The reading passage as dependent exemplification


The presentation of language through reading passages, with appended comprehension questions, is a well-established and very familiar pedagogic practice. But what is the purpose of such passages? When they appear in structurally based courses they seem to be used as a vehicle for usage, to consolidate a knowledge of structure and vocabulary that has already been introduced and to extend this knowledge by incorporating into the passages examples of whatever elements of usage come next in the course. In this case, the passage is intended as a manifestation of selected parts of the language system and in consequence they frequently exhibit an abnormally high occurence of particular structures. It has something of the character of a display case and its value as discourse is decreased accordingly.


(Widdowson, H. G. Teaching Language as Communication. Oxford University Press.)


All sentences are true about the reading passage described, EXCEPT:

  1. Realization of the language system as use is not achieved.
  2. We might say it is a text, but it is deficient as a discourse.
  3. Only the dialogue form passages will be authentic vehicles.
  4. It exibits cohesion parted with the communicative purpose.

Comentário do professor

A assertiva diz que somente passagens em forma de diálogo seriam veículos autênticos. Tal afirmação é incompatível com o excerto: o autor não restringe a autenticidade a um único formato.

"In this case, the passage is intended as a manifestation of selected parts of the language system" e a metáfora de "display case" indicam que esses textos são construídos para exemplificar estruturas, não exemplos naturais de uso. Isso mostra uma crítica à artificialidade do material, não uma preferência por diálogos.

Portanto, a alternativa está correta como exceção porque o texto não afirma que apenas diálogos podem ser veículos autênticos; afirma, sim, que muitos trechos são deliberadamente seletivos e pouco autênticos, independentemente da forma.
