Question relate to teaching skills and abilities:
In her book “Teaching Community” (2003), bell hooks claims that educators must work “so that the classroom is not a site where domination (on the basis of race, class, gender, nationality, sexual preference, religion) is perpetuated” and that it should be “a place that is life-sustaining and mind-expanding, a place of liberating mutuality where teacher and students together work in partnership”. This is in agreement with the Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCN) because it promotes the classroom as:

Question relate to teaching skills and abilities:
According to Motta-Roth (2008), the Critical Genre Pedagogy sees the process of teaching/ learning as situated. That means it’s necessary to contextualize content and syllabus based on educational, cultural, social, and political imperatives, connecting individual experience to social experiences as well as social historic conditions of production, distribution and consumption of texts in society. A good example of genre pedagogy in use can be seen when the teacher proposes:

Question relate to teaching skills and abilities:

Still in practical terms, focusing on lexical terms may be a challenge for the teacher and the student. Penny Ur (2012, p. 69) alerts teachers to the importance of revising vocabulary instead of testing students on it so as to “consolidate and deepen students’ basic knowledge”. It’s important to focus the revision on single-items as well as items in context, using a wide range of exercises, which means, for example:


I conducting dictations.

II having students brainstorm in groups.

III doing a quick bingo.

IV composing stories together.

V finding collocations on websites or dictionaries.


The alternative that best matches the exercises suggested above with their target language is:

Question relate to teaching skills and abilities:
In practical terms, focusing on a grammar topic may be a challenge for the teacher and the student. Using the Passive Voice as mere example, Larsen-Freeman (2003, p. 47) states that “the ultimate challenge of the passive voice is not form” because “although it is a grammatical form, it is not the form that presents the learning challenge”. In her example, focusing on form, teachers may mistakenly choose to introduce the passive as a transformed version of the active, implying they are interchangeable or that all passive sentences include the agent, which is definitely not the case. A good alternative to teaching through form could be to:

Question relate to teaching skills and abilities:

According to Larsen-Freeman (2003), it’s possible to assert that focusing on the dynamics of language (grammaring) is very important and it helps improve teaching/ learning abilities because:


I it allows teachers/ learners to understand language as having an organic dynamism that renders it simultaneously flexible (real-time) and stable (over-time).

II teachers/ learners tend to perceive language as an idealized, objectified, atemporal “thing” that can be easily understood by the examination of its parts, which is very limited.


Looking at I and II, the most appropriate conclusion is that:

Question relate to teaching skills and abilities:
Larsen-Freeman (2003, p. 34) asserts that “there is much more of concern in the teaching and learning of grammar than whether or not students produce grammatical forms accurately” and she goes on to say that “the complexity is partly captured by the fact that form is only one of three dimensions, all of which play a part in grammaring”. The other two dimensions she refers to are:

                    Women’s rights convention – Sojourner Truth


      One of the most unique and interesting speeches of the convention was made by Sojourner Truth, an emancipated slave. It is impossible to transfer it to paper or convey any adequate idea of the effect it produced upon the audience. Those only can appreciate it who saw her powerful form, her whole-souled, earnest gesture, and listened to her strong and truthful tones. She came forward to the platform and addressing the President said with great simplicity:

      "May I say a few words?" Receiving an affirmative answer, she proceeded: I want to say a few words about this matter. I am a woman's rights. I have as much muscle as any man and can do as much work as any man. I have plowed and reaped and husked and chopped and mowed, and can any man do more than that? I have heard much about the sexes being equal. I can carry as much as any man, and can eat as much too, if I can get it. I am as strong as any man that is now. As for intellect, all I can say is, if a woman has a pint, and a man a quart -- why can't she have her little pint full? You need not be afraid to give us our rights for fear we will take too much; -- for we can't take more than our pint will hold. The poor men seem to be all in confusion, and don't know what to do. Why children, if you have woman's rights, give it to her and you will feel better. You will have your own rights, and they won't be so much trouble. I can't read, but I can hear. I have heard the bible and have learned that Eve caused man to sin. Well, if a woman upset the world, do give her a chance to set it right side up again. The Lady has spoken about Jesus, how he never spurned woman from him, and she was right. When Lazarus died, Mary and Martha came to him with faith and love and besought him to raise their brother. And Jesus wept and Lazarus came forth. And how came Jesus into the world? Through God who created him and the woman who bore him. Man, where was your part? But the women are coming up blessed be God and a few of the men are coming up with them. But man is in a tight place, the poor slave is on him, woman is coming on him, he is surely between a hawk and a buzzard.
