Leia o texto a seguir para responder a questão:
The term “language practice” refers to activities which involve repetition of the same language point or skill in an environment which is controlled by the framework of the activity. The purpose for language production and the language to be produced are usually predetermined by the task or the teacher. The intention is not to use the language for communication but to strengthen the ability to manipulate a particular language form or function.
Activities centered on “language use”, on the other hand, involve the production of language in order to communicate. The purpose of the activity might be predetermined but the language which is used is determined by the learners.
(TOMLINSON, B. (ed). Material Development in Language Teaching. Cambridge: CUP. 1998/2011. Adaptado)
An example of an activity which aims at “language practice”, as described in the first paragraph, is:
- telling a new group of learners to walk around the classroom and introduce themselves to classmates they are meeting for the first time.
- asking students to, by using the language resources they have already acquired, complete a story the teacher has started.
- getting students to identify verbs in the regular past from a variety of news items, and then train the pronunciation of the final –ed.
- having students work out the rules for the passive voice from examples in context, and share what they have discovered.
- introducing the meaning of “will” as prediction by presenting students with a number of situations and sentences where such use is made clear.

Comentário do professor
A atividade proposta envolve identificar verbos no past regular e treinar a pronúncia do final -ed. Isso caracteriza language practice porque o foco recai sobre um ponto linguístico específico e a forma a ser produzida é predeterminada.
Ao selecionar formas e praticar a terminação, o professor controla o ambiente e promove a repetição e a automatização de um aspecto formal (grafia e som). O objetivo é fortalecer a capacidade de manipular uma forma, não realizar interação comunicativa espontânea.
Por concentrar-se em forma, controle e treino sistemático da terminação -ed, a atividade é claramente uma prática de linguagem orientada ao language practice.
