Literature is authentic material. It is good to expose learners to this source of unmodified language in the classroom because they skills they acquire in dealing with difficult or unknown language that can’t be used outside the class.

Literature educates the whole person. By examining values in literary texts, teachers encourage learners to develop attitudes towards them. These values and attitudes relate to the world outside the classroom.

Read the excerpt below, taken from the poem "(A Poem Is a) Naming Ceremony", by the poet Rena Priest, a citizen of the Lhaq’temish Nation, the original inhabitants of Washington's northernmost coast and southern British Columbia.


[…]

I want to […]—learn the language to see

the cotton wood as kwealich ice, the dancing tree;

the killer whales as quell’ lhol mechen, our relatives

under the sea; the whole glorious landscape

filled with meaning to end my grieving.

When I was young, I was invited to learn

Xwilngexw’qen, the people’s language,

but I said no. I didn’t understand. I thought

I wanted to learn how to be rich. I didn’t know

that the only way to posses all the weather

of the world is by naming it—here is bird song,

here is the kiss of a lover, here is the feel

of cold water at the peak of summer.

I have spent my life with words, trying to name

a hint of what I lost by not learning my language.

[…]

Considering the ideas presented in the poem and your knowledge of language relativity and the relationship between language and culture, tick the correct alternative.


A

Culture should not be present in language studies or be considered in language education since discursive practices have little or nothing to do with social practices or cultural realities.


B

The communicative context of language is not influenced by cultural differences. Although we know that speakers of different discourses have different worldviews, this cultural detail does not play a part in conceiving meaning.


C

Although culture plays an important role in language, it's completely possible to fully learn and understand a language, especially in its communicative and interactional function, just focusing on the decontextualized study of grammar.


D

There is no interdependence between language and culture. The grammatical and semantic categories and aspects are in no way influenced by cultural elements. In the same way, the worldview of a community it is not affected by language.


E

Language is the way whereby we live our lives. It organizes, through grammar and syntax, how a community sees the world that surrounds it. Language embodies cultural realities, and it is a powerful way to conceive and express social identity.

Acerca da possibilidade de abordar a literatura de língua inglesa numa perspectiva interdisciplinar no contexto da Educação Básica, assinale a alternativa correta.


A

Uma das maiores dificuldades para desenvolver conteúdos em uma perspectiva interdisciplinar está na negociação com outros profissionais e nas considerações logísticas, já que os parâmetros curriculares nacionais são bem claros em afirmar que a interdisciplinaridade exige a reunião de mais de uma disciplina.


B

A literatura tem uma potencialidade interdisciplinar e, por isso, é capaz de superar a fragmentação artificial que é promovida entre as disciplinas no ambiente escolar. Nesse aspecto, a literatura aparece como uma ferramenta capaz de restabelecer a ponte entre diferentes realidades e conhecimentos.


C

O ensino da literatura de língua inglesa em perspectiva interdisciplinar deve se pautar exclusivamente em textos canônicos, e deve estar focado na sistematização das informações de diferentes áreas do conhecimento contidas no texto.


D

No contexto da educação básica, a leitura e a formação do leitor não devem ser aspectos a serem considerados no ensino da língua inglesa. A preocupação do professor deve estar voltada para análises semânticas e sintáticas. O texto literário pode aparecer como suporte para isso.


E

Pela literatura, é possível ter acesso a diferentes conteúdos, explorados por diferentes áreas do conhecimento. Por isso, uma abordagem interdisciplinar da literatura exige a sistematização dessas diferentes informações, de forma que elas possam ser trabalhadas de forma exemplificativa e individual pela área do conhecimento a que tal conhecimento pertence.

In Goya’s Greatest Scenes We Seem to See . . .


BY LAWRENCE FERLINGHETTI


In Goya’s greatest scenes we seem to see

the people of the world

exactly at the moment when

they first attained the title of

‘suffering humanity’

They writhe upon the page

in a veritable rage

______ of adversity

Heaped up

groaning with babies and bayonets

under cement skies

in an abstract landscape of blasted trees

bent statues bats wings and beaks

slippery gibbets

cadavers and carnivorous cocks

and all the final hollering monsters

of the

‘imagination of disaster’

they are so bloody real

it is as if they really still existed


FERLINGHETTI, Lawrence. In Goya’s Greatest Scenes we seem To See. In: HOOVER, Paul (Ed.). Postmodern American Poetry. A Norton Anthology. New York/London: W. W.Norton & Company, 1994. p. 43-44


The excerpt above is part of a poem by American painter and poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti. In this poem, Ferlinghetti establishes intercourse with plastic arts, namely, paintings in which Goya depicts war. This entanglement pops up not only in the poem’s theme but also in its form, which translates to the violence and chaos experienced in war.


Mark the alternative that better defines that kind of relationship between literature and other arts.


A

Ferlinghetti's poem is a clear example of the contemporary tendency to overflow into other arts. Different media and resources dialogue with contemporary literature and produce experiments in form, language and media, all while composing different layers of meaning. The allusion to Goya's painting, for example, incorporates a strong political reference, and builds meaning upon the reader's cultural background.


B

What Ferlinghetti did in his poetry, is what we call adaptation. This means that Goya's painting was transferred to a different media (the written language) and to a different culture and context, since Ferlinghetti’s preoccupations were with industrialization and capitalism, while Goya was preoccupied with war.


C

Considering that plastic art is the exclusive terrain where visual compositions take place, the allusion to paintings in poetry is a way to exemplify themes. The purpose of visual arts in literature is not to establish dialogue and is limited to an anecdotal function.


D

Ferlinghetti is inspired by Goya’s biography to convey his admiration of the painter's technique and use of color. This can be seen through the poem's form, which tries to mimic the abstractness of Goya’s painting.


E

Ferlinghetti produces an early form of digital poetry, in which the reader influences the experience of the poem and its meaning by directly interacting with it.

However being the lyrics of a song, the text displays several of a prayer’s features, and its main elements seek to produce aesthetic sensations, since the way the message is communicated, how the code is used, not just the message itself, is a vital aim. Having considered the information previously given, point out the prevailing operative function explored in the text.


A

Poetic.


B

Emotive.


C

Conative.


D

Metalingual.

Com relação ao ensino da leitura, é importante priorizar


A

O treinamento por meio de traduções de diferentes tipos de textos.


B

A leitura em voz alta de cada texto estudado.


C

A ativação do conhecimento prévio do leitor.


D

O foco no texto escrito, evitando outros elementos tais como ilustrações, gráficos ou tabelas.
