The disadvantage of presenting a seminar individually is that:

is the funniest way for knowing people.

that there¿s going to be a lot of exchange between all the group members and it might lead you to think about things you might not have thought and have ideas you might not have had if you were working by yourself

it can be very tiring for one person to present the whole topic by him/herself.

you will be the only person responsible for the entire presentation and you will not have to worry about your partners¿ performance.

The advantage of presenting a seminar individually is that:

you will be the only person responsible for the entire presentation and you will not have to worry about your partners´s performance.

there´s going to be a lot of exchange between all the group members and it might lead you to think about things you might not have thought

it can be very tiring for one person to present the whole topic by him/herself.

the preparation requires both group and individual work.

when it´s a group seminar, the presentation might be quite inconsistent, especially if the group members did not meet before and have not agreed upon what each person has to do and in what order
Gabarito Comentado

2.
Dolz et al (2004) define the __________________as: ... um gênero textual público, relativamente formal e específico, no qual o expositor especialista dirige-se a um auditório, de maneira estruturada (explicitamente), para lhe transmitir informações, descrever-lhe ou explicar alguma coisa (2004:218).

Why is it important to follow all the stages of a presentation?

it´s ok to have only meeting before the presentation, there usually isn¿t much to do.

there´s going to be a lot of exchange between all the group members and it might lead you to think about things you might not have thought

it can be very tiring for one person to present the whole topic by him/herself.

to avoid the risk of not knowing what to do next during the seminar.

as long as each person knows what his/her responsibilities are, it´s ok not to have meetings.

5.
In order to guarantee a productive research and optimize the presentation of a seminar, there are some steps that need to be followed. One of this steps is:

the word seminarium, comes from the also Latin word semen which means seed.

The word seminar comes from the Latin word seminarium, which means nursery.

as long as each person knows what his/her responsibilities are, it¿s ok not to have meetings.

The preparation for a seminar presentation begins a long time before the day of the presentation itself.

6.
One of the most important advantages of the seminar is:

Whether you are giving a presentation individually or in a group, the stages to be followed are the same.

If you are going to present a seminar on your own, the steps are basically the same.

In case you have any questions about the content of the seminar or needs a hand with the seminar preparations, it¿s a good idea to talk to someone who can assist you before the bigday¿.

it can be very tiring for one person to present the whole topic by him/herself.

the opportunity students are given to develop themselves both academically and personally.

It refers to an interdisciplinary field of study which aims at investigating issues in the real world in which language is implicated.

It is the basis of science.

It refers to a very basic way of teaching.

It is the basis for theoretical linguistics.

2.
In order to avoid misjudgments and
serious mistakes, applied linguists need to follow some steps that will ensure these professionals will come up with solutions in as informed and rational way as possible. One of these steps is:

there are a number of situations in which decisions about language need to be made.

Set out to investigate and understand the facts of language use;

Set out to write down all the theoretical mistakes upon language studying.

The theoretical and empirical investigation of real-world problems in which language is a central issue.

applied linguists set out to investigate both educational and social problems, and make decisions about the best course of action to take in dealing with them.

5.
The scope of applied linguistics is very wide and vague due to the fact that language is implicated not only in educational matters, but in much of our daily lives. Actually, there are a great number of important daily activities that depend on our language ability to be performed, and the others that do not, are often developed and enhanced through it. Choose one area that does NOT belong to the scope of Applied Linguistics:

language and education;

the history of nations

language, work and law;

language usage

language information and effect.
Gabarito Comentado

6.
According to Cook (2003):
In __________________, applied linguistics abandons its apparently neutral stance and aligns itself more explicitly with political action. It becomes intrinsically critical in the sense of being politically committed and challenging. The proponents of CALx argue that the discipline does not cease to be rational or factual; on the contrary, it becomes more rational by acknowledging the inevitable.

The scope of applied linguistics is very wide and vague due to the fact that language is implicated not only in educational matters, but in much of our daily lives. Actually, there are a great number of important daily activities that depend on our language ability to be performed, and the others that do not, are often developed and enhanced through it. Cook (op cit), in an attempt to delimit the scope of applied linguistics, presents the following areas as the main areas of concern for applied linguists:

writing mistakes

language as a system

writing correctly

language and education

language mistakes
In order to avoid misjudgments and serious mistakes, applied linguists need to follow some steps that will ensure these professionals will come up with solutions in a way as informed and rational as possible. One of these steps is:

Worry about the rjght and wrong structures

Check the regularities of a system

Set out to investigate and understand the facts of language use;

Worry about the wrong structures

Check the Language as a system

4.
According to Davies (1999), since language is everywhere, this delimitation protects applied linguistics from being regarded as ¿the science of everything¿. The British Association for Applied Linguistics (BAAL) claims the following areas as their main concern:

Langauge effects

Language teaching

Applied Phonetics

Applied Texts

Langauge Facts
Gabarito Comentado

5.
What language skills should children attain beyond basic literacy? (And what is basic literacy anyway? Reading and writing, or something more?) Should children speaking a dialect be encouraged to maintain it or steered towards the standard form of language? (And if so, how is that standard form decided and by whom?) In communities with more than one language which ones should be used in schools? (And does every child have a right to be educated in the language they use at home?) These are questions made by:

Saussure

Applied linguistics

text linguistics

generative grammar

theoretical linguistics

The scope of applied linguistics is very wide and vague due to the fact that language is implicated not only in educational matters, but in much of our daily lives. Actually, there are a great number of important daily activities that depend on our language ability to be performed, and the others that do not, are often developed and enhanced through it. Cook (op cit), in an attempt to delimit the scope of applied linguistics, presents the following areas as the main areas of concern for applied linguists:

language mistakes

language as a system

writing correctly

writing mistakes
language and education
