Different times, different methods

 

Current teaching practice is the direct result of the acquisition-versus-learning debate. Also, both abstract theory and practical techniques have been discussed, have gone in and out of fashion, and have influenced what was and is included in classrooms and teaching materials.

 

In the 1990s, for example, there was considerable discussion about the Lexical Approach. In the 1970s, methods such as the Silent Way were advocated, and although they may not be used much any more – certainly not as they were originally envisaged – still some of the techniques they included have been incorporated into modern teaching practice.

 

Amongst the plethora of ideas and techniques which have been offered over the years, some trends have had, and continue to have a significant impact on how languages are taught today.

(HARMER, J. 1998. Adaptado.)

  1. reiteration.

Gabarito

B

Comentário do professor

A expressão "certainly not as they were originally envisaged" funciona como uma observação do autor porque qualifica a informação já dada sobre os métodos. Ela aparece inserida dentro da oração concessiva e atua como um elemento parentético, isto é, suplementar ao comentário principal.

Essa inserção não é essencial para a estrutura da frase: se for retirada, o enunciado continua gramatical e com sentido, embora menos qualificado. O elemento transmite a atitude do falante ao explicar de que maneira os métodos mudaram, usando o advérbio certainly para reforçar a avaliação.

Portanto, por expressar uma avaliação ou comentário complementar sobre o estado dos métodos, a unidade cumpre a função típica de uma observação.
