Read the text and answer question.
Education in a language which is not the first language of the learner is as old as education itself. As individuals from different language groups have lived together, some have been educated in an additional language. This is as true of Ancient Rome as it is of the increasingly multilingual societies being created through mobility and globalization in the 21th century.
Two thousand years ago, provision of an educational curriculum in an additional language happened as the Roman Empire expanded and absorbed Greek territory, language and culture. Families in Rome educated their children in Greek to ensure that they would have access to not only the language, but also the social and professional opportunities it would provide for them in their future lives, including living in Greek-speaking educational communities. This historical experience has been replicated across the world through the centuries, and is now particularly true of the global uptake of English language learning.
Researchers and educators have sought new practices in education that will suit the demands of the present day. Globalization and the forces of economic and social convergence have had a significant impact on who learns which language, at what stage in their development, and in which way. The driving forces for language learning differ according to country and region, but they share the objective of wanting to achieve the best possible results in the shortest time. This need has often dovetailed with the need to adapt content-teaching methodologies so as to raise overall levels of proficiency.
(COYLE, Do; HOOD, Philip; MARSH, David. 2010. Adaptado)
In the history of language teaching and learning, approaches have been devised to answer new needs in language education. An instruction which is consistent with one such approach – task-based learning – is
- choose an article about a trending subject, read it and find out its most important aspects.
- in pairs, create a dialogue in which you talk about a recent and relevant event in your life at school.
- in groups, write a letter to the headmaster asking for a reduction in schoolwork before weekends.
- write an objective report about the impact of price increase in vegetables for lower income communities in your area.
- select a historical fact of the 20th century, read about it and make a list of the people involved and the dates mentioned.

A alternativa in groups, write a letter to the headmaster asking for a reduction in schoolwork before weekends exemplifica a abordagem task-based learning. Trata-se de uma tarefa autêntica com propósito comunicativo real: persuadir o diretor, ou seja, usar a língua como meio para atingir um resultado concreto.
Ao escrever a carta em grupo os alunos precisam negociar ideias, organizar o texto, escolher o registro adequado ao público e aplicar estruturas linguísticas funcionais. O foco está no cumprimento da tarefa, não apenas na prática isolada de gramática.
Essa atividade favorece a produção significativa, a fluência e a competência pragmática, além de permitir avaliação pelo sucesso comunicativo da peça produzida.
