inglês, mas não se sentem confiantes o suficiente para iniciar ou 
manter uma conversação. Em geral, as razões para isso são as

Exercício 1 – Aula 2. 
1 – De acordo com estudos (PCNs, 1998), para ser considerado 
BOM em uma língua devemos ser capazes de utilizá-la das mais 
variadas formas, ou seja, se você é um bom falante, mesmo que 
não goste de ouvir as pessoas, você deve procurar fazê-lo ainda 
que minimamente. Se você gosta de escutar as pessoas, mas não 
gosta de ler, estará perdendo chances de se aprimorar. Isso nos 
leva a crer que, para se comunicar com eficiência em uma dada 
língua estrangeira é necessário: 
R = praticar muito 
2 – Esta habilidade envolve o processo de receber e, ao mesmo 
tempo, de construir significados a partir de mensagens verbais. 
Refere-se ao processo de escutar algo com atenção minuciosa.

aprendizagem de inglês como língua estrangeira, é aperfeiçoar as 
quatro habilidades (listening, speaking, reading e writing), 
reforçando o conteúdo com doses de gramática, vocabulário e 
fonética. Embora isso seja demasiadamente importante, não é o 
objetivo final. O objetivo de se estudar uma dada língua estrangeira 
é: 
R = Tornar-se capaz de usá-la 
7 – "Hear" and "listen" are verbs that we use to talk about our sense 
of hearing - using our ears. But they have important differences in
