Genre has been defined as ‘‘a distinctive category of discourse of any type, spoken or written’’ that serves as ‘‘responses by speakers or writers to the demands of a social context’’. Genre has been produced in many different spheres of human activities. For example, they are present in magazines, newspapers, television, internet, and others. That is to say that a genre represents a pattern or a set of rules that a given text follows in order to communicate its message effectively to its intended audience. Taking that into consideration, check the alternative, whose statement provided may not be associated with the tenets of a potential genre-based theory or approach to the English language teaching (ELT).
Many languages have grammatical means to indicate the time when an action or event occurs, or when a state or process holds. This phenomenon is called “tense”. Verb tenses indicate when an action took place, as well as how long it occurred. In English, the main verb tenses are past, present, and future. When it comes to verb aspect, it is worth mentioning that it deals with the internal constituency of actions, events, states, processes or situations. For instance, it may indicate that an action is completed or still ongoing. English has four aspects, which are: simple, progressive (continuous), perfect and perfect progressive. Having that said, check the alternative, whose information presented is the only one that can be posited as correct when it comes to English tenses and their adequate uses.
Comparatives and superlatives are used to describe how people or things are different. If on the one hand, comparative adjectives are used to express how two people or things are different, on the other hand, superlative adjectives are used to convey that one person or thing is different to all the others of its kind. Based on the principles of explanation and potential application of comparatives and superlatives in English, check the alternative whose information read cannot be considered as correct.
Pronouns substitute the noun in a paragraph or in a piece of writing to avoid repetition of the noun. Pronouns can be used in singular and plural forms as the verb written in the sentence should be used in accordance with the particular form of the specific pronoun. It is noteworthy that pronouns have different forms for the different ways they are used. A different pronoun is required depending on two elements: the noun being replaced and the function the noun has in the sentence. That being said, check the alternative that provides correct information about the correct use of the pronouns in English.
Teaching methods have been considered as a set of core teaching and learning principles together with a body of classroom practices that are derived from them. There are, and have been, many methods in English teaching. Methods deal with practical details and fundamentals of teaching. In Applied Linguistics, studies associated with English language teaching have suggested the following methods, along with a few others, as the most known, debated and analyzed in English teaching literature (written works). They are: I) Audiolingual Method or Audiolingualism; II) Total Physical Response; III) Silent Way; IV) Grammar-Translation Method; and, V) Direct Method or Natural Method. With that in mind, check the alternative that presents the correct information about one of the before-mentioned methods.

De acordo com o art. 27 da LDB, Lei nº 9394/96, “Os conteúdos curriculares da educação básica observarão, ainda, as seguintes diretrizes”, EXCETO:
Com base na Pedagogia de Projetos, depois do planejamento, ocorre a execução do projeto. Então é colocado em prática tudo o que havia sido planejado. Cabe ao professor, neste momento:
Os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais destacam que na sociedade democrática, ao contrário do que ocorre nos regimes autoritários, o processo educacional não pode ser instrumento para a imposição, por parte do governo, de um projeto de sociedade e de nação. Tal projeto deve resultar do próprio processo democrático, nas suas dimensões mais amplas, envolvendo:
Os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais, referenciais para a renovação e reelaboração da proposta curricular, reforçam a importância de que cada escola formule seu projeto educacional, compartilhado por toda a equipe, para que a melhoria da qualidade da educação resulte da corresponsabilidade entre todos os educadores. O documento destaca que a forma mais eficaz de elaboração e desenvolvimento de projetos educacionais envolve:

“A lesson plan is a set of notes that helps us think through what we are going to teach and how we are going to teach. It also guides us during and after the lesson. We can identify the most important components of a lesson plan by thinking carefully about what we want our learners to do and how we want them to do it. So, it helps the teacher before the lesson (writing down the aims and procedures for each stage of the lesson), during the lesson (timing each stage) and after the lesson (using the plan and notes to help plan the next lesson)”.
(THORNBURY, 2005, p. 91-92)

Applied linguists for a long time have been publishing many books and materials on teaching and learning English as a second and a foreign language. So, in this question, we provoke some reflections about these studies and how they could affect practice in our English classes.
Considering language and background to language learning and teaching, match the topic to its definition.
( 1 ) Grammar |
( ) is the study of the sound features used in a language to communicate meaning. |
( 2 ) Lexis |
( ) is a reason why we communicate. |
( 3 ) Phonology |
( ) describes how we combine, organize and change words and parts of words to make meaning. |
( 4 ) Function |
( ) is individual words or sets of words that have a specific meaning. |

The Reasons Why We Dance
- As a choreographer, I get asked to share my opinion about a myriad of dance-related
- topics, from the practical, like “How can dance help you get in shape?” to the existential, like “Is
- my dancing a projection of my self-image?”. But the question I think matters most is: why do
- people dance? What is about moving our bodies to a song we love that is so joyfully Pavlovian?
- Why do we watch videos and take lessons on something that could be labeled as trivial? Why do
- we love it so?
- There are the obvious answers. We dance for physical fitness, mental clarity, emotional
- stability, and other such pluses. However, all these benefits could be attained by other means –
- though I confess I have yet to find a better alternative than a great “cha cha”* to lift both one’s
- heart rate and spirits. There must be something glorious about dancing that is more than just
- intangible. We cannot seem to explain it, yet we all know it so well that we do not hesitate to
- tap our feet to a Gershwin melody or pulse with the percussion of a samba rhythm.
- Perhaps dance is the way we express ourselves when words are insufficient. The joy we
- feel over newfound love, the determination we have in the face of great sorrow or adversity, the
- passionate fire of our youth, and the peacefulness of our softer and more graceful years – maybe
- they are never expressed more fully than through a waltz, or a tango, or a jive. We all want to
- be understood, and if we could truly speak the words that describe our feelings, how deep and
- powerful they would surely be. But alas, those words never seem to come to us just right. Maybe
- dance is simply a translator for the human heart.
- Perhaps dance is the medium through which we show the world who we truly are and who
- we can be. All of us, if we are honest, believe deep down that we are not ordinary. We know
- ourselves to be wonderfully unique, with many layers of personality and talent woven in such a
- way that no one on earth could possibly have our same make-up. We know it. We just do not
- always know how to prove it. Maybe dance gives us the opportunity. And perhaps dance is how
- we choose to remember, how we hold on to the past. It is how we relive __ fun-filled days of
- our youth or __ time we looked into their eyes and knew they were the one. It is our tribute to
- the heroes of yesterday who jitterbugged like carefree boys and girls, when tomorrow they would
- march as men and women to defend freedom’s cause. It is the chance to be __ princess again,
- waiting for __ outstretched hand and the call to __ romance that is graceful, true, and not as
- forgotten as the cynics say. When we dance, we can remember them all a little better, feel the
- butterflies once again, and if only for a moment, return to the purest part of our lives when time
- was of no matter…for we were dancing.
- Why do we dance? Every answer will be different, and that is as it should be. Perhaps the
- better question is, “Why would we not?”
