Review of the Literature: Importance of Active Learning
Swain (1985) avowed that language learning is more effective ______________________________the target language is used interactively, particularly in regard to understanding the language in general, and improving their reading or listening skills in particular._______________________ Ellis (1993), interaction within the classroom leads to many advantages for language learning such as comprehension checks, language practice and so on. Long and Porter (1985) found that when second language learners worked in groups, they were more motivated, took more initiative, and were less anxious concerning their learning. ______________________________, there may be a relationship between student oral participation and teachers' questioning techniques and types of classroom activities (Wei, 2008). Wei (2008) also found that students oral participation is increased if application and presentation activities are used; appropriate vocabulary is offered when students need it to continue; questions related to students' prior experiences are asked; and an informal and friendly classroom atmosphere is present. Khamwan (2007) found that after training the students to use interactional strategies _____________________ tools for initiating their interaction, their responses to the teacher's questions were longer and more meaningful. ______________________________, the average number of interaction turns was about two turns per three minutes. It was found that the students could comprehend the lesson better. They could ask their teacher when they could not understand something._________________________________, more students could respond to the teacher's questions. All above mentioned studies have supported the significance of learner's participation and interaction. Many research studies discuss the advantages of active learning techniques that can help students to initiate an interaction with their teachers and ultimately clarify unclear points to enhance their understanding of the lessons and improve creativities.

After reading the abstract bellow, choose the INCORRECT alternative:
Abstract: This paper reports the experience of developing teaching materials for public school teachers and students in southern Brazil in a project funded by the Education Department of Paraná State. The materials were intended as resources to be used by teachers according to their needs and those of their local communities, rather than as a textbook per se. The theory underlying this project is based on critical literacy and the idea that language is discourse, i.e. embedded in cultural and ideological values which determine its meaning and establish power relations among texts, among readers and among texts and their readers - Freirean "readers of the wor(l)d". Student-readers are, in this sense, co-constructors of meanings and responsible for making sense of reality. We expect students and teachers who use the materials we designed to become more aware of their possibilities as agents and this way we intend to foster a sense of active citizenship.
Key-word: critical literacy, citizenship, English teaching, public schools.

According to the abstract, this research was based on critical literacy that understands language as a
discourse.
What Swales has stated is seemingly clear that genre has a number of characteristic and features such as a) genre has a particular communication event, b) genre has a specific goal (goal oriented), c) genre is different and various in accordance to its typical features, d) each genre has a matter of limitation and rules including content, physical form, and shape, and e) every genre belongs to a certain discourse community. In line with discourse community, (Widdoson, 2007) adds that genre is shaped or existing due to the existing discourse community. It is a fact that different discourse community has different genre. Talking about discourse community and genre in connection to the discourse community, Swales (1990), as cited by (Ohoiwutun, 1996), clarifies that characteristics of discourse community in terms of the usage of language in social context is a) a certain discourse community has certain communication goals approved, b) the discourse community communicate within its members, c) a certain discourse community use a certain pattern of communication for its members, d) the discourse community tends to have more than one types of genre to communicate , and e) the discourse community, at last gains a number specific register.

"How does TBI (Task Based Instruction) in practice differ from more traditional teaching approaches? Recall our earlier discussion above of the principles of a P-P-P lesson or teaching format: Presentation: The new grammar structure is presented, often by means of a conversation or short text. The teacher explains the new structure and checks students' comprehension of it. Practice: Students practice using the new structure in a controlled context, through drills or substitution exercises. Production: Students practice using the new structure in different contexts often using their own content or information, in order to develop fluency with the new pattern. Advocates of TBI reject this model on the basis that (a) it doesn't work; and (b) it doesn't reflect current understanding of second language acquisition. They claim that students do not develop fluency or progress in their grammatical development through a P-P-P methodology."
"As well as rethinking the nature of a syllabus, the new communicative approach to teaching prompted a rethinking of classroom teaching methodology. It was argued that learners learn a language through the process of communicating in it, and that communication that is meaningful to the learner provides a better opportunity for learning than through a grammar-based approach. [...] "In applying these principles in the classroom, new classroom techniques and activities were needed, and as we saw above, new roles for teachers and learners in the classroom. Instead of making use of activities that demanded accurate repetition and memorization of sentences and grammatical patterns, activities that required learners to negotiate meaning and to interact meaningfully were required."
( ) Make real communication is the focus of language learning. ( ) Provide opportunities for learners to experiment and try out what they know. ( ) Use drills to make students awareness of language grammar. ( ) Be tolerant of learners' errors as they indicate that the learner is building up his or her communicative competence. ( ) Focus on receptive skills more than productive skills. ( ) Provide opportunities for learners to develop both accuracy and fluency. ( ) Link the different skills such as speaking, reading, and listening together, since they usually occur so in the real world. ( ) Use controlled activities for developing students language learning.

English learners and the four skills
When it comes to English language skills, reading is the most frequent activity - among those that already study and those that intend to, 76% read frequently. Many however, report difficulties with conversation and listening - even among those that have already studied or are studying English. The respondents' selfassessments show that the greatest difference between those that have studied or are currently studying English and those that intend to in the future is the skill of 'listening'. Those intending to study English considered this the area that they are least proficient in. The perception that their speaking ability is insufficient led the participants to cite speaking (50% of respondents) and listening (37% of respondents) among the skills that are most important to develop in a course. This is perceived to be more important than grammar. The preferred methods of teaching tend to be those that stimulate conversation; respondents prefer classes in English that "force" the development of the students' abilities. Respondents tended to think that this conversation should be stimulated before going in-depth into language and grammar rules. To them, the best way of practicing this is discussing current affairs directly relevant to their professional and personal lives. The reduced importance placed on writing and reading relative to speaking is also attributable to the availability of tools for written communication.
