He set up his home-based takeaway, named Africana Chops, in 2022, after being incessantly asked by his St Lucian friends for Nigerian fare. The takeaway is now thriving, Dr Ogbu tells the BBC, and not just because his island customers think the food is tasty. 'They know that we all have the same ancestral origin. So most of the time, they want to get in touch with that,' Dr Ogbu explains. People across the Caribbean have been expressing African pride through cultural means, such as food, clothing and travel, while governments and institutions from both sides of the Atlantic have been meeting to forge economic ties.

Question must be answered based on the following situation. 

You are teaching an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) class for first-year Brazilian Radiology students at a federal institution. The students need to read and comprehend technical articles about imaging techniques, patient care protocols and radiology equipment manuals. Most students are native Portuguese speakers with varying levels of English proficiency. Some struggle with understanding complex technical terms, others with interpreting text structures and summarizing procedures in English. You, as a teacher, aim to design reading tasks to improve their knowledge in the radiology field.

Considering approaches to ESP course design (Hutchinson & Waters (1987); Dudley-Evans & St. John (1998); Fortanet-Gomez & Raisanen (2008), your reading tasks must

Question must be answered based on the following text.

It appears to me to be useful to simplify the descriptive framework and make a two-part distinction: principles and procedures. The term, principles, may be operationally defined as a set of insights derived from theoretical and applied linguistics, cognitive psychology, information sciences, and other allied disciplines that provide theoretical bases for the study of language learning, language planning, and language teaching. The term thus includes not only the theoretical assumptions governing language learning and teaching but also those governing syllabus design, materials production, and evaluation measures. Similarly, procedures may be operationally defined as a set of teaching strategies adopted/adapted by the teacher in order to accomplish the stated and unstated, short- and long-term goals of language learning and teaching in the classroom. Thus, certain elements of Antony’s approach and method, and Richards and Rodgers’ approach and design can be subsumed under principles. Classroom events, activities, or techniques can be covered under procedures. The terms principles and procedures are not new; they are implicit in the literature and are being used widely, though not uniformly or consistently.

According to the text, throughout the history of language teaching, the concepts of Approach, Method, and Technique have been defined in different ways by different scholars. Even Kumaravadivelu proposes his own two-part framework. Considering these perspectives and the hierarchical relationship among Approach, Method, and Technique, one can conclude that:

Despite Brazil’s linguistic plurality, the myth of monolingualism persists, delineating a “linguistic territory” conceived as uniform. Language policies have historically been slow to acknowledge the country’s multilingual and plurilingual realities, although instruments such as the National Inventory of Linguistic Diversity (2010) represent notable exceptions.

In an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) course, the reading component necessitates a careful balance between the development of specific reading skills and language proficiency. Several critical skills, as mentioned in T. Dudley-Evans and M. J. St John’s Developments in ESP: a Multidisciplinary Approach (1999) are essential to be learned or transferred into the new language.

In the past ten years of the project, we have implemented teletandem in three ways: institutionally, institutionally non-integrated, and institutionally integrated teletandem (Cavalari & Aranha, 2014). The three distinctions are important. First, because they situate the actions of the Teletandem Brasil Project. These actions differ from many private/business initiatives of online collaboration to learn foreign languages that are available on the internet (...). Basically, the Teletandem Brasil Project has always been institutional, that is, the practicing students were always enrolled in the courses of both universities.

Reports generally use the present tense to describe general truths and factual information. Passive voice is frequently employed to maintain objectivity, and technical vocabulary is preferred to convey precise information.

Consider a classroom where learners engage in "reflection and sharing," openly discussing their experiences and feelings related to language learning in a supportive group setting. Reflection and sharing is used as a technique within the Community Language Learning (CLL) method, which emphasizes creating a collaborative and emotionally safe learning community (Curran, 1976).

Adapted from: SHENASSA, Alex. Approach, Method, and Technique in Language Teaching (2024). Available at: https://www.atcbc.com/atc/approach-method-technique.html

Adapted from: LEWIS, M. The Lexical Approach: The State of ELT and a Way Forward, London: Commercial Colour Press. 1993. 

Michael Lewis contends that English teaching should prioritize the learning of lexical groups, such as collocations and language chunks, rather than focusing on the grammar/vocabulary dichotomy. Taking these aspects into consideration, it can be said that the language chunk 'have a slouch' was correctly used in:

Read the excerpt from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll, which depicts Alice’s first encounter with the Mouse:

“‘Mine is a long and a sad tale!’ said the Mouse, turning to Alice, and sighing. ‘It is a long tail, certainly,’ said Alice, looking down with wonder at the Mouse’s tail; ‘but why do you call it sad?’ And she kept on puzzling about it while the Mouse was speaking.”
