  • AND the IMPLICIT LEARNING of ENGLISH Florianópolis 2018
    i Raimundo Nonato de Sousa Filho TASK-GAME: ‘MAGIC THE GATHERING’ AND THE IMPLICIT LEARNING OF ENGLISH Dissertação submetida ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Inglês: Estudos Linguísticos e Literários da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina para a obtenção do Grau de Mestre em Letras. Orientadora: Profa. Dra. Raquel Souza Ferraz D’Ely Florianópolis 2018 ii Ficha de identificação da obra elaborada pelo autor através do Programa de Geração Automática da Biblioteca Universitária da UFSC. iii iv v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS On a weekend night, about 16 years ago, I walked around UFSC with some friends. I looked at the buildings, and I could see some shadows of students and sometimes their heads through the windows. I thought to myself: “This is a place I will never be able to reach”. Back then, I had to work 44 hours a week to help my family. Before that, I had studied my entire life in a public school where sometimes I was sent home after lunch or the snack break because teachers used to be absent. Things have changed, however, and I had the opportunity to leave my job and go back to studying. In March of 2008, I was having my first class at UFSC. I was living a dream. Four years later, I proved to myself that I could go all the way through by graduating college. I was thrilled! After graduating college, I thought that it was the furthest I could go. I was wrong again. I just needed some time to take it all in. Four years later, I was a master’s student.

After restocking on supplies I spent some time with Inessa, who told me that her group was successful in stopping a small raiding part of drow. Flamerule 17-18: Stayed in Silverymoon. Flamerule 19: Left Silverymoon. Flamerule 20-22: Traveled. Flamerule 23: Came home to Thandell. After examining the newly built church of Sune Aseir gave Roana 100 gold. Flamerule 24: Thorik and Tika returned to Thandell and I gave them their very much delayed birthday presents. Later that day I learned that Velia had sent Roana.

Flamerule 28: Celebrated by 19th birthday at the local bar by throwing a massive party. Aseir and Tika gave me gifts of locks for the stables that I intend to build.

Eleasis 1: Tace told Aseir that Roana is missing. Later that day Tace found a note under Roana’s bed that was written in Alzhedo, the tongue of Calimport.
