Like Coleman, Putnam claims that ‘‘it is within our power to reverse the decline of [social capital over] the last several decades’’ (Putnam, 2000, p. 25), and that ‘‘applied social capitalism’’ (Putnam, 2000, p. 317) which focuses on creating and activating local social capital can be effective in restoring the capacity of people in communities to take collective action. For purposes of this paper, we…

difficulties as a result of their total lack of knowledge about these new approaches. They also point out the need to implement continuous training sessions so that teachers can access to teaching methodologies that are more modern and adequate to the linguistic context of the country so as to fight the professional stagnation and the students’ underachievement. ÍNDICE APRESENTAÇÃO INTRODUÇÃO CAPÍTULO 1 RELEVÂNCIA DO TEMA EM INVESTIGAÇÃO Introdução 1.1.

essentially due to the constant negative results of the students’ linguistic performance in regular education. In order to contribute to the development of Applied Linguistics researches in Native Language Teaching, we propose to examine, in light of the functionalist theory, the way textbooks have been developing their work with the locative “Where” as well as adjectives and adverbs as superlative. Key-words: functionalist linguistic; mother language teaching; didactic book.…

a Second Language. The inquiry concentrated originally on the collaboration that occurred during negotiations that took place during the execution of a pedagogical task (dictogloss) proactively prepared by the teacher/researcher. The initial linguistic focus was the use of the Present Perfect and Simple Past by four pairs of learners of ESL. From recordings of speech by the participants, preparation of a written text after the auditory input, and classification of interaction…

Trecho original: “The potential for natural language processing was recognized quite early in the development of computers, and work in computational linguistics – primarily for machine translation – began in the 1950s at a number of research centers. The rapid growth in the field, however, has taken place mostly since the late 1970s”. 8 Cf. Nijholt & Sikkel (1993), Bick (1996) e Garside,…

It is therefore important that readers understand where and how we situate our approach within the broader field of qualitative research in order to assess the value and appropriateness of the research practices we…
