- Mid nineties to
2000´s:
Methodologies
- 2000´s: Adaptation and systematize

Fool-Proof?
- CRITERIA
- Universal
- Local
- So, is it subjective?

- Focused on Practitioners
- Excess of information
- Micro & Macro Evaluations
- Subjective & Theoretically Uninteresting
- So must be focused on

- Discrete forms,

- Experience the text, the analyze it
- Now, Task-based approach
- 7.4 Authenticity of text and tasks

- Editorial do not publish researchs.
- Materials should be oriented
