Leffa (2016) proposes analyzing the lexical development process through three dimensions, namely quantity, depth and productivity.
Regarding these three dimensions, associate the items, using the following code:

I. Quantity II. Depth III. Productivity

( ) Considers the evolution that goes from superficial knowledge to complex knowledge of the word.
( ) Considers lexical development along a continuum of words known by the learner.
( ) Considers the ability to establish paradigmatic, syntagmatic and collocational relationships.
( ) Considers the opposition between receptive knowledge and active knowledge of the lexicon.

The correct association, from top to bottom, is

All teachers have a theory of how teaching assists learning. Teachers may base their teaching on intuitive notions of what works rather than on explicit principles of how they can best promote learning in their students (Celse-Murcia, 2013). Rod Ellis wrote 12 principles of instructed language acquisition to help teachers ___________ their own __________.
The words that complete the sentence correctly are:

According to Alves (et al., 2020), considering teaching pronunciation in English as a Foreign Language class, mark T for True statements and F for False ones.

( ) Learners have more difficulty learning sounds that are phonetically closer, because they tend not to perceive them as different.
( ) The goal of learning pronunciation is to teach learners to speak like native speakers.
( ) It is important to highlight specific differences in the vowel systems of the native language and the target language in order to avoid intelligibility problems in communication.
( ) Students need resources to be able to understand speakers with different profiles, as well as to make their speech more intelligible.

The correct sequence of True and False statements, from top to bottom, is

According to Leffa and Guimarães and Silva (In: SILVA & DIAS, 2020), the teaching of English in Integrated High School with Technical Education in the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology has its own particularities.
Select the statement that best elucidates its objective:

According to Leffa (2016), there are different strategies to increase both the student's cognitive and affective investment in intentional vocabulary learning in L2. With this in mind, mark T for True statements and F for False ones.

( ) Students should learn new words within a meaningful context. The subjects in the student's curriculum can represent the ideal context for lexical development, making learning more authentic and communicative.
( ) There are words that are more frequent and others that will rarely be encountered by students. Considering the ease with which the most frequent terms can be identified, priority should be given to teaching and analyzing less frequent words.
( ) Regarding retention strategies, the most pertinent proposals involve a conscious effort to retain both the form and content of the word.

The correct sequence of True and False statements, from top to bottom, is

Effective listening skills can enhance language learning. Consequently, teaching L2 listening effectively has become a crucial responsibility for language educators. Anna Chang (In: RENANDYA & WIDODO, 2016) outlines a theory-driven listening lesson, consisting of three stages: pre-listening, while-listening and post-listening. Connect each stage with its purposes, using the following code:

I. Pre-listening II. While-listening III. Post-listening

( ) Verify understanding, clear up any confusion, and consider challenges faced during listening.
( ) Engage in straightforward tasks that require minimal writing or reading.
( ) Complete tasks of various difficulty levels, focusing on different elements of the information.
( ) Define the objectives for listening exercises.
( ) Stimulate relevant prior knowledge and provide language support.

The correct association, from top to bottom, is:

Swan (2005) explains that phonology is the study of the sound systems of languages, particularly how sounds function to convey meaning. This involves analyzing the arrangement and patterns of sounds (phonemes) in a particular language.
Which phonological process is responsible for the phenomenon where the sound /t/ is pronounced as [ʧ] (a voiceless postalveolar affricate) in the word "nature" due to the influence of the following /ʊr/?

According to Lourdes Ortega (2011), there are different approaches to explaining variability of L2 learning across individuals. The following excerpt is related to a critical approach:


“As Norton and Toohey (2001) explain, in this perspective constructs such as motivation, aptitude, and other individual differences are reconceptualized as stemming from the interplay between people’s understanding of themselves in the world and the constraints, material and symbolic, that their worlds afford them. These understandings are dialectically shaped by the hopes and aspirations of individuals and by the power structures of the societal milieus that they inhabit”

ORTEGA, 2011, p. 179. In: SIMPSON, J. (Ed.) The Routledge Handbook of Applied Linguistics. London: Routledge, 2011).


Which statement best exemplifies the critical perspective in language learning?

Murphy (2007) posits that a morpheme represents the smallest meaningful unit in a language. It can be a full word or a part of a word, like a prefix or suffix, which changes its meaning.
Which of the following terms, related to medical terminology shows the use of a derivational morpheme to alter its word class from a verb to a noun?
