		By 1966, there was an important spread of English language teaching all over Brazil. This was due to:
	
	
	
	a-      the arrival of foreign teachers in the country
	
	
	a-      the new theories about foreign languages learning
	
	
	a-      the American movies presented in the country
	
	
	a-      Brazilian government incentives towards English learning
	
	
	a-      the franchising system
	
	
	
	 
		
	
		2.
		There were two moments in Brazil which changed the way people viewed the English language in 1930 and 1935. They were:
	
	
	
	a-      Brazil became a wonderful place for sightseeing and radical sports.
	
	
	a-      Brazil was viewed as a strategic point and as a strategic necessity with regard to a possible war in Europe.
	
	
	a-      Brazil was viewed as a strong economical and educational force.
	
	
	a-      Brazil offered both precious stones and wood.
	
	
	a-      Brazil was viewed as a center for historical and biological studies.

		We know that in 1808 there was a widespread interest in the English language in Brazil. That happened because England became a major--------------------------of Brazil in 1808.

		Mark the only option which is not a consequence of studying English asa foreign language in a globalized world:
	
	
	
	learning English also means participating in the country culture
	
	
	english has the same prestige as French as foreign languages
	
	
	the language is widespread around the world

	improvee teacher´s academic formation at universities
	
	
	convince students that they do not need to learn foreign languages because they will never travel abroad
	
	
	recognize that foreign languagesare not as important as subjects like Maths and Portuguese
	
	
	believe that learning foreign languages woud be harmful to the mantainance of national values

		In order for the scaffolding to be effective, if a child asks a question about a particular topic, the adult may first ask the child, "Well, what do you, think about that?" Once the adult knows what the child thinks, he can 
	
	
	
	decide which ideas to confirm and which ones to extend

	e- refers to the language produced by learners, both as a system which can be described at any one point as resulting from systematic rules

		In recent years has been on the development of classroom tasks and activities which are consonant with what we know about processes of second language acquisition, and which are also in keeping with the dynamics of the classroom itself. By reading the previous statement you can infer 
	
	
	
	b- That´s not possible because tasks and activities are to found in manuals
	
	
	c- That´s not always true because choosing an approach will be enough
	
	
	a- That´s true if you find a method which suits your students needs
	
	
	e- That´s not true because teachers should not use these tools to keep their students silent.
	
	
	d- That´s true because there´s not a perfect method therefore teachers should be responsible for their choices
	
	
	
	 
		
	
		2.
		Proponents of these methods believe that if learners can be encouraged to adopt the right attitudes, interests and motivation in the target language and culture, as well as in the learning environment in which they find themselves, then successful learning will occur, and that if these affective factors are not right, then no set of techniques is likely to succeed. 
	
	
	
	b- The proponents follow the communicative tradition
	
	
	d- The proponents follow the post method era tradition
	
	
	a- The proponents follow the collaborative tradition
	
	
	c- The proponents follow the cognitive code learning tradition
	
	
	e- The proponents follow the humanistic tradition

	the teachers´personalities

		The statement that ther is no perfect method leads to the idea that
	
	
	
	teachers must be guided by other people outside the classroom
	
	
	teachers are responsible for the choice of strategies and ways of learning/teaching
	
	
	methods are worried about individual needs
	
	
	methods are essential because they were chosen by coordinators
	
	
	students must learn languages alone

		Read the text below:
¿In the behaviourist view, language is elicited by a stimulusand that stimulus then triggers a response. The response in turn then produces some kind of reinforcement, which, if positive, encourages the repetition of the response in the future or, if negative, its suppression¿.

		"Reflective teaching means looking at what you do in the classroom, thinking about why you do it, and thinking about if it works - a process of self-observation and self-evaluation".
https://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/article/reflective-teaching-exploring-our-own-classroom-practice
Based on the information above, we can state that, in a reflective process, you start recognizing that you and your students:
	
	
	
	Are key persons in the learning environment.
	
	
	Have different levels of importance: teachers are more important.
	
	
	Must follow what pedagogical coordinators and directors plan.
	
	
	Are part of different processes: teachers reflect and students act.
	
	
	Should not work together because only teachers know what to do.
	
Explicação: 
Reflective teaching is therefore a means of professional development which begins in our classroom.
By collecting information about what goes on in our classroom, and by analysing and evaluating this information, we identify and explore our own practices and underlying beliefs. This may then lead to changes and improvements in our teaching.
This reflective processo involves both teachers and students.

	People who adopt the English language as a second language create their own intellectual property and export goods and services to other countries.
	
	
	People who adopt the English language as a second language believe they can express their own values and identities.
	
	
	The English usage in the next century will not locate the native speakers and native-speaking countries at the centre of the global use of English.
	
	
	Only those who speak English as native speakers will be able to have a successful interaction with people in other countries.
	
	
	There is a growing assertiveness among countries adopting English as a second language that English is now their language.

His teacher has revised the first and second conditionals in a previous lesson and today he is going to be exposed to sentences in the third conditional.

		Pedro Miranda is a very diligent young teacher. He has been teaching English for two years and uses institutionalized English language learning based on culture-specific prescriptive norms. You can say
	
	
	
	he is wrong because that may result in establishing them as auxiliary members of the culture they teach, something not in harmony with their own self-image.
	
	
	he is right because he has to present to his students pieces of information which make part of his beliefs system
	
	
	he is right because students must recognize from the beginning of their studies there is a superior culture than theirs.
	
	
	he is wrong because he should not consider cultural aspects as parts of his lessons.
	
	
	He is right because he has to follow procedures which are institutionalized.

		Peirce developed a semiotic theory that is at once general, triadic and pragmatic. Mark the statement which is not correct
	
	
	
	It´s pragmatic because it takes into consideration the context in which signs are produced and interpreted
	
	
	It´s triadic because it brings two terms into relation: the sign or representamen and the interpretant
	
	
	It´s general because it includes all of the components of semiotics
	
	
	It´s triadic because it is founded upon three philosophical categories: firstness, secondness and thirdness
	
	
	It´s general because it takes into consideration emotional, practical and intellectual experience

		Read the text below:
Peirce's  Theory is an account of signification, representation, reference and meaning. Although sign theories have a long history, Peirce's accounts are distinctive and innovative for their breadth and complexity, and for capturing the importance of interpretation to signification. For Peirce, developing a thoroughgoing theory of signs was a central philosophical and intellectual preoccupation.
