The birth of a nation
The most memorable writing in eighteenth-century
America was done by the founding fathers, the men who
led the American Revolution of 1775-1783 and wrote the
constitution of 1989. But none of them were writers of fiction.
Rather, they were practical philosophers, and their most
typical product was the political pamphlet. They shared the
European Enlightenment belief that human reason could
understand both nature and man. Unlike the Puritans – who
saw man as a sinful failure – the Enlightenment men were
sure man could improve himself. They wanted to create a
happy society based on justice and freedom.
The writings of Benjamin Franklin (1706 -1790) show the Enlightenment spirit in America at its best and most optimistic. His style is quite modern and, even today, his works are a joy to read. At the same time, there’s something “anti-literary” about Franklin. He had no liking for poetry and felt that writing should always have a practical purpose.
Almanacs, containing much useful information for farmers and sailors (about the next year’s weather, sea tides, etc.), were a popular form of practical literature. Together with the Bible and the newspaper, they were the most-widely read and often the only reading matter in most Colonial households. Franklin made his Almanac interesting by creating the character “Little Richard”. Each new edition continued a simple but realist story about Richard, his wife and family. He also included many “sayings” about saving money and working hard. Some of those are known to most Americans today:
Lost time is never found again.
God helps those who help themselves.
In 1757 Franklin collected together the best of his sayings
and published The Way to Wealth. This little book became one
of the best-sellers of the Western World and was translated
into many languages.

Kumaravadivelu (2001) points out that what is known as method has not been enough to fulfill language learning needs. Methods have been used as a set of practices designed by specialists in order to make language acquisition happen. However, according to Kumaravadivelu, studies have shown that the use of these sets of practices may have the opposite effect, since they do not seem to consider students’ context, which prevents learning from being meaningful. For the author, a postmethod pedagogy has emerged from studies that focus on teachers’ beliefs, reasoning and cognition. This postmethod condition is, therefore, a three-dimensional system consisting of three parameters.
Read the examples of practices below and mark the alternative that respectively corresponds to the three parameters that form the postmethod pedagogy system as described by Kumaravadivelu:
I. Teachers are able to theorize from their own practice, developing knowledge and skills.
II. Teachers identify problems, find solutions and go through a cycle of observation, reflection and action.
III. Teachers consider experiences brought to the
classroom and provide an environment where
linguistic and social needs are considered.
Literary texts can be used in classrooms as important sources for language learning. However, literature should not be presented only in order to highlight grammar structures or vocabulary, since literary texts, as social constructions, besides motivating students can also provide them with cultural knowledge and the experience of otherness. Literature through universal themes can develop empathy, creative thinking and sensitivity.
When introducing literary literacy as the appropriation of the text in its social use, Cosson (2012) develops a basic didactic sequence to approach literature in the classroom. Mark the alternative that corresponds to the steps of this didactic sequence in the order presented by the author.
Hutchinson and Waters (1991) point out that English for Specific Purposes (ESP) emerged from three common reasons. One of them is related to the changes in the aim of linguistics, considering the variation from one language situation of use to another. Besides that, the expansion of technology and commerce after World War II, especially in the United States, explains why English became a necessity.
Mark the alternative that is related to the third reason why ESP became popular worldwide:
