He wants to color outside the lines (preposition)
After the summer ended he went back home (conjunction)
He wants to color outside (adverb)

Explicação:
Prepositions can act as adverbs or as conjunctions. So, let¿s see the difference:
A preposition initiates a noun, adjective or adverb, whereas a conjunction initiates a clause:

· (conjunction) before/after/since the summer ended
· (preposition) It looks like another rainy day
· (conjunction) It looks like it's going to rain again today
Prepositions will always take an object, adverbs do not. You test for an object by asking the question, What? after the word in question. If it has an object, it is a preposition, if it doesn't, it is an adverb.
· He wants to color outside. (adverb)
· He wants to color outside the lines. (preposition)

Explicação:
ATTRIBUTIVE ADJECTIVES are part of the noun phrase headed by the noun they modify In English, attributive adjectives precede their nouns in simple phrases. - I saw three happy kids
PREDICATIVE ADJECTIVES are linked via a copula or other linking mechanism to the noun or pronoun they modify: - They are happy.
BSOLUTE ADJECTIVES belong to a larger larger adjective phrase, and typically modify either the subject of a sentence or whatever noun or pronoun they are closest to: - The boy, happy with his lollipop, did not look where he was going.
SUBSTANTIVE ADJECTIVES act almost as nouns. It may occur in the following cases: - A noun is elided and an attributive adjective is left behind: "I read two books to them; he preferred the sad book, but she preferredthe happy," (happy is a substantive adjective, short for "happy one" or "happy book.")
3.
In which alternative the adjective is not-inherent?
A small businessman
A complete chapter
A heavy burden
A social survey
Distant hills
Explicação:
The adjective small in a small businessman does not describe an attribute of the businessman. It cannot be reformulated as a businessman who is small. Instead, it refers to a businessman whose business is small. We refer to adjectives of this type as NON-INHERENT adjectives. They refer less directly to an attribute of the noun than inherent adjectives do.

In which sentence the adjective is POSTPOSITIVE?
a) The green door opened slowly. (green)
c) The share-holders present voted against the Chairman. (present)
b) This stretch of water is dangerous. (dangerous)
d) Jan feels ill. (ill)
e) A larger than normal pay increase was awarded to the nurses. (larger)
Explicação:
ATTRIBUTIVE adjectives come before the noun which they modify.
· He ate a delicious mango.
· Poor can¿t afford expensive clothes.
PREDICATIVE adjectives come after a verb.
· Your problem seems difficult.
· That book was good.
POSTPOSITIVE adjectives come immediately after the modified noun. In some languages this is the normal syntax, but in English it is rare, largely confined to archaic or institutional expressions. Aplenty, galore, and the informal extraordinaire are examples of adjectives that are primarily used postpositively in modern English. Name suffixes, such as Junior and Senior, also function as postpositive adjectives modifying proper names.
· Aplenty: In plentiful supply; abundant: "There were warning signs aplenty for their candidates as well" (Michael Gelb).
· Galore: In great numbers; in abundance: "with balloons and hot dogs . . . and fireworks galore" (Anne Armstrong).
· Extraordinaire: Extraordinary: a jazz singer extraordinaire.

In which alternative there is a WRONG concept?
Homophones are words with the same sound and different spelling.
Polysemes are words with the same spelling, the same pronunciation, same meanings and with the same origin.
Homonyms are words with the same spelling, the same pronunciation, different meanings and unrelated in origin.
Capitonyms are words that share the same spelling but have different meanings when capitalized (and may or may not have different pronunciations).
Homographs are words with different sound and same spelling.
Explicação:
POLYSEME = same sound, same spelling, different meaning
The word polysemes comes from the Greek roots poly meaning ¿many¿ and seme meaning ¿meaning.¿ Thus, polyseme refers to a multiple meaning word. Polysemy is the state of being a word with multiple meanings. The word polysemes may not be used much, but there are many, many English words with multiple meanings, and this makes it a topic worth knowing about.

A pun is a form of word play which suggests two or more meanings, by exploiting multiple meanings of words, or of similar-sounding words, for an intended humorous or rhetorical effect. Puns are used to create humor and sometimes require a large vocabulary to understand. Puns have long been used by comedy writers, such as William Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, and George Carlin.
Irony is used to stress on the opposite meaning of a word. When people are looking to be sarcastic, they employ irony.
A metaphor is a figure of speech that says that one thing is another different thing. This allows us to use fewer words and forces the reader or listener to find the similarities.

1. Cada língua apresenta uma estrutura específica.
2. Essa estruturação é evidenciada a partir de três níveis - o fonológico, o morfológico e o sintático - que constituem uma hierarquia, com o fonológico na base e o sintático no topo.
3. Cada nível é constituído por unidades do nível imediatamente inferior: as construções são sequências de palavras; as palavras, sequências de morfemas; os morfemas, sequências de fonemas.
4. A descrição de uma língua deve começar pelas unidades mais simples, prosseguindo, então, à descrição das unidades cada vez mais complexas.
5. Cada unidade é definida em função de sua posição estrutural ¿ de acordo com os elementos que a precedem e que a seguem na construção.
6. Na descrição, é necessária absoluta objetividade, o que exclui o estudo da semântica do escopo da linguística.

Explicação:
O estruturalismo entende que a língua é um sistema, ou seja, um conjunto de unidades que obedecem a certos princípios de funcionamento, constituindo um todo coerente. O estruturalismo, por conseguinte, compreende que a língua, uma vez formada por elementos coesos, inter-relacionados, que funcionam a partir de um conjunto de regras, constitui uma organização, um sistema, uma estrutura. Essa organização dos elementos se estrutura seguindo leis internas, ou seja, estabelecidas dentro do próprio sistema.

Behaviorism → as the name suggests, it focused on people¿s behaviors which could be directly observable.
In this proposal, ____
the mind was seen as an empty case and only at the age of three, a child would be able to assimilate language.
one can easily notice that behaviorism is not associated with the stimulus- response theory.
mental systems underlying these behaviors were not considered.
behaviorists explained that children did not learn through imitation.
language was not seen as a kind of verbal behavior.
Explicação:
"Behaviorism is an attitude -- a way of conceiving of empirical constraints on psychological state attribution. Strictly speaking, behaviorism is a doctrine -- a way of doing psychological science itself.
Behavior can be described and explained without making ultimate reference to mental events or to internal psychological processes. The sources of behavior are external (in the environment), not internal (in the mind, in the head)" (https://seop.illc.uva.nl/entries/behaviorism/)

De acordo com os princípios/crenças do Método Audiolingual, sabe-se que o ensino de uma língua estrangeira deve:
Reforçar um ensino como foco na fala e na leitura.
Reforçar um ensino com foco na leitura e escrita.
Reforçar um ensino com foco na compreensão oral e na fala depois da leitura e da escrita
Reforçar um ensino com foco na leitura e escrita antes da fala e da compreensão oral.
Reforçar um ensino com foco na compreensão oral e na fala antes da leitura e da escrita.
Explicação:
O Método Audiolingual segue a crença de que o aprendizado de uma língua estrangeira é semelhante ao da língua materna é responsável pela sequência em que as habilidades linguísticas devem ser trabalhadas: compreensão oral, fala, leitura e escrita.

Leia o texto a seguir:
"Fortemente desenvolvido nos Estados Unidos nas décadas de 40-50, possuía como base a visão da teoria estruturalista de linguagem, que consiste em um conjunto básico de padrões de sentenças e estruturas gramaticais elaboradas, a partir de elementos mais simples (sentenças eram compostas de frases, que eram compostas de morfemas e estes eram compostos de fonemas). Aliada a essa visão, a língua estraneira era vista como algo essencialmente oral e não escrito e, portanto, havia o pressuposto de que a fala era o elemento mais importante no ensino de idiomas".
► Sabe-se que as informações precedentes dizem respeito a seguinte proposta de ensino:
Método Audiolingual
Método Direto
Método Lexical
Método Comunicativo
Método de Gramática e Tradução

4. Em termos de aprendizagem de línguas, o processo seria também feito através de respostas e estímulos.
► Os itens acima dizem respeito a um dos pressupostos teóricos que embasam o Método Audiolingual. A que paradigma esses itens estão relacionados?
Paradigma formal
Paradigma desenvolvimentista
Paradigma estruturalista
Paradigma cognitivista
Paradigma behaviorista
Explicação:
A teoria behaviorista, ao tomar o próprio comportamento como objeto de estudo da psicologia, rompe com a compreensão de que as impressões, criadas na mente do homem pelos objetos e eventos, geram seu comportamento. Segundo essa corrente da psicologia, o comportamento humano é totalmente explicável e, portanto, previsível, a partir das situações em que se manifesta o conjunto de uma excitação ou estímulo e de uma resposta ou ação. Assim sendo, no que diz respeito ao comportamento linguístico, a psicologia behaviorista fornece a seguinte explicação: uma comunidade ensina o indivíduo a emitir uma dada resposta verbal (a expressar um termo), provendo estímulos reforçadores quando essa resposta ocorre na presença da coisa para a qual o termo proferido é tomado como referente.

Which topics do researchers usually take into account in the process of foreign language acquisition ?
Verb tenses, vocabulary, grammar structure.
Speaking, reading , writing.
The capacity of understanding, the writing ability, the mastering of vocabulary.
Pronunciation, Accent, Vocabulary and Grammar.
Grammar, reading ability, written communication.
Explicação:
In order to understand the process of second/foreign language acquisition, researchers usually concentrate on a few topics, such as:
Pronunciation ¿ How does it change during the learning process?
Accent ¿ How does it change over time?
Vocabulary ¿ What words do learners use? How do learners build their vocabulary up?
Grammar ¿ How do learners develop their ability to produce a specific grammar structure?
Why did the Grammar Translation method start to decline?
Because the method emphasized grammar.
Because learners felt it was very hard to learn a foreign language.
Because learners were more concerned with the oral communication of language.
Since there was no theory to support this method and also due to different social demands that were beginning to emerge in the nineteenth century, the Grammar translation method started to decline.
Because in the nineteenth century people did not see any reason for studying foreign languages.
Explicação:
Dealing with a method with no theory to support it must have been a hard task. Social demands typical of the nineteenth century also contributed for the decline of this method.

What do methods seem to be based on?
They seem to follow the criteria which is in fashion at the moment it is created.
Methods seem to be based on very different views of what language is and how a language is learned.
Methods are based on the teacher's needs and his/her commitment and on the fact that we all need to communicate. Nowadays with the advent of internet, people need to speak good English.
Methods seem to have to do with the researcher's own experience and personal opinions.
They seem to be based on the teacher's goal of language study and their preferences as far as techniques are concerned.
Explicação:
Methods appear to be based on very different views of what language is and how a language is learned. Some methods recommend apparently strange and unfamiliar classroom techniques and practices; others are described in books that are hard to locate, obscurely written, and difficult to understand. Above all, the practitioner is often bewildered by the lack of any comprehensive theory of what an approach and method are.

"O ensino de línguas estrangeiras mediado pelo uso do Método Audiolingual atingiu seu ápice no final dos anos 50. Após duas décadas de êxito e fama internacionais, um conjunto de fatoreshistórico-sociais ganha corpo em todo o mundo. O mundo assim polarizado exige um reposicionamento socioeconômico e cultural: o avanço crescente da proposta capitalista agora demanda mão de obra qualificada, promovendo um novo e inevitável surto migratório. No lado oriental, populações inteiras tentam escapar da cortina de ferro criada pelo bloco socialista, buscando os países do ocidente como tábua de salvação para o caos econômico, social e político que começava a se desenhar dentro desses países que adotavam uma proposta de governo totalitário. O apogeu da polarização político-econômica configura-se com a sistematização de um conflito ideológico não armado, através do qual as duas superpotências supracitadas - Estados Unidos e União Soviética - buscam conquistar países simpatizantes às suas propostas em cada parte do globo: são os anos da Guerra Fria.
Em meio a essa fermentação política e, devido às novas demandas educacionais fomentadas pela reconfiguração social e da nova perspectiva do mercado de trabalho mundial (desenham-se os primeiros rascunhos de uma perspectiva de mundo globalizado), começam a ficam ficar evidentes os pontos fracos da proposta metodológica audiolingualista".
► Com base no acima exposto e, tendo-se em mente os fundamentos teóricos do Método Audiolingual, a década de 60 figura como um marco para:
O ressurgimento e revalorização do Método de Gramática e Tradução
O enfoque cada vez maior da perspectiva behaviorista de aprendizagem
A total reformulação do Método Audiolingual
A revitalização da teoria linguística de cunho estruturalista
O surgimento de um conjunto de métodos de perpectiva holística, embasados em fontes humanistas
Explicação:
A partir da década de 60, começam a ficam ficar evidentes os pontos fracos da proposta metodológica audiolingualista: os modelos de diálogos situacionais não conseguem prever a dinamicidade dos atos comunicativos, a variabilidade de possibilidades de articulação dos elementos linguísticos e a influência de itens interculturais no jogo discursivo. Ou seja: muito mais do que saber como as regras gramaticais do sistema linguístico são articuladas, torna-se primordial saber adequá-las a cada evento comunicativo. Um dos itens de grande reestruturação diz respeito as papéis de professores e alunos no ambiente de sala de aula, graças à visão humanista que começa a ganhar força na época.

Outrossim, os avanços investigativos no campo da linguística, especialmente graças às contribuições do norte-americano Noam Chomsky, exigem uma reorganização em vários conceitos teórico-metodológicos que até então eram vistos como ideais. Nesse sentido, o Método Silencioso representa uma das primeiras tentativas de ajuste ao que vinha sendo praticado dentro do universo do Método Audiolingual."
► Dentre as técnicas aplicada em sala de aula pelos proponentes do Método Silencioso, podemos incluir as seguintes, EXCETO:
Autocorreção
Uso de fichas coloridas associadas a sons ou palavras
Correção feita em pares
Uso de gestos para facilitar a compreensão
Maximização do tempo de fala do professor
Explicação:
A tese basilar do Método Silencioso está em minimizar o tempo de fala do professor e maximizar o tempo de fala dos alunos em cada uma das aulas.

"Uma das queixas mais recorrentes entre os aprendizes de línguas estrangeiras jaz especificamente no bloqueio que se dá exatamente quando eles são expostos a situações comunicativas reais na língua-alvo. Você certamente já ouviu falar de pessoas que literalmente 'travam' quando têm que falar inglês, por exemplo. Ou ainda, você talvez conheça pessoas que, embora se esforcem ao máximo para dominar a língua inglesa, sempre têm 'um branco mental' no exato momento em que precisam utilizar a língua inglesa, especialmente no ambiente de trabalho. Por que será que esses eventos ocorrem? Que fatores causam esses bloqueios? Seria possível sugestionar a nossa mente para o aprendizado da língua inglesa, eliminando tais complexos ou traumas registados em nossa mente?"

Leia o texto a seguir:
"Essa perspectiva de ensino se concentrou no desenvolvimento da proficiência e de palavras ou combinações de palavras. Esse modelo de ensino baseia-se na ideal de que uma parte importante da aquisição de uma língua é a habilidade de compreender e produzir frases lexicais como fragmentos inteiros não analisados e que esses fragmentos se tornam dados não elaborados pelos quais os alunos percebem padrões de linguagem, geralmente considerados como gramática".
