One pathway for converting explicit to implicit knowledge is suggested by skill acquisition theory, a branch of cognitive science studying how people develop skills. In this theory, knowledge is first seen to be declarative (conscious); then, through practice and the application of learning strategies, declarative knowledge becomes proceduralized so that it becomes automatic. Automatic processes are quick and do not require attention or conscious awareness. Many second/ foreign language learners memorize and practice vocabulary items or “chunks” of language such as greetings, idioms or collocations. Frequent practice in using these forms helps the language items to become automatic in the sense that the learner can use them quickly and unconsciously.

 

Pienemann (1989) proposes that second/ foreign language learners will not acquire a new structure until they are developmentallly ready to do so. If there were no connection between the development of explicit knowledge about a grammar point and the eventual restructuring of the unconscious linguistic system to accommodate the point in the learner’s interlanguage, then, indeed, grammar instruction would not be of much use. However, it has been suggested that there is a connection, so grammar instruction is ultimately useful. Further, practice of language points can lead to automatization, thus bypassing natural order teachability considerations.

Comentário do professor

A alternativa C está correta porque traz a collocation consagrada take the lead, traduzida como assumir a liderança. Essa expressão é usada por falantes nativos para indicar que alguém passou a comandar ou a guiar uma ação ou decisão.

Do ponto de vista sintático, trata-se de um verbo seguido de um objeto nominal ("take" + "the lead"), frequentemente conjugado no passado como em "took the lead", que indica ação já ocorrida. No contexto apresentado, "southern hemisphere countries took the lead and voted for emission reduction" comunica que esses países lideraram a iniciativa e votaram.

É importante diferenciar o sentido literal de take do seu uso idiomático em collocations. Aprender essas combinações aumenta a naturalidade e a precisão na produção em inglês.
