Q1109970
Português
Em relação à variação dialetal, analise as seguintes afirmativas e assinale com V as verdadeiras e com F as falsas.
( ) Os dialetos na dimensão territorial representam uma variação que normalmente acontece porque os falantes de uma dada região constituem uma comunidade linguística geograficamente limitada em função de estarem polarizados em termos políticos e / ou econômicos e / ou culturais, e desenvolverem um comportamento linguístico comum que os identifica e os distingue.
( ) Os dialetos na dimensão social representam variações decorrentes da diferença no modo de usar a língua de pessoas de faixas etárias diversas; algumas dessas diferenças suscitam reações pelo fato de alguns grupos considerarem deturpações, degradação, degeneração, as alterações – introduzidas no uso da língua – que são determinadas pelas novas gerações.
( ) Os dialetos na dimensão histórica são mais percebidos na língua escrita, uma vez que esse é o registro que as faz permanecer no tempo; com as novas tecnologias será possível, no futuro, observar e analisar as diferenças históricas na modalidade oral da língua; o que é certo é que os dialetos nessa dimensão representam estágios no desenvolvimento da língua e dificilmente coexistem.
( ) Os dialetos na dimensão da função representam as variações que ocorrem de acordo com a classe social a que pertencem os usuários da língua porque há uma tendência para maior semelhança entre os atos verbais dos membros de um mesmo setor sociocultural da comunidade, geralmente com relações bastante estreitas e interesses comuns; neles há inúmeras superposições e matizes.
Assinale a sequência correta.

Português
Ao desenvolver o ensino da Língua Portuguesa e trabalhar especificamente com o ensino de gramática, é conveniente ter em mente que existem vários tipos de gramática e que o trabalho com cada um desses tipos pode resultar em atividades distintas em sala de aula.
A esse respeito, numere a coluna II de acordo com a coluna I, fazendo relação entre o tipo de gramática com seu conceito, conforme descrito por Luiz Carlos Travaglia em seu livro Gramática e interação: uma proposta para o ensino de gramática.
COLUNA I
1. Gramática descritiva
2. Gramática reflexiva
3. Gramática geral
COLUNA II
( ) Compara o maior número possível de línguas, com o fim de reconhecer todos os fatos linguísticos realizáveis e as condições em que se realizarão. Preocupa-se com as possibilidades que estão por trás do fato realizado.
( ) Registra para uma determinada variedade da língua, em uma abordagem sincrônica, as unidades e categorias linguísticas existentes, os tipos de construção possíveis e a função, o modo e as condições de uso desses elementos.
( ) Representa atividades de observação sobre a língua que buscam detectar, levantar suas unidades, regras e princípios, ou seja, a constituição e o funcionamento da língua, partindo de evidências linguísticas; é a gramática em explicitação.
Assinale a sequência correta.

INSTRUCTION: Now read carefully the next text; then mark the alternatives that answer the questions or complete the sentences in the question.
As it turned out, there were more than enough strawberries for supper. Julie didn’t come back.
The dinner, though delicious, could hardly be said to be festive. It was as if all the accumulated tensions of the last days had gathered that evening at the dining-table, building slowly up like the thunderheads that stood steadily on the horizon outside.
Con had come in early, rather quiet, with watchful eyes, and lines from nostril to chin that I hadn’t noticed before. Grandfather seemed to have recruited his energies with his afternoon rest: his eyes were bright and a little malicious as he glanced round the table, and marked the taut air of waiting that hung over the meal. It was his moment of power, and he knew it.
If it had needed anything to bring the tensions to snapping-point, Julie’s absence provided it. At first it was only assumed that she was late, but, as the meal wore through, and it became apparent that she wasn’t coming, Grandfather started making irritatingly frequent remarks about the forgetfulness and ingratitude of young people, that were intended to sound pathetic, but only managed to sound thoroughly bad-tempered.
Con ate more or less in silence, but a silence so unrelaxed as to be almost aggressive. It was apparent that Grandfather thought so, for he kept casting bright, hard looks under his brows, and once or twice seemed on the verge of the sort of edged and provocative remark with which he had been prodding his great-nephew for days.
I drew what fire I could, chattering shamelessly, and had
the dubious satisfaction of attracting most of the old man’s
attention to myself, some of it so obviously affectionate –
pointedly so – that I saw, once or twice, Con’s glance
cross mine like the flicker of blue steel. Afterwards, I
thought, when he knows, when that restless, torturing
ambition is settled at last, it will be all right …
As Grandfather had predicted, Donald’s presence saved
the day. He seconded my efforts with great gallantry,
making several remarks at least three sentences long;
but he, too, was unable to keep his eyes from the clock,
while Lisa, presiding over a magnificent pair of ducklings
à la Rouennaise, and the strawberries hastily assembled
into whipped cream Chantilly, merely sat unhelpfully
silent and worried, and, in consequence, looking sour.
The end of the meal came, and the coffee, and still no
Julie. We all left the dining-room together.

Four ways to give ELL students feedback on
their writing
Larry Ferlazzo
There does not seem to be clarity among researchers
about the best ways to assist ELLs in revising their
writing, but they all seem to agree that one of the
best things teachers can do is to give ELLs more time
- more time to write, more time to think, more time to
revise. This need is one of the major reasons why many
researchers recommend including an opportunity for
peer review and feedback - this process provides more
time, as well as providing social support.
One element that we have students use in this process:
1. After students have completed their draft on the
computer using Microsoft Word or Google Docs (taking
advantage of the spelling and grammar tools available on
each), they print out two copies of their essay - one is for
their peer reviewer. Each student also gets one copy of
the peer review sheet.
The first student who is getting their essay reviewed
reads the essay aloud and the reviewer follows along
on his/her copy. During this time, both the writer and the
reviewer make notes about mistakes and improvements,
primarily targeting grammar and sentence construction
issues. After the writer is done reading, both he/she and
the reviewer discuss the points they both noted. Then,
the reviewer goes through the Peer Review sheet one
section at a time taking a minute or so to silently read
that section of the essay and noting suggestions on
the sheet. After he/she is done with each section, the
reviewer shares comments with the writer, who makes
notes on his/her copy of the essay. This process is
repeated until the entire sheet is completed, and then the
roles are reversed.
Note that teachers will probably want to modify the Peer
Review Sheet to reflect the essay their students are
writing.
2. The teachers will then quickly review this “marked-up”
version of the essay with the student and, depending on
their English proficiency and overall confidence level, may
give specific feedback on one or two grammar issues by
pointing at the mistake and having students identify the
correction. More importantly, they’ll note to themselves
what specific skills they need to cover in future lessons.
3. Students will return to the electronic version of the
essay they saved and make the revisions identified in the
peer review process and in the follow-up conversation
teachers had with them.
Pointing
This is a simple way to provide feedback.
A number of studies suggest that correction -- either
through prompts that point out the error to a student and
require an immediate attempt at a “repair” or through
“recasts” when teachers rephrase correctly what the
student said -- can be a useful tool to assist language
acquisition. When teachers see a written mistake,
they commonly point to it - whether it be a word or a
punctuation issue. Students are typically then able to
correct it then and there.

Amy watched six taxis avoid her and go deliberately
towards other people. Then she began to realise she
was suffering from advanced paranoia and that she had
better cut her losses and take the tube home. She was
already so late and angry, that the lurching crowded
journey couldn’t make her much worse. And there was
the danger that if she stood much longer on the side of
the street being ignored by rush hour taxi drivers she
might lose her small remaining ration of sanity. And she
needed to hold on to what she had for tonight.
Tonight Ed’s sister and her husband were coming to
dinner. Tonight, for the first time, she would meet the
Big Mama figure in Ed’s American family, the one they
all bowed to, the one Ed had practically written to for
permission to marry Amy. At the time Amy had thought
it funny; she had even suggested that her dental reports
and Photostats of her GCE certificates be sent to New
York. But three years later, after a period of watching Ed
write his monthly letter to his big sister Bella, she found
it less funny. She was never shown those letters and in
pique she had opened one before posting it. It was an
infantile report on how their life had been progressing
since last month: childish details about the floor covering
they had bought for the kitchen, aspirations that Ed’s
salary would be reviewed and upped. Praise for a new
dress that Amy had bought, minutiae about a picnic they
had had with another couple. It had made Amy uneasy,
because it had made Ed seem retarded. It was the kind
of letter that a mother might expect from a small son
who had gone off to summer camp, not something that a
sister in far away America should need or want.
Ed had been euphoric about the visit. It had been
planned for over three months. Bella and her husband
Blair were coming to London for three days as part of
a European tour. They would arrive in the morning;
they did not want to be met, they preferred to recover
from their jet lag alone in the privacy of a good
hotel with a comfortable bedroom and bathroom.
Fully refreshed, at seven p.m. they would come and see
their beloved Ed and welcome their new sister Amy to the
family. Next day there would be a tour to Windsor and an
evening at the theatre, with a dinner for the four of them.
And on the Saturday morning, Amy might kindly take her
new sister Bella shopping, and point out the best places,
introduce her to the heads of departments in the better
stores. They would have a super girly lunch, and then
Bella and Blair should fly out of their lives to Paris.
Normally, on any ordinary Thursday, Amy came home
from Harley Street, where she worked as a doctor’s
receptionist, took off her shoes, put on her slippers,
unpacked her shopping, organized a meal, lit the fire and
then Ed would arrive home. Their evenings had begun to
have a regular pattern. Ed came home tense and tired.
Little by little, in front of the fire, he would unwind; little
by little he relaxed his grip on the file of papers he had
brought back from the office. He would have a sherry, his
face would lose its lines; and then he would agree really
that there was no point in trying to do too much work in
the evening.
And afterwards, he would carve away happily at the table
he was making, or watch television, or do the crossword
with Amy; and she realized happily that she was
essential to him, because only her kind of understanding
could make him uncoil and regard his life as a happy,
unworrying thing.
That was all before the threatened visit of Bella.

sister in far away America should need or want.
Ed had been euphoric about the visit. It had been
planned for over three months. Bella and her husband
Blair were coming to London for three days as part of
a European tour. They would arrive in the morning;
they did not want to be met, they preferred to recover
from their jet lag alone in the privacy of a good
hotel with a comfortable bedroom and bathroom.
Fully refreshed, at seven p.m. they would come and see
their beloved Ed and welcome their new sister Amy to the
family. Next day there would be a tour to Windsor and an
evening at the theatre, with a dinner for the four of them.
And on the Saturday morning, Amy might kindly take her
new sister Bella shopping, and point out the best places,
introduce her to the heads of departments in the better
stores. They would have a super girly lunch, and then
Bella and Blair should fly out of their lives to Paris.
Normally, on any ordinary Thursday, Amy came home
from Harley Street, where she worked as a doctor’s
receptionist, took off her shoes, put on her slippers,
unpacked her shopping, organized a meal, lit the fire and
then Ed would arrive home. Their evenings had begun to
have a regular pattern. Ed came home tense and tired.
Little by little, in front of the fire, he would unwind; little
by little he relaxed his grip on the file of papers he had
brought back from the office. He would have a sherry, his
face would lose its lines; and then he would agree really
that there was no point in trying to do too much work in
the evening.
And afterwards, he would carve away happily at the table
he was making, or watch television, or do the crossword
with Amy; and she realized happily that she was
essential to him, because only her kind of understanding
could make him uncoil and regard his life as a happy,
unworrying thing.
That was all before the threatened visit of Bella.

worse”, she is referring to
