Explicação
Vamos avaliar cada afirmativa à luz dos textos e das principais teorias/métodos de ensino de línguas.
I. “Literature can be considered as an aesthetic/logical and linguistic device.” O Texto II afirma que a obra literária tem, ao mesmo tempo, conteúdo “racionável” (dimensão lógica/racional) e forma artística dirigida à sensibilidade (dimensão estética). Além disso, literatura se realiza pela linguagem, logo pode ser entendida também como um dispositivo linguístico. Portanto, I é verdadeira.
II. “The use of technology is understood by theorists of language as a way of improving natural human cognitive tendency.” Em linhas gerais, abordagens contemporâneas (ex.: CALL/TELL, uso de mídias digitais) defendem a tecnologia como apoio para potencializar capacidades cognitivas naturais (memória, atenção, processamento, interação, acesso a input/autenticidade), favorecendo aprendizagem. A afirmativa está compatível com essa contribuição teórica ampla. Portanto, II é verdadeira.
III. “The direct method aims at learning through the use of the own language, all the time.” O Método Direto (Direct Method) defende o uso exclusivo da língua-alvo em sala, evitando tradução e recorrência sistemática à língua materna. Logo a ideia de aprender “usando a própria língua (a língua a ser aprendida) o tempo todo” corresponde ao método. Portanto, III é verdadeira.
IV. “In the Grammar-Translation method of language learning students must practice their speaking skills through samplers of real situations.” No Grammar-Translation, o foco é leitura, escrita, tradução e estudo explícito de gramática, com pouca ou nenhuma ênfase em fala e sem prioridade para situações comunicativas reais (isso é mais típico de abordagens comunicativas). Portanto, IV é falsa.
Conclusão: estão corretas I, II e III.
Alternativa correta: (D).
