Raimes (1998) classifies the teaching practices of writing in L2 according to four main focuses: the form, the author, the content and the reader. Associate the column on the right side to the column on the left.
(1) This approach links writing to the content of the student's area of study, seeking to teach the specific rhetorical conventions of the subject.
(2) This approach understands that writing is influenced by the values, expectations and conventions of the discourse communities that will consume the written work.
(3) This proposal is centered on the final product, which should show the domain of certain grammatical, semantic and rhetorical.
(4) This proposal focuses on the process and use of cognitive strategies for producing texts. This is why it is called a "procedural" proposal, which emphasizes a pedagogy focused on the planning and development of ideas and the production of multiple drafts of a text, giving relevance to the recursive, non-linear character of writing.
( ) The form
( ) The author
( ) The content
( ) The reader

( ) Teaching English as a second language has to follow different concepts of language learning and abstract from the changes society goes through.
( ) Intertextuality is a relevant characteristic of the technological genres.
( ) Multimedia educational proposals contribute to a contextualized teaching and to a better understanding of the world.
Choose the alternative which CORRECTLY shows if the statements are true of false:
Considering classroom management and teacher-student interaction, write true (T) or false (F) to the following statements:
( ) Teacher talk is important to provide students with live target language input. ( ) Code switching is a teaching strategy used when teacher and students do not share the same L1.
( ) Classroom management has to do with decisions related to unexpected (but pertinent) questions, misbehaving students, technical problems with equipment or materials, among others.
( ) The one condition for interaction to happen in the language classroom is having negotiation of meaning between two or more speakers with the same proficiency level.
Choose the option with the correct sequence (top to bottom):

How Telecommuting Works
Telecommuting, which is growing in popularity, allows employees to avoid long commutes.
“Brring,” the alarm startles you out of a deep sleep. It’s 8 a.m. on Monday morning. Time to head to the office. You roll out of bed, brush your teeth and stumble your way to the kitchen to grab some coffee.
Moments later, you head to the office, still wearing your pajamas and fluffy slippers. Luckily for you, you don’t have to go far – you work at home. Telecommuting, or working at home, has grown in popularity over the last 20 years.
On an increasing basis, workers are saying “no” to long commutes and opting to work at home. In fact, the U.S. Census Bureau reports that the number of employees working from home grew by 23 percent from 1990 to 2000.
Telecommuting workers revel in making their own schedule – allowing them to schedule work around family and personal commitments. With the ready availability of technology tools, like the Internet and home computers, companies are more willing to let employees work from home.

When the market received the IBM PC bang in the mid-1980, Microsoft, thanks to IBM came up with MS-DOS. The runner up was Digital Research. So, in August 12, 1981 Microsoft starts working at MS-DOS. They started from a clone of QDOS for which they paid $50000, clone renamed as PC-DOS.
But MS-DOS got alive only thanks to COMPAQ who managed to clone the IBM BIOS and so the world got a new player on the computer manufacturers. Thanks to this, Microsoft began licensing its operating system for use on non-IBM PC clones and so MS-DOS (Microsoft Disk Operating System) entered the scene.
In 1985, Microsoft moves to Ireland and there they founded the first international production facility. And there, on November 20 Microsoft released its first retail version of Microsoft Windows, originally a graphical extension for its MS-DOS operating system. In August, Microsoft and IBM partnered in the development of a different operating system called 0S/2. OS/2 was marketed in connection with a new hardware design proprietary to IBM, the PS/2. Shortly afterwards on February 16, 1986, Microsoft relocated to Redmond, Washington. Around one month later, on March 13, the company went public with an IPO, raising US$61 million at US$21.00 per share. By the end of the trading day, the price had risen to US$28.00. In 1987, Microsoft eventually released their first version of OS/2 to OEMS.
The early versions of Windows were often thought of as just graphical user interfaces or desktops, mostly because they were started from MS-DOS and used it for file system services. However even the carliest 16-bit Windows versions already assumed many typical operating system functions, notably having their own executable file format and providing their own device drivers (timer, graphics, printer, mouse, keyboard and sound) for applications. Unlike DOS, Windows allowed users to execute multiple graphical applications at the same time, through co-operative multitasking, something which competitors (like GEM) did not offer. Finally, Windows implemented an elaborate, segment-based, software virtual memory scheme which allowed it to run applications larger than available memory: code segments and resources were swapped in and thrown away when memory became scarce, and data segments moved in memory when a given application had relinquished processor control, typically waiting for user input. Examples include Windows 1.0 (1985) and Windows 2.0 (1987) and its close relative Windows/286.
