Aula 1 
		1.
		Segundo Widdowson (1998), o conceito de habilidade pode ser associado a treino, já que exigirá um determinado nível de desempenho. Outros apontam as habilidades como destrezas que requerem uma prática específica. As quatro habilidades são:
	
	
	
	oral, written, verbal and non-verbal
	
	
	verbal, non-verbal, text and context
	
	
	communication, listenning, writing and reading
	
	
	listening, verbal, non-verbal, speaking and communication
	
	
	listennig, speaking, reading and writing
		2) O foco em uma determinada habilidade comunicativa geralmente parte da necessidade e objetivo do aprendiz: falar, escrever, ler textos acadêmicos, etc. O fato é que sem praticar nenhuma dessas habilidades, você não irá muito longe. Por isso que, quando se quer falar fluentemente, deve-se exercitar, prioritariamente, a seguinte habilidade comunicativa:
	
	
	writing
	
	
	speaking
		3.

		Aula 2 – 1)Esta habilidade envolve o processo de receber e, ao mesmo tempo, de construir significados a partir de mensagens verbais. Refere-se ao processo de escutar algo com atenção minuciosa. Uma comunicação eficaz depende necessaria e primeiramente dela:
	
	
	writing
	
	
	speaking
	
	
	communication

		2.
		"Hear" and "listen" are verbs that we use to talk about our sense of hearing - using our ears. But they have important differences in meaning. In which sentence the verb is employed correctly?
	
	
	
	Hear this song. Can you understand the words?
	
	
	We went to hear the President's big speech last night.

		A finalidade geral de um curso ou escola, no que tange à aprendizagem de inglês como língua estrangeira, é aperfeiçoar as quatro habilidades (listening, speaking, reading e writing), reforçando o conteúdo com doses de gramática, vocabulário e fonética. Embora isso seja demasiadamente importante, não é o objetivo final. O objetivo de se estudar uma dada língua estrangeira é:
	
	
	
	Ler somente
	
	
	Falar e escrever
	
	
	Tornar-se capaz de usá-la
		6) A habilidade da fala, por exemplo, não pode ser ensinada separadamente. Ela usualmente está conectada à habilidade de :
	
	
	communication
	
	
	reading
	
	
	writing
	
	
	listenning
		7) De acordo com estudos (PCNs, 1998), para ser considerado BOM em uma língua devemos ser capazes de utilizá-la das mais variadas formas, ou seja, se você é um bom falante, mesmo que não goste de ouvir as pessoas, você deve procurar fazê-lo ainda que minimamente. Se você gosta de escutar as pessoas, mas não gosta de ler, estará perdendo chances de se aprimorar. Isso nos leva a crer que, para se comunicar com eficiência em uma dada língua estrangeira é necessário:
	
	
	ler bem
	
	
	ler somente
	
	
	praticar o mínimo possível
	
	
	ouvir e falar bem
	
	
	praticar muito
