The reading passage as dependent exemplification
The presentation of language through reading passages, with appended comprehension questions, is a well-established and very familiar pedagogic practice. But what is the purpose of such passages? When they appear in structurally based courses they seem to be used as a vehicle for usage, to consolidate a knowledge of structure and vocabulary that has already been introduced and to extend this knowledge by incorporating into the passages examples of whatever elements of usage come next in the course. In this case, the passage is intended as a manifestation of selected parts of the language system and in consequence they frequently exhibit an abnormally high occurence of particular structures. It has something of the character of a display case and its value as discourse is decreased accordingly.

Over a ten-month period studying English, Alberto still used reduced and simplified forms of expression. For example, he did not progress beyond the first stage in development of negatives, he continued to use declarative word order rather than inversion in questions, he acquired virtually no auxiliary verbs, and failed to mark regular verbs for past tense or nouns for possession. The gramatical features that he did seem to have acquired could be accounted for his positive transfer from his native language – Spanish – and he was at a very early stage of development.

From interactivity to passivity
Observers have noted that the Internet is moving away from its original model of cooperative communication based on exchange, and tending towards the logic of a mass broadcasting media, resulting in a concentration of producers and the progressive disappearance of interactivity. This tendency towards passivity in the use of the new media can, we believe, be counterbalanced effectively in an approach to FLT which encourages cooperative, collaborative procedures, where teachers abandon traditional roles and act more as guides and mentors, exploring the new media themselves as learners and thus acting as role models for their learners. Case studies show that there is closer interaction between teacher and students when the new media are employed. Language learners who have experienced this kind of approach are most likely to transfer the skills acquired to their daily practice in the use of the new media in the mother tongue. And, above all, this experience should lead to the development of a “user culture”, implying appropriate behaviour, which respects other people as well as the diversity of their opinions.
