRECT to say that it is used to express actions of

English makes a distinction between major and minor word-classes. The alternative in which the correspondence between words and word class is INCORRECT is

Listening is made difficult given the characteristics of spoken language. Of the many traits that have been identified as affecting the processing of speech, learners initially attribute their comprehension difficulties to the

Opinion-gap activities have a limitation attributed to its

A syllabus has roles NOT associated to that of a/an

“Although the purpose of such [pedagogic] framework is to help teachers become autonomous decision makers, it should, without denying the value of individual autonomy, provide adequate conceptual underpinnings based on current theoretical, empirical, and pedagogic insights so that their teaching act may come about in a principled fashion”. (Kumaravadivelu 1994, p.31) When the author mentions principled fashion, he is referring to

According to Lightbown, already in 1985 it was possible to identify the beginning of a divide in SLA research – those who focused on theoretical issues and those whose interest rested on answering pedagogical questions. Yet, in spite of different specific goals, SLA researchers share some common goals (Lightbown 2000, p. 437-438). The unifying goals in those researchers’ agenda aim to identify and better understand the issues below, EXCEPT

According to Ellis (2008, p. 2) “in the view of most researchers, competence in a second language is primarily a matter of implicit knowledge”. Implicit knowledge has these specific characteristics, EXCEPT

According to Songhori, “like any other model/approach, however, Munby’s model is not without its critics ... West (1994: 9- 10) mentions the shortcomings of the Munby’s model in terms of four headings” (2008, p. 8). Among the limitations of Munby’s model, ______ is NOT one of them.

According to Songhori (2008) the different approaches to investigating needs include - target situation, strategy or learning needs, present situation, deficiency, means, register, discourse, and genre analyses. He refers to Dudley-Evans and St. John’s (1998) model “which encompasses all the above-mentioned approaches” (Songhori, 2008, p. 20) and includes analyses of the environmental situation; personal information about learners; language information about learners; learner's lacks; learner's needs from course; language learning needs; professional information about learners; how to communicate in the target situation (Songhori, 2008, p. 21). Select the alternative with the CORRECT correspondence between Songhori’s and Dudley-Evans and St. John’s areas of

investigating needs.

“Sökmen [(1997)] menciona quatro tipos de atividades de elaboração semântica” (Tomitch 2009, p. 128). A descrição: “envolve a apresentação de uma palavra aos aprendizes e estes se engajam então numa associação livre onde verbalizam palavras relacionadas que lhes vêm à memória, organizando, logo a seguir, as listas de palavras em um diagrama” (Tomitch 2009, p. 128) se refere à atividade de
