Text 2a. Second Language Learning
One of the principles of all learning is that we make sense of new information and ideas by relating them to
our previous knowledge. There are two main kinds of previous language knowledge which second language learners
can use in order to make sense of the new language they encounter: the first is their knowledge of their mother
tongue and the second is the knowledge they already possess about the second language itself.

Text 2b. National Curriculum Parameters
Every text is organized within a specific genre according to its communicative purposes, as part of the
conditions of discourse production, which generate social uses that determine any and every text. Genres are,
therefore, historically determined, and constitute relatively stable forms of utterances available in a culture.
(National Curriculum Parameters, Brasil, 1988, p.21) (adaptado)

Answer the two questions below considering also texts "Second Language Learning" and "National Curriculum
Parameters", above.
A
The unexperienced learner will not use foreign language previous knowledge to deal with genres because
they are difficult for beginners to understand and should be focused only in intermediate classes.
B
Genres used in the foreign language classroom may have their communicative purposes attenuated in order
to function as a learning device.
C
Once the learner understands how each genre is organized he/she will be able to read any text related to
them because they do not change.
D
The use of mother tongue knowledge to help the foreign language learning process has always been
considered an advantageous possibility.
E
Some authors advocate that genres consist of the materialization of text types.
