Read the following anecdote to answer question.
In Salzburg as a group of about 15 family and friends. We asked a nice German woman to take our photo. She takes one then says “OK, back up”. So, we all shuffle as a group like 3 feet backwards. She immediately starts laughing and explains she meant she was taking a backup photo. Safe to say the smiles in the second photo were genuine.

While reading the anecdote as part of an activity, a student asks the teacher the meaning of the word shuffle, in “So, we all shuffle as a group like 3 feet backwards”. The teacher suggests their going back to the text and making use of clues to try and arrive at the meaning of the unfamiliar word. Doing so, according to Bentley (2010), the teacher is helping students develop a learning skill named
- selecting and using reference materials.
- scanning and skimming text.
- guessing from context.
- note-taking.
- reviewing.

Comentário do professor
O professor está desenvolvendo a habilidade chamada guessing from context (adivinhar pelo contexto), conforme Bentley (2010).
Essa estratégia consiste em inferir o significado de uma palavra desconhecida a partir das pistas de contexto presentes no próprio texto: palavras próximas, frases que indicam ação, medidas e a sequência lógica dos acontecimentos.
No exemplo, as expressões "back up" e "3 feet backwards", além da ordem "she takes one then says 'OK, back up'. So, we all shuffle", mostram direção e movimento. Essas pistas permitem entender que shuffle significa recuar com passos curtos/arrastando os pés.
Trabalhar essa habilidade promove autonomia lexical e leitura mais ativa, pois o aluno aprende a resolver dúvidas usando o próprio texto antes de recorrer a um dicionário.
