CLASS 01: WHAT MAKES A GOOD TEACHER?
TOPIC 01: INTRODUCTION
VERSO TEXTUAL DO FLASH

Welcome to TPICOS DE LNGUA INGLESA: PRTICAS ORAIS! Our course focuses on speaking and writing. The course follows a task based approach. A task is an activity in which learners have to use language meaningfully to achieve an outcome. The course encompasses four classes: CLASS 1: What makes a good teacher? CLASS 2: Take my advice CLASS 3: What is your learning style? CLASS 4: Anyone can tell a story Each class is divided in three topics: pre-task, task, post-task. In each class, you will have to perform a task. In order to get ready for the task of each class, you will perform several pre-task activities which are always related to the task. There is a variety of pre-task activities: listening, writing, speaking, and recording. The tasks also vary. But all of them, except the last one, will be performed in web conferences. After the performance of each task, you will also perform a post-task activity which is an opportunity to reflect upon the task performed so as to enhance and consolidate the language used during the task. We hope you profit from this task based language learning experience so as to improve your speaking and writing.

TASK

In this class you will be asked to select the best English teacher for a position in a local school. In order to get ready for the task, you will undergo some pre-task activities.

CLASS 02: TAKE MY ADVICE
TOPIC 03: TASK

Suppose you work in a Free Advice Corner of a magazine. Three people write telling about the dilemmas they have been facing and you need to find a solution for their problems. You need to reflect upon their dilemmas and be able to give a good piece of advice for these people. You and your classmates will take part in a web conference in which, as a group, you are going to decide on the best piece of advice for each person. Follow the steps below to get ready for the web conference.

STEP 1: READ ABOUT THE DILEMMA EACH ONE OF THESE PEOPLE IS FACING.
I am facing such a dilemma. My best friend Linda is engaged to get married next month. The problem is that I have seen John, her fianc, with someone else at a party. I didnt see John kissing the girl but they were holding hands and dancing in a romantic fashion. He has seen me but has pretended not to know me. What a dilemma! If I tell Linda that John was holding hands with another girl, she may break up with him and he might truly love Linda. Perhaps the girl was just an adventure for him. However, he is not being honest with my best friend. What if he keeps cheating on her after they get married? In addition to that, I may tell Linda, but John may say I am lying. So, what if Linda doesnt believe me? Or maybe it would be a good idea to talk John and ask him to tell everything to Linda by himself. It seems that I have three options: a) to tell Linda, b) not to tell her or c) make john tell her. Please, what should I do? Katherine What a terrible dilemma! My great friend Paul is having several financial problems and his son is really sick. Paul needed money to pay for a surgery so that his son will be fine. Paul was so desperate that he stole money from the company. I saw him taking the money. My boss found out that some money was stolen from the company and fired Richard thinking that he was the one who stole the money. Richard was fired, but he was innocent. The problem is that if I tell my boss that Paul was the one who stole the money he may lose his job and will have no money to pay for his sons surgery. His son may die. On the other hand, Richard is unemployed and that is not fair. I cant decide among: a) tell my boss b) not to tell my boss, c) talk to Paul d) talk to Richard Please, help me! What should I do? Nick Im facing a dramatic dilemma. My husband and I have five children and we need more money to raise our children. The money we make is not enough to support all of them. I got a wonderful job offer. The salary is really high. However, the job is in another city, very far away from the city we live now. The work hours are very long and I would have no time to be with my children. Also, There are no jobs for my husband there. I dont know if my
15

husband will accept to follow me and be unemployed at home taking care of the kids. However, we need more money. What should I do? Should I accept the job? Should I try to talk to my husband? Should I refuse the job offer?

Please, help me. Im very confused. Amy

PORTFOLIO ACTIVITY

STEP 2: Reflect upon these dilemmas. Before taking part in the web conference, write a good piece of advice to each one of these worried people in a word document and save it in your portfolio as Unit2, Topic 2, Act. 1. STEP 3: On the day of the web conference, you will tell your advice to your group and tutor. Be ready to answer questions about your advice and to ask questions about your classmates advice.

CLASS 04: ANYONE CAN TELL A STORY!
TOPIC 01: PRE-TASK

In this unit you will be asked to tell a story about a classmate. In order to get ready for the task, you will undergo some pre-task activities. A teacher is telling a story to her students. Read the story (A). Then, read the narrative structure of stories (B).
(A)

Once upon a time there was a boy named David who wanted to be God. He wanted to make many changes in the world. One day he met God and he told God to make cashews (Cajus) as big as pumpkins (Abboras) . So, God denied his request. God said that all cashews would continue to be small and all pumpkins would continue to be big. David was very mad at God. He decided to take a nap under a cashew tree. Suddenly, he woke-up with three cashews falling over his head. He immediately thought that if God has accepted his request, he would be dead by now. So, David gave up being God. Perhaps David realized that God always knows best! Adapted from Brincando com as palavras 1981
(B)

Anyone can tell a story! We all have stories to tell! Here are some hints to help us structure our stories. A story can follow a narrative structure which encompasses:
ORIENTATION (SITUATION) - provides person in time and space; COMPLICATION (PROBLEM) - introduces a problem; RESPONSE - reveals a response, reaction to the problem; RESOLUTION (SOLUTION) - solves the problem; CODA (EVALUATION) - overall reflection, a moral lesson.

Adapted from "Developing an educational linguistics for teacher education using the functional grammar" course by Frances Christie 33rd ISFC So Paulo
PRACTICE 1

Match the parts of the story you just read in (A) with the different stages of a narrative structure in (B). Perhaps, David realized that God always knows best. Once upon a time there was a boy named David who wanted to be God. David was very mad at God. He decided to take a nap under a cashew tree.

VERSO TEXTUAL

Sometimes when we lose ourselves in fear and despair, in routine and constancy, in hopelessness and tragedythere are pezinhos do Angeloni ( a supermarket). And, fortunately, when there aren't any pezinhos we can still find reassurance in some middle-of-the-night croissants Or the encouragement from an idolOr a beautiful sceneryOr a romantic dinnerOr learning Not to mention lobsters. And plums. And fish. And homebrand jam and lemons found in the middle of the street. And maybe the occasional e-mail from dear friends. And we must remember that all these things, all the nuances, the anomalies, the subtleties which we assume only accessorize our days.are in fact here for a much larger and nobler cause THEY ARE HERE TO SAVE OUR LIVES!
