Aula 1
		1.
		Communication is an inherent human need, just like the need for food or shelter. It is through communication that humans are able to act and interact in their social world. It is possible because humans have:
	
	
	
	text
	
	
	language
		2.
		We understand that communication is a comprehensive interchange of meaning between individuals, through symbols. It means that communication is only possible if wwe have, at least:
	
	
	
	one person
	
	
	two people
		3.
		In the Business Dictionary, we find the following definition of __________________:
 
Two-way process of reaching mutual understanding, in which participants not only exchange (encode-decode) information, news, ideas and feelings but also create and share meaning. In general, communication is a means of connecting people or places.
This definition refers to:
	
	
	
	communication
		4.
		The word Communication comes from the Latin word Communicare, which means →share¿,→share¿,to become common¿. So, in order to communicate with a formal audience, the speaker should:
	
	
	
	Use informal language.
	
	
	Use whatever language he/she wants.
	
	
	Use slangs.
	
	
	Use the everyday language.
	
	
	Use formal language.
		5.
		Communication is something human. So, it can be done by:
	
	
	
	Verbal and nonverbal language.
		6.
		Human communication goes beyond the mere use of words and goes into the world of language, which is much more complex. So, we can say that:
	
	
	
	Communication can be either verbal or non-verbal.
		7.
		So, we understand that communication is a comprehensive interchange of meaning between individuals, through symbols. But why did we use the word symbols, instead of words? Because human communication goes beyond the mere use of words and goes into the world of language, which is much more complex. Communication can be either ________________or _______________. Regarding what you have just read about communication, choose the alterantive that best fulfills the blanks:
	
	
	
	verbal / non-verbal
		8.
		We understand that communication is a comprehensive interchange of meaning between individuals, through symbols. But why did we use the word symbols, instead of words?
	
	
	
	Because of the word language.
	
	
	Because of non-verbal language.

		2.
		First meeting and individual work are the two first steps of :
	
	
	
	quantitative research
	
	
	individual seminar
	
	
	qualitative research
	
	
	scientific research
	
	
	group presentation
		3.
		For a group presentation, the preparation requires both group and individual work. Choose the alternative which does NOT refer to a stept of seminar preparation:
	
	
	
	last meeting before the presentation
	
	
	group work
	
	
	medical care before presentation
		4.
		On a seminar presentation, after deciding on the bibliographical list, group members read the texts individually over the time agreed upon and record the most important parts of each one. This step is called:
	
	
	
	gramar topics
	
	
	group work
	
	
	first meeting
	
	
	individual work
		5.
		Read this:
Dolz et al (2004) define ___________________________ 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).
Which word best completes the blank?
	
	
	
	Research
	
	
	Seminar

		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).
	
	
	
	Seminar
		7.
		One of the most important advantages of the seminar is:
	
	
	
	If you are going to present a seminar on your own, the steps are basically the same.
	
	
	it can be very tiring for one person to present the whole topic by him/herself.
	
	
	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 `big day¿.
	
	
	the opportunity students are given to develop themselves both academically and personally.
		8.
		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 preparation for a seminar presentation begins a long time before the day of the presentation itself.
Aula 3
		1.
		READ the text below:
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?)
►The questions above are made by (choose the right option):
	
	
	
	Saussure
	
	
	Applied linguistics
		2.
		According to Widdowson (1989), ________________ knew about language, ________________made this knowledge available to English language teachers; the consequence was that language learning was improved. Choose the alternative that best completes the blanks:
	
	
	
	linguists / teachers
	
	
	teachers / applied teachers
	
	
	teachers / linguists

		3.
		Applied linguistics is a term that seems to have originated in the USA in the 1940s, and:
	
	
	
	It is the basis of science.
	
	
	It comes form Saussure theory only.
	
	
	It refers to a very basic way of teaching.
	
	
	It is the basis for theoretical linguistics.
	
	
	It refers to an interdisciplinary field of study which aims at investigating issues in the real world in which language is implicated.

		READ the text below:
''____________is a term that seems to have originated in the USA in the 1940s. It refers to an interdisciplinary field of study which aims at investigating issues in the real world in which language is implicated. In other words, 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.
		READ the text below:
Teachers operate in classrooms where they need to make instantaneous decisions regarding what and how to teach. Researchers, more often than not, work in universities, where a system of rewards prizes rigorous contributions to a theoretical understanding of issues. Teachers require and seek to develop ___________________ (that is, change theory into action); researchers endeavor to advance technical-theoreticalknowledge. This distinction, then, encapsulates the divide that often exists between the two. (ELLIS, 1998:39)
►Choose the alternative that best completes de previous blank:
	
	
	
	teacher knowledge
	
	
	school knowledge
	
	
	work knowledge
	
	
	practical knowledge
		6.
		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 correctly
	
	
	language mistakes
	
	
	language and education
		7.
		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
	
	
	Worry about the wrong structures
	
	
	Set out to investigate and understand the facts of language use;
		8.
		According to Brumfit (2001), It is The theoretical and empirical investigation of real-world problems in which language is a central issue. It referes to:
	
	
	
	grammar studies
	
	
	theoretical linguistics
	
	
	linguistics
	
	
	applied linguistics
Aula 4
		1.
		Ellis (1998) explains that the social world of a teacher and of a researcher are usually very different. He argues that...
_______________operate in classrooms where they need to make instantaneous decisions regarding what and how to teach. _________________, more often than not, work in universities, where a system of rewards prizes rigorous contributions to a theoretical understanding of issues. Teachers require and seek to develop practical knowledge; researchers endeavor to advance technical knowledge. This distinction, then, encapsulates the divide that often exists between the two. (ELLIS, 1998:39).
Choose the best alternative to fulfill the blanks respectively:
	
	
	
	teachers / researchers
		2.
		Nunan (2001) suggests that teachers might benefit considerably from reflecting on and examining their own practice systematically. It means that:
	
	
	
	Teachers never learn after college.
	
	
	Teachers should never stop research.
		3.
		When doing ______________, we consider phenomena that happen in our daily lives and think them over. We move away from them so that it is easier to reflect about and to get to know them beyond their mere appearances. However, doing research is not a simple process because it involves systematic and scientific approach and the application of specialist knowledge and skills.
Choose the alternative that best completes the blank:
	
	
	
	language teaching
	
	
	linguistics
	
	
	research

Mark the best option that completes the blanks, respectively:
	
	
	
	teachers - students
	
	
	students - teachers
	
	
	Teachers - researchers

		Depending on the type of research that is being carried out, qualitative and quantity research can be combined. The advantages of combining these two approaches might include:
	
	
	
	Research questions: How? Why?
	
	
	development of universal laws out of a static reality.
	
	
	confirmation of results;
		6.
		READ the text below:
We can say that the purpose of qualitative research is to understand and interpret social interactions, while the purpose of quantitative research is to test hypotheses, look at cause and effect, and make predictions.
 
►Choose the alternative that contains a characteristc of QUALITATIVE research:
	
	
	
	Aims at in-depth description.
		7.
		Read this:
In order to adapt themselves and their practice to the needs of a changing society and to improve the quality of their teaching, teachers should rethink their role in the classroom. In fact, instead of merely transmitting knowledge which is produced in universities by researchers, teachers should be able to reflect upon the subject they teach, adapt it and their teaching to their students´ needs, as well as produce knowledge themselves.
It means that teachers need to be kind of:
	
	
	
	researchers
		8.
		According to Brumfit (2001), research may be defined as a systematic process of inquiry that consists of three components. What are they?
	
	
	
	Data, a question and analysis of data
Aula 5
		1.
		Nunan (2011) argues that it is extremely important that research in the classroom is not carried out exclusively by outsiders, but by ____________ themselves.
	
	
	
	principals
	
	
	librarians
	
	
	teachers
		2.
		Considering types of research, read this:
It provides a more systematic means by which teachers can investigate the provisional specifications provided by theoretical-pedagogical research.
It refers to:
	
	
	
	Theoretical Research
 
	
	
	Theoretical Pedagogical research
 
	
	
	Pedagogical Research
 
	
	
	Action qualitative research

		In order to adapt themselves and their practice to the needs of a changing society and to improve the quality of their teaching, teachers should rethink their role in the classroom. In fact, instead of merely transmitting knowledge which is produced in universities by researchers, teachers should be able to reflect upon the subject they teach, adapt it and their teaching to their students¿ needs, as well as produce knowledge themselves. This illustrates teacher´s role as a:
	
	
	
	model
	
	
	researcher
		4.
		The goal of this type of research is to develop technical knowledge by addressing theoretical issues of potential relevance to teachers. It refers to:
	
	
	
	Action research
	
	
	Participatory research
	
	
	Pedagogical Research.
	
	
	Theoretical research
	
	
	Theoretical-pedagogical research
		5.
		It can be said that in a ____________class the students are more involved in the learning process than in the more traditional approach. Besides, since their talking time in the classroom is maximized through pair work and group work, they truly have a chance to develop their speaking and listening skills. Also, student-centered activities are usually enjoyable and stimulating, thus they keep students motivated and interested.
Choose the alternative that best completes the blank above:
	
	
	
	school-centered

		6.
		According to Ellis (1998), there are three types of research. Which of them implies the co-participation of teachers and researchers?
	
	
	
	Academic research
	
	
	Theoretical-pedagogical research
	
	
	Action research
	
	
	Classroom research

	principal-centered
	
	
	content-centered
	
	
	teacher-centered

		Richards (2003) lists a set of essential characteristics of qualitative research. Which of the items below IS NOT CORRECT?
	
	
	
	Focus on logic, numbers, and unchanging static data.
		5.
		The need to understand the environment and the nature of the phenomena that presents to our senses has always been present throughout human history. In their search for truth, people have made use of different means. These can be classified into three broad categories. One of these categories is:
	
	
	
	experience
		6.
		In order to deal with daily problems and situations, laypeople tend to rely heavily on experience and authority. However, when compared to the scientific-approach to problem-solving, it is clear to see that this common-sense knowing has severe limitations. This is mainly due to the fact that while experience deals with events that occur in a random and disorganized manner, research is :
	
	
	
	free and oriented
	
	
	oriented and controlled
	
	
	systematic and controlled.

As teachers, we invariably face problems in our professional careers and we must find ways of turning them into positive experiences. One method of doing this is through _______________. This method can be used in different settings and for a number of reasons. In fact, it is appropriate whenever specific knowledge is required for a specific problem in a specific situation. In other words, as long as there is a problem involving people, tasks and procedures or whenever some change is required, this method can provide useful outcomes.

		READ the text below:
The aim of professional people who take their profession seriously is invariably to progressively improve their practice. It is not different for language teachers. However, this improvement can only be achieved if teachers are willing to change their attitudes and behavior. In this case, one strategy these professionals can use in order to achieve this end is to carry out a type of research that is basically a way of reflecting on one´s teaching and changing future practice.

Teachers operate in classrooms where they need to make instantaneous decisions regarding what and how to teach. Researchers, more often than not, work in universities, where a system of rewards prizes rigorous contributions to a theoretical understanding of issues. Teachers require and seek to develop ___________________ (that is, change theory into action); researchers endeavor to advance technical-theoretical knowledge. This distinction, then, encapsulates the divide that often exists between the two. (ELLIS, 1998:39)

It makes all teachers kind of:
		
	
	coordinators
