Read the text carefully, go through the assertions related to it and choose the correct option.

        Task-based Teaching (TBT) – and Task-based Learning (TBL) – is the approach that TESOL Advantage advocates as best practice when it comes to English language teaching. While TBT’s basic principles are derived from CLT (Communicative Language Teaching), there are some important differences. Critics of CLT have raised the following concerns:

           1.Teachers can struggle with the non-specific requirements of CLT.
       2.Teachers are often worried about giving up too much control during a CLT exercise.
       3.Many learners have low intrinsic motivation to communicate in a foreign language and so struggle with CLT student-centric exercises.
     4.Because CLT is a meaning-focused approach, learners may struggle with grammar issues.
      TBT addresses all of these concerns. It gives teachers a specific requirement to focus on – getting the students to complete a task. Teachers worried about their classes becoming chaotic because of a lack of structure in the lesson now have clear steps that create guidelines and boundaries – a pre-task, task and post-task. Students become more empowered and motivated when they complete tasks because they ‘own’ the language and control the task response. While TBT definitely has a greater focus on meaning than form, teachers can add an optional language focus at the end of a task to cover any grammatical issues that the task highlighted.

          Dulzura


by Sandra Cisneros.


Make love to me in Spanish.

Not with that other tongue.

I want you juntito a mi,

tender like the language

crooned to babies.

I want to be that

lullabied, mi bien

querido, that loved.

I want you inside

the mouth of my heart,

inside the harp of my wrists,

the sweet meat of the mango,

in the gold that dangles

from my ears and neck.

Say my name. Say it.

The way it’s supposed to be said.

I want to know that I knew you

even before I knew you.

Read the text below and point out the nature of the educacional perspective it supports as to the abilities and expertise proposed by the “Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais”.

           The modern world’s characteristics have, for sure, important implications for the educational process as a whole, and, particularly, to the teaching/learning of languages. Answers to these macro-trends are vital in preparing youngsters to cater to the demands of a new world. With regards to teaching/learning languages, in order to be an active participant, it is essential that one communicate not only in the mother tongue but also in foreign language. The development of communicative abilities, in more than one language, is fundamental to access the society of information, moreover, it’s crucial for equitable academic access, and in the business and technological fields. It is, therefore, imperative that the teaching of foreign language be understood, and implemented, as the one offering tools vital for laboring.

Read Nikola Tesla’s biography to answer. 
    Nikola Tesla was a scientist whose inventions include the Tesla coil, alternating-current (AC) electricity, and the discovery of the rotating magnetic field. Born in modern-day Croatia, Tesla came to the United States in 1884 and briefly worked with Thomas Edison before the two parted ways. He sold several patent rights, including those to his AC machinery, to George Westinghouse.      Tesla, born in Smiljan, Croatia, on July 10, 1856, was one of five children, including siblings Dane, Angelina, Milka and Marica. His interest in electrical invention was spurred by his mother, Djuka Mandic, who invented small household appliances in her spare time while her son was growing up. After studying at the Realschule, Karlstadt in Germany; the Polytechnic Institute in Graz, Austria; and the University of Prague during the 1870s, Tesla moved to Budapest, where for a time he worked at the Central Telephone Exchange. It was while in Budapest that the idea for the induction motor first came to Tesla, but after several years of trying to gain interest in his invention, at age 28 Tesla decided to leave Europe for America.        In 1884 Tesla arrived in the United States with little more than the clothes on his back and a letter of introduction to famed inventor and business mogul Thomas Edison, whose DC-based electrical works were fast becoming the standard in the country.

Read the text to indicate the core theme it introduces.
  Still I Rise
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room. 

Just like moons and like suns,

With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?


Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own backyard. 

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs? 

Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise.

Educational apps have seen tremendous success by offering interactive video lessons, quizzes, and personalized learning plans to help students succeed academically.
