PROVA DOS ARGUMENTOS DE CALLAN

No seu panfleto intitulado “Informações para Centros e

Candidatos", a Universidade de Cambridge afirma o

seguinte: “O Preliminary English Test (teste de Inglês

preliminar) tem como objectivo testar as competências de

comunicação escritas e faladas em relação à capacidade de

ler e de ouvir, a um nível representando cerca de 350 horas

de estudo a partir do nível de principiante.”

Em seguida afirma que as 350 horas são de estudo

“dedicado” – que geralmente se reparte por um período de 4 ¼ anos. O Método Callan obtém o mesmo resultado em 80

horas, divididas por um período de um ano, isto é, um quarto

do tempo.

Para os outros dois exames de Cambridge, Key English Test

(KET) e First Certificate in English (FCE), o aluno médio

consagra cerca de 175 horas para o KET e 640 horas para o

FCE – dependendo da sua nacionalidade. O Método Callan,

por sua vez, proporciona-lhe o KET em 40 horas e o FCE

em 160 horas, com uma garantia escrita de que, no caso de

reprovar nos exames, a escola do Método Callan em que

estude lhe facultará aulas gratuitas até que obtenha

aprovação.

NOTA SOBRE AS INSTRUÇÕES AO PROFESSOR:

Tal como se referiu no guia que acompanha o Método Callan, este Método foi originalmente escrito para ser utilizado pelo professor no ensino da turma de alunos – pode ser utilizado para o mesmo efeito, se necessário. Com os alunos a ensinarem-se mutuamente sem a necessidade de um professor, as instruções do professor não são necessárias, uma vez que a forma como o Método funciona pode ser compreendida através da dedução lógica. Por exemplo, a página um do Método começa com as palavras A PEN (UMA CANETA), A PENCIL (UM LÁPIS), A BOOK (UM LIVRO) e A (UM), por baixo do qual se encontra a tradução no idioma do próprio estudante. A seguir aparecem as palavras WHAT’S (O QUE), THIS (ISTO) e IT’S (É), também com as traduções por baixo. O aluno-professor aí deduz que tem de pegar numa caneta e perguntar “What’s this?” (“O que é isto?”) enquanto o outro aluno deduz que tem de responder “It’s a pen” (É uma caneta”) e por aí em diante. Isto mostra que não são necessárias instruções. Outro exemplo: Na página 7, temos as palavras ON (EM CIMA), UNDER (EM BAIXO) e IN (NO/NA), com as suas traduções, juntamente com a pergunta “A caneta está dentro do livro?”, para a qual existe a resposta “Não, a caneta não está no livro, está em baixo do livro.” Todas as palavras existentes na pergunta e na resposta, à excepção das palavras “in” e “under”, são palavras que o aluno já aprendeu no passado e das quais se lembra bem – desde que, é claro, as tenha voltado a estudar bem. Portanto, o aluno não terá dificuldade em compreender o que lhe está a ser perguntado e o que se espera que ele responda, não sendo necessário compreender as instruções do professor. Na sua forma original, o professor do Método Callan não utilizava a tradução (excepto para palavras ocasionais), uma vez que normalmente (sendo estrangeiro) não sabia o idioma dos alunos, ou então porque tinha de ensinar turmas com várias nacionalidades. Com o sistema Teach-Each-Other (ensino mútuo) torna-se fácil utilizar a tradução, uma vez que os alunos falam a mesma língua. Após o Nível 1 do Método são raras as instruções do professor.

SEE CHART 7

MANY MORE... THAN THE MOST FEW FEWER... THAN THE FEWEST MUCH • MORE... THAN • THE MOST • LITTLE • LESS... THAN • THE LEAST •

EXCEPTION QUANTITY SINGULAR / exceção quantidade singular

"Many" and "much" have the same meaning, but we use "many" with things we can count./ For example, we can count pens – 1 pen, 2 pens, 3 pens etc. We can count books, chairs etc./

132

Generally, the things we can count take an "s" in the plural./ "People" is an exception. It has no "s", but we use "many" with it./ "Much", on the other hand, we use with things we cannot count./ For example, we cannot count water or sugar./ We cannot say one water, two waters; one sugar, two sugars etc./ These things are a singular quantity, and take no "s". Money is no exception:/ we can count money, but we do not say one money, two monies. We say one pound, two pounds; one franc, two francs etc./

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "MANY" AND "MUCH" ? The difference between + "many" and "much" is that we use

"many" with things we can count and "much" with things we can't count

GIVE ME A SENTENCE WITH "MANY" IN IT, PLEASE There are many cars in a large city

GIVE ME A SENTENCE WITH "MUCH" IN IT:/ I do not put much sugar in my tea

"Few" and "little" also have the same meaning, but we use "few" with things we can count, and "little" with things we cannot count. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "FEW" AND "LITTLE" ? The difference between + "few" and "little" is that we use "few" with things we

can count and "little" with things we can't count

DO YOU EAT LITTLE BREAD ? No, I don't eat little bread, but I eat much bread


134

FEWER ... THAN • LESS ... THAN • WHISKY BANK menos … que menos … que uísque banco The difference between "fewer... than" and "less... than" is that we use "fewer... than" with things we can count, and "less... than" with things we cannot count. For example, "I have fewer thumbs than fingers. I drink less milk than water"./

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "FEWER... THAN"

AND "LESS... THAN" ? The difference between + "fewer... than" and "less... than" is that we use

"fewer... than" with things we can count, and "less... than" with things we can't count

GIVE ME A SENTENCE WITH "FEWER... THAN" IN IT,

GIVE ME A SENTENCE WITH "LESS... THAN" IN IT – I eat less food

less money than the Bank of England

DO YOU EAT MORE MEAT THAN BREAD ? No, I don't – eat more meat than bread,

but I eat less meat than bread

The word "less" these days is often used in place of the word "fewer", probably because it has only one syllable and is easier to say. People often say such things as "less books" or "less people". Also, there is the argument about whether one can say "fewer than me" instead of "fewer than I"; the continuation of the sentence being "fewer than I have". Many educated people these days would in fact say "Mr Brown has less pencils than me" instead of "Mr Brown has fewer pencils than I". The, teacher, however, should not confuse the students with such irregularities.

THE FEWEST THE LEAST SALT THAT (=THE ONE)

menos menos sal aquele

The difference between "the fewest" and "the least" is the same as that between "fewer ... than" and "less ... than". "The fewest" we use with things we can count, whilst "the least" we use with things we cannot count. For example, "Of these three places, London, Cambridge and Greenwich, Greenwich has the fewest buildings", and, "Of these three people, Mr Brown, Mr Smith and Mr Jones, Mr Jones drinks the least coffee"./ WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "THE FEWEST" AND "THE LEAST" ? The difference between + "the fewest" and "the least" is that we use "the

fewest" with things we can count, whilst we use "the least" with things we can't count

136

GIVE ME A SENTENCE WITH "THE FEWEST" IN IT, PLEASE ! In my family, my brother

is the one who reads the fewest books

I don't drink wine the most, but I drink it the least

STUDENTS READ LESSON 20 ON PAGE 113 Students memorize the following words:

AIR BATTLE CHURCH DEEP ENTER ar batalha igreja fundo entrar

+ The above five words are intended to be given to the students as they are, without being used in questions. The teacher gives their meaning as he pronounces them two or three times, then he asks the students for their meaning. He asks five students, one after the other. The best way is for the teacher to direct a word to a single student first, and then, if the student cannot give the translation, throw it open to the rest of the class. When revising the words in the following lessons, the teacher just says the words in English and the students have to give the equivalent words in their own language. The number of revisions will be the same as the number of revisions for the normal words used in the "question–answer" work. If the teacher speaks the students' language very well, he can ask the students to translate the words from English into their own language in the first lesson of revision, and then from the students' own language into English in the following lessons of revision. If the teacher's pronunciation of the students' language is not very good, it is safer to speak the words always

140

in English. The idea of these lists of five words is to teach vocabulary quickly. The words chosen usually have only one meaning, and so can be learnt out of context without confusion. The word "church", for example, has only one basic meaning, and should give no trouble, whereas words such as "much" and "many" need to be learned in sentences. Later on, the words will be used in questions, but in only one question for each word.

DICTATION 9 The difference/ between "any" and "some"/ is that we generally use "any"/ in the interrogative and negative/ whilst we use "some"/ in the positive./ "Any" is non-specific./ "How many" is specific,/ the answer to which is "none"./ The Present Progressive/ we use for an action/ we are doing now./ For example,/ I am speaking English now./ About how many pages/ are there in this book ? PRONUNCIATION CHART It is here that the teacher should check the students' pronunciation by going through the following list of words and sentences with them. It is essential that the students should have mastered the pronunciation by the end of Stage 4, and preferably by the end of Stage Two, otherwise they will find it difficult to correct themselves later, and consequently could carry the mistakes with them for the rest of their lives. The lists and sentences should be put up on a wall of the classroom for the teacher to point at. Failing that, he could just read from the lists below, getting the students to repeat after him. It is better, however, if he can point at the words and get the students to make the mistakes before hearing his correct version. Students should first pronounce the word, the teacher should then give them the correct pronunciation, and they then repeat after him.

EXERCISES When doing the exercises, the student should answer in the long form, as he does in the lesson. For example, the answer to "Is London a village?" is "No, London is not a village, but it is a city." This gives him extra practice in writing and a greater possibility of making a mistake.
