In the following sentence, choose the right explanation about “would” in the options below: “As a result, we anticipated that it would be informative to describe how a self-selected online forum could advance adults' literacies.”

Find the sentence with a wrong use of a noun.

In the following context, how can you replace the verb “enroll” in the options below? “The interviews presented in this article are a portion of a data set from a larger study in which I surveyed 177 students enrolled in a first-year college writing course at a rural, midsize Midwestern state university, asking about their uses of digital tools for nonacademic reading and writing purposes.”

According to Brazilian PCN, it should become important to remember that:

“All PCN, - National Curriculum Parameters - themes are supposed to be taught as cross-curricular themes, although ‘CPCCT’, - cultural plurality as a cross-curricular theme, - is the theme that receives the most emphasis within the FL (foreign language) curriculum where it is given a three-page text. The other themes are not discussed as specifically as CPCCT. The reason given for the emphasis is: ‘The cross-curricular theme of Cultural Plurality deserves special treatment due to the fact that FL teaching gives great support to this question.’ (Brazil, 1998a: 48, my translation) The document also states that ‘This theme can be focused on with the aim of demystifying the homogenous understanding of specific cultures that involve typical generalizations in FL classrooms, for instance, that the English or the French are ‘this or that way’. (Brazil, 1998a: 48, my translation)” (Adapted from Cultural Plurality in the FL National Curriculum Parameters: a study of race/ethnicity by Aparecida de Jesus Ferreira) In this context, we can reflect that:

Read the following fragment and give a comprehension to the phrasal verb “cheer up”: “She was very disappointed, but faced up bravely to the situation. In fact, when Chris, Sara, Michael and I visited her in hospital, so, that was she who cheered us up and made us laugh! I think that year we were making up for the limitations of the one before.” (Life, love and laughter. Horne, Molly. Braunton)

Read the following fragment, and then, choose the alternative with the right synonyms according to the given context: “I carried him to tire myself, the way some people rush into activity when their plans fail. If I sometimes recognized this, I blamed my Aunt Lilian who had brought me up to give too much importance to careers and causes and things of the mind, simply because she had never known, herself, any of the pleasures of the body, and had, as a result, made me feel guilty now.” (A woman of my age. Bawden, Nina.)

21^st Century

All the creatures,

On the beaches,

Making waves in a motion picture.

Wont you keep this,

In between us,

Search and seizure, wake up Venus.

The dollar bill will,

Mentally ill bill,

Mum and dad take your 'don't be sad' pill

What's new in English language teaching?

This is an article about new trends in English language teaching (ELT) resources, but none of the trends that follow are, strictly speaking, new.

Take, for example, the idea of spaced repetition, which is a buzzword at the moment. Back in 1885 (I told you it wasn’t a new idea), Hermann Ebbinghaus carried out an experiment designed to measure how quickly we forget. He discovered that, unless new information is reinforced, we quickly forget what we have learned. In the 1930s, other researchers followed this up by looking at how often we need to reinforce new information, and found that spacing out repetition – revising the information every two days, then every four, then every eight, and so on – was most effective.

[…]

Another way in which digitalisation is affecting ELT resources is in the way it's connecting learners with the outside world. Students nowadays have access to an incredible amount of English-language material online. But while this is clearly beneficial, it can also be a bit overwhelming. Students don’t always know where to go for the most appropriate material. For teachers, the amount of time needed to find, select and prepare materials can be off-putting.

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high,

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit-

Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a fellow turns about

When he might have won had he stuck it out.

Don't give up though the pace seems slow -

You may succeed with another blow.

[…]

Success is failure turned inside out –

The silver tint in the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,

It might be near when it seems afar;

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -

It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Teaching approaches: what is audiolingualism?

There seems to be a widely held perception amongst language teachers that methods and approaches have finite historical boundaries – that the Grammar-Translation approach is dead, for example. Similarly, audiolingualism was in vogue in the 1960s but died out in the 70s after Chomsky’s famous attack on behaviorism in language learning.

In this context, it is worth considering for a moment what goes on in the typical language learning classroom. Do you ever ask your students to repeat phrases or whole sentences, for example? Do you drill the pronunciation and intonation of utterances? […] If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then, consciously or unconsciously, you are using techniques that are features of the audiolingual approach. This approach has its roots in the USA during World War II […].

The audiolingual approach was also based on the behaviorist theory of learning, which held that language […] is a form of behavior. In the behaviorist view, language is elicited by a stimulus and that stimulus then triggers a response. The response in turn then produces some kind of reinforcement, which, if positive, encourages the repetition of the response in the future or, if negative, its suppression. When transposed to the classroom, this gives us the classic pattern drill- Model […]. In its purest form audiolingualism aims to promote mechanical habit-formation through repetition […].

While some of this might seem amusingly rigid in these enlightened times, it is worth reflecting on actual classroom practice and noticing when activities occur that can be said to have their basis in the audiolingual approach. Most teachers will at some point require learners to repeat examples of grammatical structures […]. Although the audiolingual approach in its purest form has many weaknesses, to dismiss the audiolingual approach as an outmoded method of the 1960s is to ignore the reality of current classroom practice […].
