Communication is something human. So, it can be done by: Verbal and nonverbal language . 2. Regarding posture, what should be avoided? Putting ones hands into ones pockets . The word Communication comes from the Latin word Communicare, which means share, to become 3. common. So, in order to communicate with a formal audience, the speaker should: Use formal language. language . Choose the alternative that is correct in relation to literaryworks and their nature: Literary works are those 4. that have significantly complex and detailed literary devices particularly in metaphor and symbolism Mark the best option for VERBAL language: is a property which is exclusive to mankind. It makes use of the 5. written or spoken language and is more complex than the non-verbal communication In order to guarantee a productive research and optimize the presentation of a seminar, there are some 6. steps that need to be followed. One of this steps is: The preparation for a seminar presentation begins a long time before the day of the presentation itself. "Um gênero textual público, relativamente formal e específico, no qual o expositor especialista dirige-se a 7. um auditório, de maneira estruturada (explicitamente), para lhe transmitir informações, descrever-lhe ou explicar alguma coisa". A definição anterior refere-se: Seminário The disadvantage of presenting a seminar individually is that: it can be very tiring for one person to present 8. the whole topic by him/herself. 9. One of the most important advantages of the seminar is: the opportunity students are given to develop themselves both academically and personally. 10. In order to avoid misjudgments and serious mistakes, applied linguists need to follow some steps that will ensure these professionals will come up with solutions in as informed and rational way as possible. One of these steps is: Set out to investigate and understand the facts of language use ; Davies (1999), (1999), since language language is everywhere, everywhere, this delimitation delimitation protects applied linguistics from 11. According to Davies being regarded as “the science of everything ”. The British Association for Applied Linguistics (BAAL) claims the following areas as their main concern: Language teaching 12. In order to avoid misjudgments and serious mistakes, applied linguists need to follow some steps that will ensure these professionals will come up with solutions in a way as informed and rational as possible. Mark the option that does not refer to what you´ve just read: Consider everything in class investigating issues in the real world i n which language is 13. An interdisciplinary field of study which aims at investigating implicated. In other words, it sets out to investigate both educational and social problems, and make decisions about the best course of action to take in dealing with them". The previous defi nition relates to: Applied linguistics 14. The methodology where teacher plays the role of a facilitator is: Communicative Language Teaching 15. The purpose of qualitative research is: to understand and interpret social interactions, while the purpose of quantitative research is to test hypotheses, look at cause and effect, and make predictions 16. Qualitative research: Hopes to develop universal laws out of a static reality, Research questions: How? Why? and Interpretive. 17. Quantitative research: Looks for explanatory laws, Exploration of a dynamic reality; does not believe that what is discovered in the process is universal, Research questions: How many? What? Where? When? and Measurable. 18. Reliability: concerns the consistency and replicability of research . 19. Internal reliability: concerns the consistency of data collection, analysis, and interpretation . 20. External reliability: concerns the extent to which other researchers can reproduce the study and obtain similar results. 21. Validity is: an indication of how solid your claims are. If your findings really represent the phenomenon you are studying, we can say that your claims are valid . 22. Internal validity concerns: the interpretability of research. External validity concerns the extent to which results can be generalized. 23. Research is: a systematic process of inquiry that consists of three components: A question, problem or hypothesis; Data; Analysis or interpretati interpretation on of data . 24. Research is conducted in order to: TO GET RESULTS providing better explanation of phenomena, from other types of enquiries, such as the simple search for information atividade e de pesquisa deve fazer parte do 25. Em relação à Pesquisa (research), está correto afirmar: A atividad trabalho do professor e do aprendizado do aluno. 26. According to Brumfit (2001), r esearch may be defined as a systematic process of inquiry that consists of three components. What are they? Data, a question and analysis of data 27. Research can be carried out in many different ways; however there are two main approaches that are: Qualitative and quantitative research. 1.
Types of Research: Plan Research, Identify Problem or Question(s), Share and Take Action, Reflect, Analyze and Interpret Interpret Data, Collect Data 29. Brown (2000) explains that student-centered-teaching includes: techniques that focus on or accounts for learners’ needs, styles and goals. Techniques that give some control to the student (group work or strategy training, for example). Curricula that include the consultation and input of students and that do not presuppose objectives in advance. Techniques that allow for student creativity and innovation. Techniques that enhance a student’s sense of competence and self -worth. self -worth. 30. Objective needs: these needs can be diagnosed through the analysis of the students’ personal information associated with information obtained about their linguistic proficiency. 31. Subjective needs: these needs are the desire and expectations these students have. 32. Based on what you read in this class, explain how the student-centered approach differ from the teachercentered approach Which preceded it. Enter your explanation in the space below: Teacher-centered teaching: Students used to be seen as passive learners who were not supposed to take r esponsibilit esponsibility y for their own learning. The teacher’s job was basically to lecture, design assignments and tests, and grade students. Student -centered: Focuses more on what the student is learning, how he is doing it and under what conditions. Teacher still has the functions he had in the teacher-centered teaching, but also provides students with opportunities to learn independently and from one another and coaches them in the skills they need to do so effectively. 33. We understand that communication is a comprehensive interchange of meaning between individuals, through symbols. But why did we use the word symbols, instead of words? Because of non-verbal language . 34. The Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is an approach that has been rather famous nowadays. The CLT consists in a view that language is represented by: A mean of communic communication, ation, despite the mistakes that could eventually be made. 35. The main characteristic of Qualitative Research is that: It only uses quantification when it is appropriate . 36. Compare teacher centered teaching to student centered teaching: In the former the focus is on what the teacher does in the classroom, while in the latter the focus is on what students are learning and how they are doing it. objectives are concerned, concerned, the methodology methodology which defends defends the focus focus on correct correct language language (mainly 37. As far as objectives spoken) is: Direct Method 38. The methodology whose didactic materials are organized into functions to introduce current and contextualized topics is: Communicative Language Teaching 39. Good speakers leave a good impression on their audience. Discuss two things they need to take into consideration considerati on in order to be successful in their presentation: presentat ion: The good impression starts start s with a good appearance, you should dress appropriately. Be prepared, it means you have to know the topic and it's important for the speaker avoid some gestures like: put one hand in the pocket, cross the arms or put them in your back. Choose carefully your words avoid using slangs or difficult words, your audience need to know what you are talking about. 40. It provides a more systematic means by which teachers can investigate the provisional specifications provided by theoretical-pedagogical research. It refers to: Action research research 41. The advantage of presenting a seminar individually is that: you will be the only person responsible for the entire presentation and you will not have to worry about your partners performance . 42. According to Brumfit (2001), r esearch may be defined as a systematic process of inquiry that consists of three components. One of them is: A question question. 43. Applied linguistics is a term that seems to have originated in the USA in the 1940s, and: It refers to an interdisciplinary field of study which aims at investigating issues in the real world in which language is implicated . 44. Nunan (2001) suggests that teachers might benefit considerably from reflecting on and examining their own practice systematically. It means that: Teachers should never stop research . 45. In order to avoid misjudgments and serious mistakes, applied linguists need to follow some steps that will ensure these professionals will come up with solutions in as informed and rational way as possible. Write at least one of these steps: Set out to investigate and understand the facts of language use; Organize and formalize what is known; Subject their knowledge to rational consideration and critical analysis. 46. What can be said about the relation between linguistics and applied linguistics? Linguistics provides all the theory, so that applied linguistics can solve language related problems. 47. The researcher and the teacher work together inside the teachers classroom, pooling their expertise in such a way that it gives the teacher control over decision-making. It refers to: Participatory research 28.
According to this excerpt: ¿It is an objective method of enquiry concerned with the systematic empirical investigation of social phenomena via statistical, mathematical or computational techniques. It is outcome oriented. It refers to: Quantitative research. 49. According to Ellis ( 1998), there are three types of research. Which of them implies the co-participation of teachers and researchers? Participatory research 50. The goal of this type of research is to develop technical knowledge by addressing theoretical issues of potential relevance to teachers. It refers to: Theoretical-pedagogical research 51.

The goal of this type of research is to develop technical knowledge by addressing theoretical issues of potential relevance to teachers. It refers to: Theoreticalpedagogical research 54. When addressing an audience, the speaker should: Use simple language that the audience can understand 55. Which of following statements is correct? Both types of research are equally reliable and valid . 56. When it comes to classroom research: It could be performed by any researcher and also by researchers who are teachers. 57. Why is it difficult to come up with a research question? Both a and b are right (Not all questions are worth asking - Not all questions can be answered) 58. Mark the option which is WRONG: The speaker should rely on inspiration during the presentation 59. When a person or group of people are preparing a seminar presentation: it is necessary to plan all the stages of the presentation carefully. 60. When it comes to group presentations: it is important to have meetings before the day of the presentation, so that you don’t have any negative surprises during the seminar . seminar . 61. Individual presentations: have advantages and disadvantages just like group presentations . 62. In the student-centered approach: ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ are correct (students become more autonomous and responsible for their own learning; the focus is on what students are learning and how they are doing it; the teacher does not have all the control). 63. According to the text, when it comes to teaching and researching, we can say that: It is not easy, but it is possible and important to do both. 64. Regarding student-centered teaching: It offers more advantages than disadvantages 65. The methodology that focuses on communicating in correct written English is: Grammar-translation Method 66. "The theoretical and empirical investigation of real-world problems in which language is a central issue". The previous citation refers to: Applied Linguistics language.its the sending sending of messages through through facial expressions, expressions, gestures gestures and body 67. Also known as body language.its movements". The previous information can be related to: Non-verbal communication 68. Brown (2000) explains that student-centered teaching includes the following items, EXCEPT: Students are seen as passive learners who are not supposed to take responsibility for their own learning 69. Ethnography: focus on the social world (description and interpretation of group); 70. Grounded theory: focus on the social world (development of theory); 71. Phenomenology: focus on lived experience 72. Case study: focus on particular cases 73. Life history: focus on the person 74. Action research: research: focus on professional action 75. Conversation analysis: focus on social interaction . 76. Mark the option that best fills in the blank: ___ inquiry is basically concerned with reaching a better understanding of some aspects of the lived world. Richards (2003) argues that despite the fact that it demands a good deal of rigor, precision, sistematicity sistemati city and careful attention to detail on the part of the researcher, qualitative inquiry is sometimes accused by some researchers of being soft, speculative and concerned with data: Qualitative 77. Richards (2003) lists a set of essential characteristics of qualitative research. Which of the items below IS NOT CORRECT? Focus on logic, numbers, and unchanging static data . 78. The methodology where the use of mother tongue is not used, but not prohibited is: Communicative Language Teaching 48.
Nunan (2007) identifies seven steps involved in action research and argues that one of the advantages of an investigation of this sort is that it can easily be replicated by other teachers. One of these steps is called ''INTERVENTION', which can be described as: Teacher devises strategies to solve the problem participants examine their their own educational educational practice systematically systematically and carefully, carefully, using 80. A process in which participants the techniques of research defines a type of research called: Action research research concerned, one can say that it is NOT their limitation: A subjective view of 81. As far as quantitative inquiry is concerned, the researcher 82. The main characteristics of Action Research are listed below, EXCEPT: It favours individualism 83. Nunan (2007), on the other hand, identifies seven steps involved in action research and argues that one of the advantages of an investigation of this sort is that it can easily be replicated by other teachers: Step 1 - Initiation: Identification of a problem Step 2 - Preliminary investigation: Data collection (observation/recording classroom interaction) Step 3 - Hypothesis: After reviewing the initial data, it's time to formulate a hypothesis Step 4 - Intervention: Teacher devises strategies to solve the problem Step 5 - Evaluation: After some weeks, the class is observed/recorded again Step 6 - Dissemination: If the problem was solved, the teacher runs a workshop for colleagues and/or presents a paper at a language conference Step 7 - Follow-up: Teacher investigates other methods for solving the same problem 84. Questionnaires Questionnair es can be useful tools. Which of the items below DOES NOT constit ute one advantage of using questionnaires as research documents? They are impersonal. impersonal . 85. The Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is an approach that has been rather famous. One aspect that had been disregarded in the past but has been reconsidered nowadays by advocates of this methodology is the: Explanation of grammar rules 86. A good example example of quantitativ quantitative e research is: Survey that concludes that the average patient has to wait two hours in the waiting room of a certain doctor before being selected . used and useful useful instrument instrument for for collecting survey information, information, providing providing structured, structured, often numerical 87. A widely used data, being able to be administered without the presence of the researcher, and often being comparatively straightforward to analyze, defines: A questionnaire questionnaire 88. The main characteristic of Qualitative Research is that: It only uses quantification when it is appropriate . 79.
