Based on theoretical, experimental, and experiential knowledge, teachers and teacher educators have expressed their dissatisfaction with method in different ways. Studies clearly demonstrate that, even as the methodological band played on, practicing teachers have been marching to a different drum.

 

In this sense, the post method condition is established as a timely response. It signifies interrelated attributes. First and foremost, it signifies a search for an alternative to method rather than an alternative method. While alternative methods are primarily products of top-down processes, alternatives to method are mainly products of bottom-up processes. In practical terms, this means that we need to refigure the relationship between the theorizer and the practitioner of language teaching. If the concept of method authorizes theorizers to centralize pedagogic decision-making, the postmethod condition enables practitioners to generate location-specific, classroom-oriented innovative strategies.

 

Secondly, the postmethod condition signifies teacher autonomy. The conventional concept of method “overlooks the fund of experience and tacit knowledge about teaching which the teachers already have by virtue of their lives as students” (Freeman, 1991). The postmethod condition, however, recognizes the teachers’ potential to know not only how to teach but also how to act autonomously within the academic and administrative constraints imposed by institutions, curricula, and textbooks. It also promotes the ability of teachers to know how to develop a critical approach in order to self-observe, self-analyze, and self-evaluate their own teaching practice with a view to effecting desired changes.

Suponha que o texto de Kamaravadivelu seja usado em um curso de formação em serviço para professores de inglês. Com o texto em mãos, um dos professores-alunos imediatamente pergunta sobre o significado de overlook no trecho do terceiro parágrafo “The conventional concept of method overlooks the fund of experience”, e o professor-formador o incentiva a usar o contexto do texto para compreender a palavra. Ao oferecer tal orientação, o professor-formador estará incentivando a prática da seguinte estratégia de leitura:

A pronoun it that does not have a referent and only performs a grammatical function is a “nonreferential it”. In the following sentences, a “nonreferencial it” is found in:

The following are characteristics of an approach used for second language teaching.

 

• No use of the mother tongue is permitted (i.e., the teacher does not need to know the students’ native language).

• Lessons begin with dialogues and anecdotes in modern conversational style.

• Actions and pictures are used to make meanings clear.

• Grammar is learned inductively.

• The target culture is also taught inductively.

• The teacher must be a native speaker or have nativelike proficiency in the target language.

 

The characteristics listed are consistent with the approach named

The problem with artificial intelligence? lt's neither artificial, nor intelligent.

 

Elon Musk and Apple's co-founder Steve Wozniak have recently signed a letter calling for a six-month moratorium on the development of AI systems. The goal is to give society time to adapt to what the signatories describe as an "AI summer'', which they believe will ultimately benefit humanity, as long as the right guardrails are put in place. These guardrails include rigorously audited safety protocols.

 

lt is a laudable goal, but there is an even better way to spend these six months: retiring the hackneyed label of "artificial intelligence" from public debate.

 

[ ... ]

 

However, many critics have pointed out that intelligence is not just about patternmatching. Equally important is the ability to draw generalisations. Marcel Duchamp's 1917 work of art Fountain is a prime example of this. Before Duchamp's piece, a urinai was just a urinai. But, with a change of perspective, Duchamp turned it into a work of art. At that moment, he was generalising about art.

 

[ ... ]

 

Human intelligence is not one-dimensional. lt rests on what the 20th-century Chilean psychoanalyst lgnacio Matte Bianca called bi-logic: a fusion of the static and timeless logic of formal reasoning and the contextual and highly dynamic logic of emotion. The former searches for differences; the latter is quick to erase them. Marcel Duchamp's mind knew that the urinai belonged in a bathroom; his heart didn't. Bi-logic explains how we regroup mundane things in novel and insightful ways. We all do this - not just Duchamp.

 

AI will never get there because machines cannot have a sense (rather than mere knowledge) of the past, the present and the future; of history, injury or nostalgia. Without that, there's no emotion, depriving bi-logic of one of its components. Thus, machines remain trapped in the singular formal logic.

 

[ ... ]

 

But the reason why tools like ChatGPT can do anything even remotely creative is because their training sets were produced by actually existing humans, with their complex emotions, anxieties and all. lf we want such creativity to persist, we should also be funding the production of art, fiction and history - not just data centres and machine learning.

 

That's not at all where things point now. The ultimate risk of not retiring terms such as "artificial intelligence" is that they will render the creative work of intelligence invisible, while making the world more predictable and dumb.

 

So, instead of spending six months auditing the algorithms while we wait for the "AI summer," we might as well go and reread Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. That will doso much more to increase the intelligence in our world.

Observe the following sentence from paragraph 1 . "The goal is to give society time to adapt to what the signatories describe as an "AI summer'', which they believe will ultimately benefit humanity, as long as the right guardrails are put in place." Choose the alternative that can be considered the CORRECT past version of the sentence above.
