Definition 1


“Consonant sounds are made by restricting or blocking the air flow in soe physical way, and this restriction, or release of the restriction, is what gives the consonant its characteristic sound. By contrast, vowels require the vocal tract to be open so that the air stream escapes unobstructed”.

(…)



Definition 2

       “Language teachers may ask themselves why should they bother writing plans for every lesson. Some teachers write down elaborate daily plans; others do the planning inside their heads. Preservice teachers say they write daily lesson plans only because a supervisor, cooperating teacher, or school administrator requires them to do so. After they graduate, many teachers give up writing lesson plans. However, not many teachers enter a classroom without some kind of plan. Lesson plans are systematic records of a teacher’s thoughts about what will be covered during a lesson”.

       “While a focus on grammar as a linguistic resource puts a more positive face on the role of grammar in writing instruction, any discussion of this role should include attention to learners’ writing errors, a significant concern for most L2 writing teachers and their students. For decades, studies and debates on the effectiveness of differing types of error correction and, indeed, of error correction at all, have been a major topic in the L2 writing literature. Central in recent debates include the exchanges between Truscott (1996, 2007), who believes that ESL research does not provide evidence showing that error correction improves writers’ accuracy over time, and Ferris (1999, 2011), who, while acknowledging that research base lacks controlled studies on this topic, nevertheless asserts that studies have indicated short-term improvement. Ferris (2011) has further pointed out that without attention to errors and explicit instruction, adult learners may fail to make progress in correcting patterns of errors in their L2 writing. Indeed, writing teachers in higher education contexts have found out that many of their multilingual students enter colleges and universities unaware of frequent error patterns in their writing”.

      “The procedure for teaching receptive skills generally starts with a lead-in. This is where we engage students with the topic of the reading and we try to activate their schema (plural schemata) (…). This is the knowledge that allows many British, American, West Indian, Pakistani and Indian people (for example) to make sense of headlines like England in six-wicket collapse (a reference to the game of cricket), whereas many Canadians would instantly understand what it means to be sent to the penalty box and why being sent there might give another team a power play (both terms come ice hockey, Canada’s national sport)”.

Q2384606 Inglês
De acordo com Almeida Filho, as décadas de 60 e 70 testemunharam um intenso movimento de ensino de línguas no Brasil. A ênfase nesse período foi justamente na busca do melhor método, das melhores técnicas e dos mais eficientes recursos para ensinar idiomas em ambientes formais (a sala de aula, o laboratório de línguas) a grupos de alunos. Nesse cenário, surge o movimento comunicativo de ensino de línguas, com suas bases teóricas definidas por grandes linguistas aplicados, entre os quais Wilkins e Widdowson. Assim, no final da década de 1970, os métodos comunicativos começaram a ganhar força nas salas de aula de língua inglesa.
