'Million Dollar Baby' Dominates Oscars
By SHARON WAXMAN and DAVID M. HALBFINGER
_____________________________________________________________________________
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 27 – In a year without
blockbusters in the biggest Oscar categories, "Million Dollar Baby," an intimate film about an underdog female boxer, captured four top awards Sunday at the 77th Academy Awards: best picture, best director, best actress and best supporting actor.

The victories overshadowed the three-hour epic
about the billionaire Howard Hughes, "The Aviator," which had __21__ nominations, 11. It won five awards, but its director, Martin Scorsese, was denied the Oscar for best director for the fifth time.

Jamie Foxx __22__ best actor for his masterly portrayal of the rhythm and blues musician Ray Charles in "Ray." A joyous Mr. Foxx, 37, tearfully recalled how his grandmother – "my first acting teacher" – told him how to carry himself, to "act like you got some sense" and beat him when he __23__ .

"Now she talks to me in my dreams," he said,
breaking down in tears. "And I can't wait to go to sleep tonight __24__ we got a lot to talk about. I love you."

Morgan Freeman won best supporting actor for his portrayal of a worldly-wise ex-boxer. Mr. Freeman, nominated four times in his career, __25__ a standing ovation as he accepted the Oscar, his first.

Asked to comment on the large number of
nominations for black actors this year – five nominations for four actors – Mr. Freeman observed: "It means Hollywood is continuing to make history. Life goes on. Things change. They __26__ stay the same. We are evolving with the rest of the world.”
(Adapted from New York Times, February 28, 2005)

_____________________________________________________________________________
On any flight between Sydney and Melbourne there would be at  ......  one Australian woman exactly like Lady Weare. She was half a stone overweight, and her knitted woollen suit, which she wore because she expected Melbourne to be cold, did nothing for her figure. Her hair was going grey and she couldn't waste time at the hairdresser's. Her husband and children loved her anyway. Her immovable face, which made her look like Queen Victoria, was more haughty than usual because her new shoes were giving her hell. She had bought them yesterday especially for this trip and they were too tight. She would continue to wear them because they were expensive and elegant. They exactly matched her off-white handbag. She also carried a shabby briefcase full of papers which she needed for her speech at the conference in Melbourne, and other papers for the committee meeting in Adelaide.

The briefcase didn't match anything except Lady Weare who was worn with a lifetime of work. It was as much part of her personality as the glasses she wore when she was reading, something indispensable which must not be mislaid.

What is meant by reflective teaching? Writing in the
area of language education, Pennington states that “the term reflective teaching has come to signify a movement in teacher education, in which student teachers or working teachers analyze their own practice and its underlying basis, and then consider alternative means for achieving their ends...” (1992, p. 48). She continues, “The use of the term reflection in the context of instruction can __36__ in the sense of thoughtful consideration, __37__ in the sense of mirroring, symbolizing or representing” (p. 48).

Another definition comes from Richards & Lockhart
(1994, p.1). They state that a reflective approach to
teaching is “one in which teachers and student teachers collect data about teaching, examine their attitudes, beliefs, assumptions and teaching practices, and use the information obtained as a basis for critical reflection about teaching.” Because such reflection involves a critical component, reflective teaching can serve as a means of
contributing to one’s professional development. Richards & Lockhart go on to articulate five assumptions about teacher development (pp. 3-4):
1. An informed teacher has an extensive knowledge base about teaching.
2. Much can be learned about teaching through self-inquiry.
3. Much of what happens in teaching is unknown to the teacher.
4. Experience is insufficient as a basis for development.
5. Critical reflection can trigger a deeper understanding of teaching.

One reason why experience is insufficient as a basis
for development is that often “we teach as we have been taught” (Bailey, et al., 1996, p. 11). This truism holds because of the “power exerted by the implicit models in a future teacher’s own lifelong education” (p. 11). Based on research conducted with language teachers, Freeman notes that “the memories of instruction gained through their ‘apprenticeship of observation’ function as de facto guides for teachers as they approach what they do in the classroom” (1992, p.3). Critically reflecting on our own practice, then, is one way to bring to the level of awareness
what it is that we do and why. As Larsen-Freeman has noted (1983), awareness is the first step toward __38__ able to change our teaching practice.

Atenção: As questões de números 44 a 50 referem-se ao texto abaixo.

_____________________________________________________________________________

In recent years language teachers __44__ on the role of the learner as an active participant in the teaching
learning process. Focusing on the learner is a natural 
outgrowth of a change in orientation __45__ behaviorist to cognitive theories of learning. That change has highlighted what the learner does and how the learner processes information during the lesson rather than focusing on what the teacher does.

The outgrowth of the cognitive approach has been
perceived in language teaching together with reflections about the relationship between thinking and language. Teachers who want to promote thinking should try to observe how students produce knowledge rather than how they merely reproduce knowledge. Producing knowledge requires the use of a number of thinking skills such as analytical, lateral, problem solving, critical creative, and reflective thinking (Rose and Nicholl 1997).

Although thinking skills can be learned by practicing, like playing tennis and swimming, they require more effort than many teachers realize. To emphasize thinking skills, a teacher must organize course objectives well and must be aware of his or her own values, perceptions, assumptions, and judgments as well as those of the learners as these are closely related to thinking (Heuer 1999).(Üstülüoglu, Evrim “Language teaching through critical thinking and self-awareness”.
