This activity represents a structural consequent pace; MacKeracher (2004) states that, since adults have extensive pragmatic experiences that tend to structure and limit new learning; learning focuses largely on transforming or extending the meanings, values, skills and strategies acquired in previous experience” (p.27). Suitably for adults, the proper use of this material type becomes a pivotal class support for teachers; in which “there is a helpful scaffold for learning to think pedagogically about particular content, considering the relationship between what the teachers and students are doing and what students are supposed to be learning in specific topics as such” (Crawford, 2002, p.82).

This time around, adults over teens. By the way, as it is evident here, we can observe from this material a formal and more lineal explanation of a specific topic; starting from the fact that adults are more disciplined, the rely and feel more comfortable on subsequent and logical approaches when addressing tasks, aiming generally in supportive reasons that go along with their previous knowledge and experience; “adults by the way, accumulate and increasing reservoir of experience that becomes an increasingly rich resource for learning” (MacKeracher, 2004, p.1).

In one of the activities, the second one precisely, there is an in-pairs activity for which most adolescents are really interested to work with, different from when it comes to adults who would rather do things by their own in which autonomy senses are stronger and more embraced; there is room for meaningful learning when tapping into this type activities that certainly involve subsequent scaffolding, previous knowledge and knowledge-building from watching others performing certain task, as it is the case in the pointed previous example with the dialogue; “the integration of new knowledge into the learner’s existing language system occurs with certainty only when the language is used spontaneously in a communicative (purposeful) situation to express the learner’s own meaning” (Crawford, 2002, p.88).

·       How do you spell it?

·       What does your mother / father do?

·       Where does your brother / sister work?

·       What time do you usually get up?
