Which teaching approach is best represented by this description?
I. A genre is a socially recognized communicative event, such as a business letter or a scientific article, with specific structural conventions.
II. A text type refers to internal rhetorical structures, such as narration or description, which may coexist within a single textual genre.
III. The primary difference between genre and type is that types are determined by social function, while genres are defined by linguistic internalities.
Which of the following are CORRECT:
I. The focus of ESP is primarily on developing a deep understanding of the target professional field's lexicon and genre conventions.
II. In an instrumental approach, the learner is encouraged to use background knowledge to facilitate the top-down processing of the text.
III. Grammar is taught as an end in itself, requiring students to master all irregular verbs before attempting to read any specialized article.
Which of the following are CORRECT:
(__) Blended learning combines traditional face-to-face classroom methods with online digital materials to create a more flexible learning environment.
(__) Gamification in ELT refers to the use of game design elements in non-game contexts to increase student motivation and engagement.
(__) Synchronous communication in digital learning environments occurs when students and teachers interact at different times using forums or emails.
(__) Digital immigrants are individuals who were born into the digital age and possess an innate ability to master all English-speaking software.
After analysis, choose the alternative that presents the CORRECT sequence:
I.Scaffolding is a practice where the teacher provides temporary support to help students perform tasks that are just beyond their current independent ability.
II.Formative assessment is a continuous process used only at the end of the year to provide a final numerical grade for administrative reporting purposes.
III.The integration of the four skills (reading, writing, listening, speaking) reflects how language is used in real life and promotes a more comprehensive communicative competence.
Which of the statements above is/are CORRECT?
(__)Task-Based Learning (TBL) focuses on the completion of meaningful tasks, where the target language is used as a vehicle to achieve a specific communicative outcome.
(__)Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) involves teaching a non-linguistic subject (like Science or History) through a foreign language, promoting dual learning goals.
(__)The Audiolingual Method is based on the idea that language learning should focus only on the translation of long literary passages to ensure the students' cultural depth.
(__)Flipped Classroom is a methodology where students first explore new content at home, while class time is dedicated to practice, discussion, and active problem-solving.
Now, choose the CORRECT alternative with the sequence from top to bottom:
(__)The BNCC views English as a lingua franca, meaning that its teaching should aim at communication among people from diverse cultural backgrounds, not just native speakers.
(__)The "Linguistic Knowledge" axis involves reflecting on how the language works, but it should always be integrated into the axes of use (Orality, Reading, and Writing).
(__)Digital literacy is excluded from the English curriculum in the BNCC, as the document prohibits the use of computers and smartphones during foreign language classes.
(__)The BNCC determines that the teaching of English must prioritize the literal translation of classical Portuguese poetry into the target language to ensure linguistic formalization.
Now, choose the CORRECT alternative with the sequence from top to bottom:
Text for question
“I always tried to be decent to the warders in my section; hostility was self-defeating. There was no point in having a permanent enemy among warders.
It was ANC policy to try to educate all people, even our enemies: we believed that all men, even prison service warders, were capable of change, and we did our utmost to try to sway them.
In general we treated the wanders as they treated us. If a man was considered, we were considerate in return. Not all of our warders were ogres. We noticed right from the start that there were some among them who believed in fairness.”
MANDELA, Nelson. Long Walk to Freedom. Boston; New York: Little, Brown and Company, 1994.
Read the text below and answer question.
Language learning, like any other type of learning, is not a linear process and therefore cannot be deemed as predictable as some of these models of acquisition have hypothesized it to be. Minimal differences in initial conditions can cause very different results. Nevertheless, I consider that the previous attempts to explain SLA should not be disregarded because when they are put together they provide a broader view of the phenomenon. In this new perspective, a SLA model should be considered as a set of connections within a dynamic system that moves in the direction of the “edge of chaos” considered as a zone of creativity with the maximum potential for learning.

While ESP teachers may have some understanding of the fields in which their students work, these teachers do not have to be knowledgeable in all of these fields. A degree in law or medicine is not required of teachers in ESP courses for lawyers or doctors. In ESP, teachers’ and students’ roles are different but complementary. Teachers are the language education specialists; they know (about) English in addition to having pedagogical skills. Students, on the other hand, have some knowledge of their professional field (generally in their first language) and usually have a real motivation to learn the language (e.g., communicate with clients, read a manual, be promoted). It is not possible to generalize, however, whether they know English.

Column I
(1) Language-centered approach.
(2) Skills centered approach
(3) Learning-centered approach.
Column II
( ) Focuses on the learner's cognitive processes and mental paths to acquire knowledge.
( ) Focuses on the underlying thinking processes and strategies required for professional tasks.
( ) Focuses primarily on the linguistic features and lexical items of the target situation.
Choose the alternative below that presents the correct sequence from top to bottom:
I. Planning is complete when the writer drafts every sentence in final form before writing, because drafting mainly copies the plan into neat language.
II. A topic plan can map purpose, audience and key points, which supports paragraph unity even when sentences change during drafting.
III. In short scripts and ads, coherence depends mainly on rhyme and repetition, so logical sequencing plays a minor role in how meaning is built.
IV. A functional biography paragraph benefits from avoiding time markers, because chronology reduces inference and makes reading passive.
V. A simple paragraph often benefits from a clear topic sentence and a small set of supporting details that link back through reference or repetition.
The CORRECT statements are:
