TEXTO I
English for Specific Purposes
English for specific purposes (ESP) refers to language research and instruction that focuses on the specific communicative needs and practices of particular social groups. Emerging out of Halliday, Macintosh, and Strevens’ (1964) groundbreaking work nearly 40 years ago, ESP started life as a branch of English language teaching, promising a stronger descriptive foundation for pedagogic materials. In the years since, ESP has consistently been at the cutting-edge of both theory development and innovative practice in applied linguistics, making a significant contribution to our understanding of the varied ways language is used in particular communities. Drawing on a range of interdisciplinary influences for its research methods, theory, and practices, ESP has consistently provided grounded insights into the structures and meanings of texts, the demands placed by academic or workplace contexts on communicative behaviors, and the pedagogic practices by which these behaviors can be developed.

A professora Elza levou sua turma do 4° ano a uma visita ao Museu Histórico Municipal. Lá, eles conheceram a história de sua cidade, de seus personagens importantes e as construções do passado. No retorno à escola, ela sugeriu aos alunos que construíssem uma narrativa sobre o que viram, na linguagem que mais lhes aprouvesse - prosa, poesia, desenho, pintura etc.
De acordo com o disposto no Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente - ECA, a professora agiu em consonância ao artigo:
Read the excert from HUTCHINSON & WATERS (1987) about the ESP origin:
“As with most developments in human activity, ESP was not a planned and coherent movement, but rather a phenomenon that grew out of a number of converging trends. These trends have operated in a variety of ways around the world, but we can identify three main reasons common to the emerge of all ESP.”
Taking into consideration HUTCHINSON & WATERS assumptions, what are the three main reasons for ESP emergence?
According to BROWN (2007):
“As students work together in pairs and groups, they share information and come to each others’ aid. They are a ‘team’ whose players must work together in order to achieve goals successfully.”
Taking into consideration the above passage it is possible to state that the authors refer to
According to Anthony’s model, approach is the level at which assumptions and beliefs about language and language learning are specified; method is the level at which theory is put into practice and at which choices are made about the particular skills to be taught, the content to be taught, and the order in which the content will be presented; technique is the level at which classroom procedures are described (RICHARDS and RODGERS, 2001).
Richards and Rodgers (2001) criticism concerning Anthony’s (1963) definition of approach, method and technique which resulted in the authors new model resides in:
Read the excerpt from Anthony (1963) apud Richards and Rodgers (2001):
“…An approach is a set of correlative assumptions dealing with the nature of language teaching and learning. An approach is axiomatic. It describes the nature of the subject matter to be taught… …
... Method is an overall plan for the orderly presentation of language material, no part of which contradicts, and all of which is based upon, the selected approach. An approach is axiomatic, a method is procedural.
Within one approach, there can be many methods…”
Considering the excerpt and the nature of approaches and methods in English teaching, it is correct to say that:
Given that communicative competence is the goal of a language classroom, instruction needs to point toward all its components: organizational, pragmatic, strategic, and psychomotor. Communicative goals are best achieved by giving due attention to language use and not just usage, to fluency and not just accuracy, to authentic language and contexts, and to students’ eventual need to apply classroom learning to previously unrehearsed contexts in the real world (BROWN, 2007).
Considering Communicative Competence as a reference, it is correct to state that:
The aim of this particular model is to provide a coherent framework for the integration of the various aspects of learning, while at the same time allowing enough room for creativity and variety to florish. The model consists of four elements: input, content focus, language focus, task (HUTCHINSON and WATERS,1987).
Hutchinson and Waters (1987) present a material design model based on four elements: input, content, language and task. According to the authors, the primary focus of the unit is:
[this domain] deals with the way in which utterences are interpreted in context, and the ways in which the utterences of a particular sentence in a certain context may convey a message that is not actually expressed in the sentence and in other contexts might not have been conveyed. (HUDDLESTON and PULLUM, 2002).
The previous passage is a definition of:
Regarding to questioning strategies for interactive learning, there are many ways to classify what kind of questions are effective in the classroom, beginning with display questions to highly referential ones. Asking a lot of questions in classroom does not guarantee stimulation of interaction, for that reason, knowing how to apply the appropriate question in order to achieve a previous fixed objective is of great importance (BROWN, 2007).
Considering the statement above, choose the alternative that properly presents: (1) a question category (2) its explanation and (3) a correct example of it.
Almeida Filho (2005) illustrates in figure 1:
Read the excerpt from TOMLINSON (2011) “Ideally language learners should have strong and consistent motivation and they should also have positive feelings towards the target language, their teachers, their fellow learners and the materials they are using. But, of course, ideal learners do not exist and even if they did exist one day, they would no longer be ideal learners the next day. Each class of learners using the same materials will differ from each other in terms of long- and short-term motivation and of feelings and attitudes about the language, their teachers, their fellow learners and their learning materials, and of attitudes towards the language, the teacher and the materials. Obviously no materials developer can cater for all these affective variables, but it is important for anybody who is writing learning materials to be aware of the inevitable attitudinal differences of the users of the materials.”
What can be concluded from the text about
materials to teach languages is that their developers
should take into account that:
“Language techniques are designed to engage learners in the pragmatic, authentic, functional use of language for meaningful purposes. Organizational language forms are not the central focus, but rather aspects of language that enable the learner to accomplish these purposes.” (BROWN, 2007).
The previous statement is a reference to:
Ainda sei da fala e sei da lavra
e sei das pedras nas palavras áspedras.
E sei que o leito da linguagem leixa
pedregulhos na letra.
É como o logro
da poeira na louça ou como o lixo
nos baldios do livro.
Ainda sei da língua e sei da linha
do luxo e suas luvas, amaciando
os calos e os dedais.
E sei da fala
E do ato de lavrá-la na falavra.
(TELES, Gilberto Mendonça. Poemas reunidos. 2. ed. Rio de Janeiro: José Olympio, 1979).
Ao estudar a estilística morfológica, Martins (2000) defende que os aspectos morfológicos da língua são importantes para a linguagem expressiva. Segundo ela, a ideia de que vocábulos que não se incorporam na língua não têm interesse estilístico é bem discutível, já que, por um lado, não se pode antever o seu destino e, por outro lado, eles evidenciam as potencialidades dos processos de renovação do léxico e dos elementos formadores (lexemas e morfemas).
Entre os diversos processos estudados por Martins, essenciais aos recursos expressivos estilístico-lexicais, o poeta Gilberto Mendonça Teles serviu-se da
