"Active methodologies encompass a broad framework of approaches, strategies, and learning activities
that work with students' autonomy and creativity in the construction and application of knowledge. Among
the active teaching-learning methods, the best known are: Flipped Classroom, Problem-Based Learning,
Gamification, Hybrid Teaching, Project-Based Learning, Design Thinking, Cooperative Learning, Experiential
Team Activity, Portfolio, films, storytelling, theatrical technique, technical visit, seminar, debate, case study,
Verbalization Group and Observation Group, role-play, field practice, among others." (Moran, 2013; Pessoa

Interests in learning strategies began with the publication of papers collectively known as the "good language
learner" studies (Cohen; Weaver, 1998). Since then, hundreds of studies have been generated that look at
different aspects of learning strategies and their roles in language learning. In an effort to make sense of
the huge database and numerous research findings in this area, Oxford (1990, as cited in Cohen; Weaver,
1998) differentiates learning strategies into four categories: cognitive, metacognitive, affective and social
(Oxford, 2002, p.121).
Oxford. L.Language Learning Strategies in a Nutshell: Update and ESL Suggestions.In: RICHARDS, J. C. & RENANDYA. W.A. Methodology in Language Teaching: an Anthology of Current Practice. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press 2002. Chapter 11 - pages 121 -132.
Identify the learning strategies as exposed by Oxford (2002) by matching each definition to the CORRECT category.
1. Cognitive
2. Metacognitive
3. Affective
4. Social
( ) This strategy deals with the planning, monitoring, and evaluation of language learning activities. For example, students may develop a plan for monitoring their progress by constantly comparing their current level of proficiency with the course goals outlined in the curriculum.
( ) This strategy involves the identification, retention, and retrieval of language elements. For example, students may use memory-enhancing strategies (e.g., the keyword method) to help them remember new words.
( ) This strategy refers to actions learners take to interact with users of the language. For example, students may deliberately seek out opportunities to use the target language with native speakers of the language.
( ) This strategy serves to regulate emotions, attitudes, and motivation. For example, students may read linguistically simplified books to develop a positive attitude toward reading materials.
Choose the CORRECT sequence.

Lençóis Maranhenses looks like a desert, but
it's alive with shimmering pools, remote
villages and ancient paths that only local
guides know how to read.
I was at least 20 steps behind my group – and
another 30 behind our guide – when he suddenly
stopped, checked his watch and tilted his face
toward the sky, as if taking cues from the Sun.
"We must be lost," I thought. Smooth, pale slopes
rose and fell in every direction, with glistening
teal pools woven between them. It was a
landscape with no obvious beginning or end.
Then, as if reassured, our guide carried on,
following a trail only he could see.
My three friends and I were a few hours into a
three-day trek across Lençóis Maranhenses
National Park, a humbling expanse of sand in
north-eastern Brazil, and I had already lost all
sense of direction. I walked in silence, listening
to the wind, the rippling water, the sand
crunching beneath my feet.
With each step, I sank a few centimetres, forcing
my foot to work twice as hard. I kept falling
behind, switching from flip-flops to water shoes
and finally bare feet as the sand shifted from soft
powder to a rock-hard surface baking in the heat.
A friend back home had done a similar trek;
"You'll feel bones you never knew existed in
your feet," they'd warned. I was starting to
believe them.

Liberating Adult Education, Animation and People Centred Democracy

Adopting Issa Shivji’s paradigm, “The philosopher in Nyerere was informed by, and in constant search for, human equality and freedom, while the king in him was driven by the imperatives of building a nation-state” [Shivji 2020 Book Three: 2]. Mwalimu Nyerere advocated transformative pedagogy and liberating adult education, which he linked to nation building and people-centred participatory development, especially at grassroots level. He argued that adult learners have knowledge to share. They need to be encouraged to think, analyse critically and act on their own behalf so as to improve their situation. They thereby became active subjects, and participated equally in making key decisions on resource allocations at all levels and benefited equally. While referring to individual demands for freedom and dignity, Mwalimu emphasized the collective nature of these demands, and argued that the African people can only realize real democracy and freedom by uniting together so as to fight against neo-colonialism and corporate globalisation and to struggle for equitable, just development and economic liberation. At the same time, he was a powerful ruler who established an Executive with no checks and balances and focused on nation building and African liberation, not socialism. He denounced global elites and Northern based imperialism, but in the early years he rarely took action against the growth of a bureaucratic bourgeoisie in his own state and party. The failure to translate his ideals of equality and justice into a popular mass movement of workers, peasants, students and others contributed to the ultimate downfall of ujamaa. At the same time, he succeeded in sustaining national unity in an increasingly hostile context during the 1980s debt crisis and confrontation with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) demands for Structural Adjustment (SAP) and neoliberalism [Shivji 2020 Book Three].

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle.
A Scandal in Bohemia (Part II)
“Wedlock suits you,” he remarked. “I think, Watson, that you
have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you.”
“Seven!” I answered.
“Indeed, I should have thought a little more. Just a trifle more, I
fancy, Watson. And in practice again, I observe. You did not tell
me that you intended to go into harness.”
“Then, how do you know?”
“I see it, I deduce it. How do I know that you have been getting
yourself very wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy and
careless servant girl?”
“My dear Holmes,” said I, “this is too much.
You would certainly have been burned, had you lived a few centuries ago. It is true that I had a country walk on Thursday and
came home in a dreadful mess, but as I have changed my clothes
I can’t imagine how you deduce it. As to Mary Jane, she is incorrigible, and my wife has given her notice, but there, again, I
fail to see how you work it out.”
He chuckled to himself and rubbed his long, nervous hands together.
“It is simplicity itself,” said he; “my eyes tell me that on the inside
of your left shoe, just where the firelight strikes it, the leather is
scored by six almost parallel cuts. Obviously they have been caused by someone who has very carelessly scraped round the edges
of the sole in order to remove crusted mud from it. Hence, you
see, my double deduction that you had been out in vile weather,
and that you had a particularly malignant boot-slitting specimen
of the London slavey. As to your practice, if a gentleman walks
into my rooms smelling of iodoform, with a black mark of nitrate
of silver upon his right forefinger, and a bulge on the right side
of his top hat to show where he has secreted his stethoscope,
I must be dull, indeed, if I do not pronounce him to be an active
member of the medical profession.”

of silver upon his right forefinger, and a bulge on the right side
of his top hat to show where he has secreted his stethoscope,
I must be dull, indeed, if I do not pronounce him to be an active
member of the medical profession.”

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle.
A Scandal in Bohemia (Part I)
I had seen little of Holmes lately. My marriage had drifted
us away from each other. My own complete happiness, and the
home-centred interests which rise up around the man who first
finds himself master of his own establishment, were sufficient to
absorb all my attention, while Holmes, who loathed every form
of society with his whole Bohemian soul, Blank I in our lodgings
in Baker Street, buried among his old books, and alternating from
week to week between cocaine and ambition, the drowsiness of
the drug, and the fierce energy of his own keen nature. He was
still, as ever, deeply attracted by the study of crime, and occupied
his immense faculties and extraordinary powers of observation
in following out those clues, and clearing up those mysteries
which had been abandoned as hopeless by the official police.
From time to time I Blank II some vague account of his doings:
of his summons to Odessa in the case of the Trepoff murder, of
his clearing up of the singular tragedy of the Atkinson brothers
at Trincomalee, and finally of the mission which he had accomplished so delicately and successfully for the reigning family of
Holland. Beyond these signs of his activity, however, which I
merely shared with all the readers of the daily press, I knew little
of my former friend and companion.
One night – it was on the twentieth of March, 1888 – I was
returning from a journey to a patient (for I had now returned
to civil practice), when my way led me through Baker Street.
As I Blank III the well-remembered door, which must always
be associated in my mind with my wooing, and with the dark
incidents of the Study in Scarlet, I was seized with a keen desire
to see Holmes again, and to know how he was employing his
extraordinary powers. His rooms were brilliantly lit, and, even
as I looked up, I saw his tall, spare figure pass twice in a dark
silhouette against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly,
eagerly, with his head sunk upon his chest and his hands clasped
behind him. To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his
attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again.
He had risen out of his drug-created dreams and was hot upon
the scent of some new problem. I rang the bell and was shown
up to the chamber which had formerly been in part my own.
His manner was not effusive. It seldom was; but he was glad,
I think, to see me. With hardly a word spoken, but with a kindly eye, he waved me to an armchair, threw across his case of
cigars, and indicated a spirit case and a gasogene in the corner.
Then he stood before the fire and looked me over in his singular
introspective fashion.
