Experts agree that there is more involved to language learning than just the cognitive aspect.
Which of the following should we take into account as far as language learning is concerned?
		
	
	The success of a learning task is very much dependent upon the teachers¿ attitudes towards learning.
	
	Experts agree that motivation is a complex and powerful factor in  learning how to move around a city
 
 
	 
	Language learning also has an affective component.
	 
	Motivation is not a key element in the process of language learning. Students may develop  the ability of learning anything regardless of any affective component.
	
	Teachers evidence life-long learning.

	 2a Questão
	
	
	
	
	Dafei (2007) argues that there are three important levels at which students' control can be exercised. One of them refers to cognitive process.
Which of the following is not  adequate as far as cognitive process is concerned?
		
	
	Cognition is the process of acquiring knowledge through our thoughts, experiences, and senses.
	 
	The control over the cognitive process has nothing to do with the control over the learning content.
	 
	Whenever you see or hear something new, you go through a series of cognitive processes, which are the processes that result in learning.
	
	Cognitive learning refers to the psychology of learning.
 
 
	
	The first step in cognitive learning is paying attention. So in order to begin learning, a student must be paying attention to what they are experiencing.
	Respondido em 20/06/2019 14:22:15
	
Explicação:
Dafei (2007) argues that there are three important levels at which students¿ control can be exercised. These are: control over learning management, control over cognitive process and control over learning content.
These levels of control are interdependent, that is, they are mutually dependent.

People produce language, either orally or in written form, because they want to interact with their interlocutors. Therefore, there are some things they need to take into consideration before trying to convey a message: What are they speaking or writing about?; Who are they speaking or writing to?; Why are they speaking or writing about that topic?; Where are they speaking or writing about it?; When are they speaking or writing about it?.

	 2a Questão
	
	
	
	
	Why are listening comprehension exercises important?
		
	 
	Because they help learners to master the effective communication in a foreign language.
	
	Because they promote feeling of disappointment in the learners.
	 
	Because they are rarely part of tests in the English language.
	
	Because as they are usually easy types of exercises, learners tend to appreciate them.
 
	
	Because they do not necessarily help in communication.
	Respondido em 20/06/2019 14:26:39
	
Explicação:
Most learners have difficulty with listening comprehension exercises because of the sentence structures and vocabulary so they are of great relevance so as to help learners to master the effective communication in a foreign language.

	 5a Questão
	
	
	
	
	Listening and reading are called receptive skills because when doing these, learners do not need to produce language; instead, they receive language and understand the message (or they don¿t!), or to put it another way, they decode meaning from the discourse they hear or see.
It's important to note, however, that receptive is not the same as passive. In fact, there is active involvement of the listener/ reader in the complex processes of listening and reading. Let¿s now consider each of these skills in turn.
Listening is an oral language skill, i.e., when we speak of listening, we mean the ability to hear a piece of language and understand what we hear.
Based on the characteristics studied in our class seven about receptive skills, choose the comment which DOES NOT fit in the group.
		
	
	Learners decode meaning from the discourse they hear or see.

	Reading is a relevant ability which needs to be taken into account.
Read the following comments about it and choose the one which is inappropriate.
		
	 
	According to Kleiman (2004), the process of reading is regarded as passive due to the very reason that there are varied levels of knowledge interacting between themselves during the act.
	 
	According to Aebersold and Field (1997), it is difficult to define what reading is due to the fact that it is not a process easily understood or defined.
 
	
	It is argued that effective reading is judged not by reference to the accurate rendering aloud of a written text, but by strategies which the reader can be observed to draw on which may signal progress, even in the absence of accurate text decoding.
	
	Reading, for some, means reading words, and success is judged by the number of words which can be read out of context.
	
	For some researchers, successful reading is judged from the earliest levels, even by beginner readers, in terms of the ability to make sense of continuous text, beyond word level.

	 6a Questão
	
	
	
	
	How would you define the term grammar?
Which of the following is not an appropriate definition for it?
		
	
	Webstern dictionary defines gramar as the study of the classes of words, their inflections, and their functions and relations in the sentence.
 
 
	
	The term grammar has multiple meanings¿While these uses may differ in purpose and scope, they seek minimally to explain the same phenomena: how words are formed (morphology), and how words are combined (syntax).
	 
	Some grammars also include phonology and semantics, but the usual interpretation of grammar is limited to the structural organization of language.
	 
	Larsen-Freeman (2001) argues that it¿s  as simple as we might think. Grammar refers to the study of words, sentences, discourse, linguistics, phonology, computing, and anything else which envolves communication.
	
	A study of English grammar includes function words, such as frequently occurring articles, whose role is largely syntactic (i.e. not lexical since they may not have an inherent meaning).
	Respondido em 20/06/2019 14:27:33

First of all, getting to a definition of gramar is not that simple at all. Besides the study of `grammar¿ does not include computing.

	They don't need to devote attention to form → That means that when the learner¿s aim is to develop his/her accuracy, he/she needs to focus on the details He finds more relevant.
	
	What really matters is if you are good at vocabulary. You may even make mistakes as far as spelling and speaking are concerned this is of less importance.
 
 
 
	 
	They need to value accuracy → Learners should understand that if they are not accurate, their language might be unintelligible.
	
	They need to give emphasis to the development of communication, regardless of the fact that it follows Grammar rules or not.
	
	Emphasis to writing is basic if you want to reach accuracy. The other abilities are less important.
