                                                    TEXTO I

                                   English for Specific Purposes


      English for specific purposes (ESP) refers to language research and instruction that focuses on the specific communicative needs and practices of particular social groups. Emerging out of Halliday, Macintosh, and Strevens’ (1964) groundbreaking work nearly 40 years ago, ESP started life as a branch of English language teaching, promising a stronger descriptive foundation for pedagogic materials. In the years since, ESP has consistently been at the cutting-edge of both theory development and innovative practice in applied linguistics, making a significant contribution to our understanding of the varied ways language is used in particular communities. Drawing on a range of interdisciplinary influences for its research methods, theory, and practices, ESP has consistently provided grounded insights into the structures and meanings of texts, the demands placed by academic or workplace contexts on communicative behaviors, and the pedagogic practices by which these behaviors can be developed.

  • Item A.

    English for specific purposes (ESP) refers to language research and instruction that focuses on the specific communicative needs and practices of particular social groups. Emerging out of Halliday, Macintosh, and Strevens’ (1964) groundbreaking work nearly 40 years ago, ESP started life as a branch of English language teaching, promising a stronger descriptive foundation for pedagogic materials.

  • A questão trata-se de uma linguagem que enfoca as necessidades comunicativas específicas de determinados grupos sociais. O English for Specific Purposes começou a ser um ramo do ensino da língua inglesa, prometendo uma base descritiva mais forte para materiais pedagógicos.

    O trecho abaixo fala que ESP tem contribuído para o desenvolvimento da teoria e prática na linguística aplicada, o que pode confundir o candidato com a alternativa B. Mas vamos observar esse trecho traduzido:

    (L. 4-6) In the years since, ESP has consistently been at the cutting-edge of both theory development and innovative practice in applied linguistics, making a significant contribution to our understanding of the varied ways language is used in particular communities. 
    Tradução: Desde então, o ESP tem consistentemente estado na ponta do desenvolvimento da teoria e da prática inovadora na linguística aplicada, contribuindo significativamente para a compreensão das várias formas em que a linguagem é usada em comunidades específicas.

    Dessa forma, o objetivo principal do Texto I é apresentar as origens e contribuições do ESP, bem como defini-lo.
