Women’s rights convention – Sojourner Truth
Convenção dos direitos das mulheres – Sojourner Truth
One of the most unique and interesting speeches of the convention was made by Sojourner Truth, an emancipated slave. It is impossible to transfer it to paper or convey any adequate idea of the effect it produced upon the audience. Those only can appreciate it who saw her powerful form, her wholesouled, earnest gesture, and listened to her strong and truthful tones. She came forward to the platform and addressing the President said with great simplicity:
Um dos discursos mais singulares e interessantes da convenção foi proferido por Sojourner Truth, uma escrava emancipada. É impossível transferi-lo para o papel ou transmitir qualquer ideia adequada do efeito que produziu no público. Só podem apreciá-lo aqueles que viram a sua forma poderosa, o seu gesto sincero e sincero, e ouviram os seus tons fortes e verdadeiros. Ela subiu à tribuna e, dirigindo-se ao Presidente, disse com grande simplicidade:
"May I say a few words?" Receiving an affirmative answer, she proceeded: I want to say a few words about this matter. I am a woman's rights. I have as much muscle as any man and can do as much work as any man. I have plowed and reaped and husked and chopped and mowed, and can any man do more than that?
"Posso dizer algumas palavras?" Recebendo uma resposta afirmativa, ela prosseguiu: Quero dizer algumas palavras sobre este assunto. Eu sou os direitos de uma mulher. Tenho tantos músculos quanto qualquer homem e posso trabalhar tanto quanto qualquer homem. Eu arei, colhi, descasquei, cortei e ceifei, e alguém pode fazer mais do que isso?
I have heard much about the sexes being equal. I can carry as much as any man, and can eat as much too, if I can get it. I am as strong as any man that is now. As for intellect, all I can say is, if a woman has a pint, and a man a quart -- why can't she have her little pint full?
Já ouvi falar muito sobre os sexos serem iguais. Posso carregar tanto quanto qualquer homem, e também posso comer tanto, se conseguir. Eu sou tão forte quanto qualquer homem que é agora. Quanto ao intelecto, tudo o que posso dizer é: se uma mulher bebe meio litro e um homem um quarto - por que ela não pode beber um litro cheio?
You need not be afraid to give us our rights for fear we will take too much; -- for we can't take more than our pint will hold. The poor men seem to be all in confusion, and don't know what to do. Why children, if you have woman's rights, give it to her and you will feel better. You will have your own rights, and they won't be so much trouble. I can't read, but I can hear.
Não é preciso ter medo de nos dar os nossos direitos por receio de que tomemos demasiado, porque não podemos tomar mais do que a nossa caneca aguenta. Os pobres homens parecem estar todos confusos e não sabem o que fazer. Mas, meninos, se têm os direitos da mulher, dêem-lhos e sentir-se-ão melhor. Terão os vossos próprios direitos e eles não darão tanto trabalho. Eu não sei ler, mas sei ouvir.
I have heard the bible and have learned that Eve caused man to sin. Well, if a woman upset the world, do give her a chance to set it right side up again. The Lady has spoken about Jesus, how he never spurned woman from him, and she was right. When Lazarus died, Mary and Martha came to him with faith and love and besought him to raise their brother. And Jesus wept and Lazarus came forth. And how came Jesus into the world?
Ouvi a Bíblia e aprendi que Eva levou o homem a pecar. Bem, se uma mulher transtornou o mundo, dêem-lhe uma oportunidade de o endireitar de novo. A Senhora falou de Jesus, de como ele nunca rejeitou as mulheres, e tinha razão. Quando Lázaro morreu, Maria e Marta foram ter com ele com fé e amor e pediram-lhe que ressuscitasse o irmão. Jesus chorou e Lázaro ressuscitou. E como é que Jesus veio ao mundo?
Through God who created him and the woman who bore him. Man, where was your part? But the women are coming up blessed be God and a few of the men are coming up with them. But man is in a tight place, the poor slave is on him, woman is coming on him, he is surely between a hawk and a buzzard.
Através de Deus que o criou e da mulher que o deu à luz. Homem, onde estava a tua parte? Mas as mulheres estão a subir, bendito seja Deus, e alguns homens estão a subir com elas. Mas o homem está num lugar apertado, o pobre escravo está em cima dele, a mulher está a vir para cima dele, ele está certamente entre um falcão e um abutre.

Questions 29 to 31 must be answered by looking at the following sentence from Text 1:
I have plowed and reaped and husked and chopped and mowed, and can any man do more than that?
👉 Questão 29 :
We may say that the verbs Sojourner uses are:
(A) in the Simple Past tense, because all the verbs are preceded by “and” (reaped, husked, chopped, mowed), except the first one (plowed).
(B) in the Perfect Future tense, because she’s talking about her intentions and abilities (she can do all these things that men can).
(C) connected through their grammatical meaning because they’re from completely different lexical contexts.
(D) connected through their lexical meaning and we cannot determine which verb tense they are without reading the whole text.
(E) in the Present Perfect tense, because she starts with “I have plowed” and then omits the auxiliary in the sequence (reaped, husked, chopped, mowed).

Questions 36 to 42 relate to teaching skills and abilities:
👉 Questão 36 :
Larsen-Freeman (2003, p. 34) asserts that “there is much more of concern in the teaching and learning of grammar than whether or not students produce grammatical forms accurately” and she goes on to say that “the complexity is partly captured by the fact that form is only one of three dimensions, all of which play a part in grammaring”. The other two dimensions she refers to are:
(A) tense and aspect, which refer to verbs and their conjugations in general.
(B) time and space, which refer to circumstances and context.
(C) reception and production, which refer to the other four skills – listening, reading, writing and speaking.
(D) meaning and use, which refer to semantics and pragmatics, respectively.
(E) writing and speaking, which refer to graphology and phonology, respectively.
👍 Comentários e Gabarito D
TÓPICO - IDEIA CONTEXTUAL ou INFORMAÇÃO DENTRO DO TEXTO :
👉 Questão 37 :
According to Larsen-Freeman (2003), it’s possible to assert that focusing on the dynamics of language (grammaring) is very important and it helps improve teaching/ learning abilities because:
I. it allows teachers/ learners to understand language as having an organic dynamism that renders it simultaneously flexible (real-time) and stable (over-time).
II. teachers/ learners tend to perceive language as an idealized, objectified, atemporal “thing” that can be easily understood by the examination of its parts, which is very limited.
Looking at I and II, the most appropriate conclusion is that:
(A) I and II are correct, and they’re both reasons for focusing on grammaring.
(B) I and II are correct, but they’re not reasons for focusing on grammaring.
(C) I is incorrect, but II is correct.
(D) I is correct, but II is incorrect.
(E) I and II are incorrect.

👉 Questão 38 :
In practical terms, focusing on a grammar topic may be a challenge for the teacher and the student. Using the Passive Voice as mere example, LarsenFreeman (2003, p. 47) states that “the ultimate challenge of the passive voice is not form” because “although it is a grammatical form, it is not the form that presents the learning challenge”. In her example, focusing on form, teachers may mistakenly choose to introduce the passive as a transformed version of the active, implying they are interchangeable or that all passive sentences include the agent, which is definitely not the case. A good alternative to teaching through form could be to:
(A) have students copy a few sentences from the board and sort out their similarities and differences so as to measure students’ awareness and only then start a possible sentence transformation exercise.
(B) bring realia to class so students can get involved with the class, which in this case could mean buying students gifts and then making them create sentences starting with “a gift” e.g. A gift was given to João.
(C) do a three dimensional analysis of the language item and think about where the long term learning challenge lies, which in many cases may be in when / why one should choose this or that language structure.
(D) take a grammar book to class and have students memorize the rules until they know them by heart and then have them orally transform sentences back and forth, according to the language item.
(E) do a three dimensional analysis of the language item and think about ways to contrast it with other similar ones so students can focus on how they may put the parts of the sentences together.

👉 Questão 39 :
Still in practical terms, focusing on lexical terms may be a challenge for the teacher and the student. Penny Ur (2012, p. 69) alerts teachers to the importance of revising vocabulary instead of testing students on it so as to “consolidate and deepen students’ basic knowledge”. It’s important to focus the revision on single-items as well as items in context, using a wide range of exercises, which means, for example:
I. conducting dictations.
II. having students brainstorm in groups.
III. doing a quick bingo.
IV. composing stories together.
V. finding collocations on websites or dictionaries.
The alternative that best matches the exercises suggested above with their target language is:
(A) single-items; all of them.
(B) items in context; all of them.
(C) single-items: I, III, V; items in context: II and IV.
(E) writing and speaking, which refer to graphology and phonology, respectively.

👉 Questão 37 :
According to Larsen-Freeman (2003), it’s possible to assert that focusing on the dynamics of language (grammaring) is very important and it helps improve teaching/ learning abilities because:
I. it allows teachers/ learners to understand language as having an organic dynamism that renders it simultaneously flexible (real-time) and stable (over-time).
II. teachers/ learners tend to perceive language as an idealized, objectified, atemporal “thing” that can be easily understood by the examination of its parts, which is very limited.
Looking at I and II, the most appropriate conclusion is that:
(A) I and II are correct, and they’re both reasons for focusing on grammaring.
(B) I and II are correct, but they’re not reasons for focusing on grammaring.
(C) I is incorrect, but II is correct.
(D) I is correct, but II is incorrect.
(E) I and II are incorrect.

👉 Questão 38 :
In practical terms, focusing on a grammar topic may be a challenge for the teacher and the student. Using the Passive Voice as mere example, LarsenFreeman (2003, p. 47) states that “the ultimate challenge of the passive voice is not form” because “although it is a grammatical form, it is not the form that presents the learning challenge”. In her example, focusing on form, teachers may mistakenly choose to introduce the passive as a transformed version of the active, implying they are interchangeable or that all passive sentences include the agent, which is definitely not the case. A good alternative to teaching through form could be to:
(A) have students copy a few sentences from the board and sort out their similarities and differences so as to measure students’ awareness and only then start a possible sentence transformation exercise.
(B) bring realia to class so students can get involved with the class, which in this case could mean buying students gifts and then making them create sentences starting with “a gift” e.g. A gift was given to João.
(C) do a three dimensional analysis of the language item and think about where the long term learning challenge lies, which in many cases may be in when / why one should choose this or that language structure.
(D) take a grammar book to class and have students memorize the rules until they know them by heart and then have them orally transform sentences back and forth, according to the language item.
(E) do a three dimensional analysis of the language item and think about ways to contrast it with other similar ones so students can focus on how they may put the parts of the sentences together.

Still in practical terms, focusing on lexical terms may be a challenge for the teacher and the student. Penny Ur (2012, p. 69) alerts teachers to the importance of revising vocabulary instead of testing students on it so as to “consolidate and deepen students’ basic knowledge”. It’s important to focus the revision on single-items as well as items in context, using a wide range of exercises, which means, for example:
I. conducting dictations.
II. having students brainstorm in groups.
III. doing a quick bingo.
IV. composing stories together.
V. finding collocations on websites or dictionaries.
The alternative that best matches the exercises suggested above with their target language is:
(A) single-items; all of them.
(B) items in context; all of them.
(C) single-items: I, III, V; items in context: II and IV.
(D) single-items: IV and V; items in context: I, II and III.
(E) single-items: I, II, III; items in context: IV and V.

👉 Questão 40 :
According to Motta-Roth (2008), the Critical Genre Pedagogy sees the process of teaching/ learning as situated. That means it’s necessary to contextualize content and syllabus based on educational, cultural, social, and political imperatives, connecting individual experience to social experiences as well as social historic conditions of production, distribution and consumption of texts in society. A good example of genre pedagogy in use can be seen when the teacher proposes:
(A) pre-reading activities that provide the vocabulary students need to understand the text without worrying so much about context, as they will be learning a lot of new words.
(B) pre and post-reading activities that help students read critically, producing meaning and reflecting upon human, historic, political and social conditions which (de)(re)contextualize texts.
(C) a lot of graded written homework so students may copy as many text types as possible for the teacher to mark later.
(D) activities that do not refer to students’ own human, social and economic condition or deals with language as having a mediating role in social life.
(E) critical reading and writing activities, by giving students a certain text type and asking questions about the grammar in it.

41 Thinking of teacher development, it’s good practice for any L2 teacher to:
(A) show up to work on time and not to get too involved with students because that would be unprofessional pedagogic practice.
(B) prepare classes as well as correct exercises based on answer keys and teach students top-down, knowing teachers have nothing to learn in class from students.
(C) engage in a critical reflexive process in order to understand their pedagogic practice better, being able to describe, inform, act, confront and reconstruct it.
(D) not to allow anything to prevent them from teaching the grammar / vocabulary point they have to, no matter what happens in class.
(E) see their pedagogic practices as detached from social and cultural aspects and nurture the thought that the relations in class are always impartial and equal.

👉 Questão 42 :
In her book “Teaching Community” (2003), bell hooks claims that educators must work “so that the classroom is not a site where domination (on the basis of race, class, gender, nationality, sexual preference, religion) is perpetuated” and that it should be “a place that is life-sustaining and mind-expanding, a place of liberating mutuality where teacher and students together work in partnership”. This is in agreement with the Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCN) because it promotes the classroom as:
(A) a place that is completely isolated from the community and therefore should not allow for social life issues to be discussed in class.
(B) a site where teachers and students create community and discuss social life issues, except for issues of race, class, gender, nationality, sexual preference and/ or religion.
(C) a place where the majority should authoritatively rule over the minority because dialogue should not be used as a way of mediating conflicts and taking collective decisions.
(D) a site that promotes attitudes of solidarity, cooperation and aversion to injustice, including in regard to issues of race, class, gender, nationality, sexual preference and/ or religion.
(E) a site of hope because teachers and students may learn from each other by eliminating any possibility of having students position themselves critically, responsibly and/ or constructively.
