SANTOS - MÁRCIA E. MACHADO - MARIA ALICE DE FREITAS MARTINS Hip Hop music From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Hip hop music, also known as rap music, is a style of music which came into existence in the United States during the mid-1970s, and became a large part of modern pop culture during the 1980s. It consists of two main components: rapping (MCing) and DJing (production and scratching ). Along with hip hop dance (notably break dancing) and urban inspired art, or notably graffiti, these compose the four elements of hip hop, a cultural movement that was initiated by inner-city youth, mostly African Americans  in New York City, in the early 1970s. Typically, hip hop music consists of rhythmic lyrics making use of techniques like assonance, alliteration, and rhyme. The rapper is accompanied by an instrumental track, usually referred to as a "beat," performed by a DJ, created by a producer, or one or more instrumentalists. Historically, this beat has often been created using a sample of the percussion break of another song: usually funk and soul recordings have been utilized. However, in recent years, it has become more common for the beat to be built up from individual drum samples. In addition to the beat, other sounds are often sampled, synthesized, or performed. Sometimes a track can be instrumental, as a showcase of the skills of the DJ or producer. Hip hop began in The Bronx, a borough in New York City , when DJs began isolating the percussion break from funk and disco songs. The early role of the MC was to introduce the DJ and the music and to keep the audience excited. MCs began by speaking between songs, giving exhortations to dance, greetings to audience members, jokes and anecdotes. Eventually this practice became more stylized and became known as rapping. By 1979, hip hop had become a commercially popular music genre and began to enter the American mainstream. In the 1990s, a form of hip hop called gangsta rap became a major part of American music, causing significant controversy over lyrics which were perceived as promoting violence, terrorism,  promiscuity, drug use and misogyny. Nevertheless, by the beginning of the 2000s, hip hop was a staple of popular music charts and was being performed in many styles across the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_hop_music Section A.

The tasks have a combination of form-focused processing than on bottom-up. • Goal: Check the students’ ability to infer words from the context, the use of the Simple Present, reading for specific information, the ability in impromptu reading and responding to questions and listening for specific information. • Assessment: Summative – It measures what students have achieved within the teaching unit. and meaning- focused objectives with more emphasis on meaning. So the tasks imply a little more on top-down Formal – It is an achievement test to determine whether course objectives have been met and appropriate knowledge and skills acquired by the end of period of instruction. • Principles Practicality: The test is practical because it is not excessively expensive, stays within appropriate time constraints, it is easy to administer and has a scoring/evaluation procedure that is specific and time-efficient. Reliability: The test has high reliability because it is dependable. There is a lot of multiple choice activities related to a specific topic. Although the Speaking part has low reliability, because students have to produce spontaneously, the language focus (vocabulary and grammar) they are supposed to use is going to be similar to what they've already read and produced before. Validity: the test has much content validity because it all matches what the unit talked about: simple present and Hip Hop vocabulary. The test is divided into the four abilities, which means that the Reading part is really assessing reading and comprehension; writing part is assessing how the students can write about what they've understood on reading part; listening part is assessing how much the students understand what they listen to; and finally speaking part is assessing how much students can produce orally about a studied theme. Authenticity: The language in the text is natural. The items are contextualized and the topic is interesting for the learner. Washback: Besides being a summative test the teacher can use it to give interactive feedback, what allows the learners realize their weakest points. This can provide washback in the form of information to the learner on progress toward goals.
