In relation to text types and genres, classify the assertions below into true (T) or false (F):
( ) A genre is a type of text, defined by its purpose and intended audience and identified by its format, style and language. An advertisement, a letter, an e-mail and a fairy tale are all examples of genres.
( ) Text types, on the other hand, represent groupings of texts which are similar in linguistic form, irrespective of genre. For instance, Hammond and colleagues (1992) classified the genre recipe as being of the procedure text type, and the genre student essay as being of the expository text type.
( ) Let’s take the ‘genre’ of advertisements for example. The purpose of an advertisement is to persuade the reader to buy something. Therefore, the format is attractive with pictures and few words. The style is direct and persua-sive, and the language uses short, simple sentences with powerful vocabulary.
( ) Teaching genre features do not help set the context for reading but, for writing, knowing genre features provide learners with a starting point and ensure cohesion.
( ) Teachers should use a range of genres and text types that match learners’ age, interests and needs.
Choose the alternative with the correct sequence:

Read the abstract below, analyze the following statements and identify the correct ones:
“This paper discusses some of the assumptions behind the use of the terms international, global, foreign, additional language and lingua franca when referring to English. Such terminology is approached from the angle of the pedagogical praxis surrounding teaching-learning English in Brazilian public schools (GIMENEZ, CALVO & EL KADRI, 2011), based on Derrida’s and Foucault’s thoughts on text and discourse, taken here as our focal point when analyzing such terminology for English language teaching. The connotations attributed to English are analyzed in their occurrence in language policy documents, international academic journals and abstracts of papers presented at a Brazilian teacher’s education conference; the uses of the terms are contrasted with English as a foreign language (EFL), as has been traditionally used in Brazil. KEYWORDS: foreign language, additional language, English, language concept, poststructuralism.” (JORDÃO, Clarissa Menezes. ILA – ILF – ILE – ILG: Quem dá conta? RBLA, v.14, n.1, p.13, 2014)
I- An abstract summarizes, usually in one paragraph of 300 words or less, the major aspects of the entire paper. It is normally followed by a list of keywords.
II- Jordão’s paper aims at discussing the implications of teaching English in Brazil.
III- In Brazil, the term EFL is present in all official documents.
IV- Jordão analyzes the uses of the terms international, global, foreign, additional language and lingua franca when referring to English in language policy documents, international academic journals and abstracts of papers presented at a conference.

Read the paragraph below and choose the alternative that correctly relates the pronouns:
“Icebreakers are first-day activities that are meant to give students and the teacher an opportunity to get to know one another. They are helpful activities for taking a class full of strangers and turning them into friends (or at least acquaintances). However, icebreaker activities tend to be short and limited in the extent to which students can interact. How well can we really get to know someone during a 30-minute activity on the first day of class?”
(BARRETT, A. Extended Icebreaker. English Teaching Forum, v. 57, n. 3, p.33)
