Q3455933 Português

  A leitura nos convida a conhecer a experiência de homens e mulheres, de nossa época ou de épocas passadas, de diferentes lugares, transcrita em palavras que podem nos ensinar muito sobre nós mesmos. E os textos que alguém nos passa, e que também passamos a outros, representam uma abertura para círculos de pertencimento mais amplos, que se estendem para além do parentesco e da localidade.


    Vou citar Albert Camus, um escritor que conhecia bem a pobreza e que escreveu: “A pobreza e a ignorância tornavam a vida mais difícil, mais insípida, fechada em si mesma; a miséria é uma fortaleza sem ponte levadiça”. A imagem de uma fortaleza sem ponte levadiça nos lembra o quanto a reclusão e o isolamento são, em geral, o destino que cabe aos pobres. Pois o que também distingue as categorias sociais, não esqueçamos isso, é o horizonte, o espaço de referência daqueles que as compõem. Alguns podem ver mais longe que outros, pensar suas vidas em uma outra escala. E o horizonte de muitos habitantes da zona rural, de condição modesta, como também o horizonte popular urbano, foi, por muito tempo, e ainda o é com frequência, a família, os vizinhos, “nós”. Enquanto o resto do mundo é visto como “eles”, com traços bem mal definidos.


    Mas, às vezes, existem pontes levadiças. Camus, assim como outros escritores nascidos em famílias pobres, expressou sua gratidão por um professor e por uma biblioteca municipal que o haviam ajudado a descobrir que existia algo além do espaço familiar. Para ele as pontes levadiças foram esse professor e essa biblioteca. Cito-o novamente: “No fundo, o conteúdo dos livros pouco importava. O importante era o que sentiam ao entrar na biblioteca, onde não viam a parede de livros negros mas sim um espaço e horizontes múltiplos que, desde a entrada, lhes tiravam da vida estreita do bairro”.

Is other a verb?


    Like many English words, other possesses great flexibility in meaning and function. Over the past few centuries, it has served as an adjective, an adverb, a noun, and a pronoun. In recent decades, other has increased its part-of-speech portfolio to include verb use, having acquired the meaning "to treat or consider (a person or a group of people) as alien to oneself or one's group.” Some people find it disconcerting when a word takes on a new part of speech, a process known as functional shift. The phenomenon is quite common, however -- our language contains many thousands of words which are reported to have been formed in this fashion.

In the sentence taken from the text “Over the past few centuries, it has served as an adjective, an adverb, a noun, and a pronoun”, the pronoun in bold letters refers to the word “other”. Sometimes, though, “it” does not have a referent and serves a grammatical function only, thus being named, for example, “dummy it”. Mark the alternative in which “it” has a referent.

    Speakers use a finite set of rules to produce and understand an infinite set of possible sentences. These rules comprise the grammar of a language, which is learned when you acquire the language and includes the sound system, the structure of words, how words may be combined into phrases and sentences, the ways in which sounds and meanings are related, and the words or lexicon. The sounds and meanings of these words are related in an arbitrary fashion. And so are the gestures used by deaf signers. Language, then, is a system that relates sounds (or hand and body gestures) with meanings; when you know a language you know this system.

Q3439622 Pedagogia
Em uma turma de Ensino Fundamental, o professor de inglês decide trabalhar o gênero “notícia” como parte de um projeto interdisciplinar. Antes de construir seu planejamento, consulta a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) para melhor compreender as orientações que o documento oferece para o trabalho com gêneros textuais na disciplina de língua inglesa.

Após a leitura do documento, o professor sente-se mais seguro para fazer sua proposta de atividade, que inclui três etapas:

I. A leitura de notícias recentes em português, sobre o Brasil, selecionadas pelo professor. O objetivo inicial é que estudantes ampliem seus horizontes sobre o que acontece ao seu redor no país. As primeiras tarefas na unidade buscam a identificação do gênero – por que foi escrito, onde, e para quem.
II. A transposição de uma das notícias lidas para o inglês, em um trabalho de grupo. Dentre as notícias em português analisadas, cada grupo seleciona uma de seu particular interesse, e a reescreve em inglês, simplificando-a para que se ajuste ao seu conhecimento da língua inglesa.
III. A revisão de erros produzidos pelos estudantes durante a escrita de seu texto em inglês. Partindo dos erros apresentam-se os aspectos linguísticos e de organização textual que caracterizam o gênero notícia e que devem ser respeitados em qualquer produção de texto no gênero.

O conteúdo da BNCC sobre o trabalho com gêneros textuais em língua inglesa permite avaliar as etapas propostas pelo professor e compreender como pertinentes as ponderações contidas na alternativa indicada a seguir.

Powerful storm knocks out power to 1.4 million homes in Brazil’s largest city


    SAO PAULO (AP) — Around 1.4 million households in Sao Paulo, Brazil, were without power on Saturday almost 24 hours after a brief but powerful storm swept through South America’s largest metropolis. At least seven people were killed.


    Officials in Sao Paulo state said that record winds of up to 67 mph (108 kph) knocked down transmission lines and destroyed trees, causing severe damage in some parts. The storm also shut down several airports and interrupted water service in several areas, according to the state government.


    Authorities originally expected to restore power within a few hours. But several neighborhoods in the metropolitan area, which is home to 21 million people, were still in the dark on Saturday, and authorities were urging residents to limit their consumption of water.

Even before they start reading the text “Powerful storm knocks out power to 1.4 million homes in Brazil’s largest city”, some students say they will not be able to understand it. And immediately mention the words “knock”, “households” and “swept”, in the headline and the first paragraph.

The literature about teaching reading in a second language mentions a variety of methods and approaches to deal with unknown vocabulary. Materials and teachers may instruct learners to

I. make use of the dictionary: they will not understand the text properly if they do not know all the words in it.
II. look for the pronunciation of the unknown words: the association between sound and spelling always helps comprehension.
III. ignore vocabulary difficulties and focus on grammar: meaning does not derive from words in isolation but from sentence structures.
IV. Pay attention to context and appeal to background knowledge on the subject: making inferences is key to learning a new language. 
V. Concentrate on text meaning rather than word meaning: words may be ignored if not essential to the comprehension of the text’s main points.

    Usage and use

    The distinction between language use and language usage was first made by Widdowson. He coined the term usage for language which conformed to pre-established paradigms of language. Usage is independent of context, and is related to language correctness.

     In contrast, use has to do with the speaker’s intention in producing a particular sentence. For example, the sentence “I don’t know what you mean”, said in a particular context, may imply a request for clarification; the same sentence, said in a different way and in a different context, may be an expression of disbelief.

    Most sentences in textbooks and in grammar practices are well-formed sentences. However, can you think of a real-life situation in which a sentence such as “This is my hand” is pronounced?
