English has unarguably become the global default lingua
franca. Indeed, English is spoken by more people for whom it is
a second or additional language (L2) than by those for whom it is
a first language (L1). It follows, then, that English is no longer
used exclusively in communication involving L1 users but is
increasingly employed in interactions in which neither participant
uses English as their L1. It is estimated that only 4% of English
language interactions in the world today contain solely L1
speakers.
The prominence of English as an international language
has driven the ever-increasing demand for English language
teaching (ELT) across the globe. However, the changing face of
English presents a challenge for ELT practices to better reflect
the current sociolinguistic reality. Traditional English as a foreign
language (EFL) pedagogies which idealise the attainment of
native-like competence are "neither responsive to nor consistent
with the current profile of English".
While in the past, learners of English may have been
studying the language to communicate with L1 speakers, this is
no longer the case for most learners who will be using English to
interact with other L2 users. It is, therefore, critical that English
language learners be equipped with an awareness of the current
status of English and the skills necessary to communicate with
users from a range of linguacultural backgrounds.
The research design chosen for the study was a classroom
based quasi-experiment. Quasi-experiments attempt to mimic
true experiments in terms of rigour and structure but lack random
assignment and a tight control of variables, making them more
adaptable to real-world classrooms. While the resulting presence
of confounding variables means inferring causality is much more
problematic, this approach can still yield useful insights if
findings are treated as suggestive as opposed to conclusive.

'consistent'
respectively,
demonstrating that parallel

When a person attempts to express their thoughts in
writing, they use a series of cognitive functions like working
memory to access words and ideas they want to convey,
phonological awareness of concepts such as syntax and more.
And that is in their native language. A new study from the
University of Kansas is among the first of its kind to examine
cognitive functions and their role in teaching English learners to
write in their second language.
The study performed a battery of bilingual cognitive tests
with nearly 500 elementary-age English learners and found the
relationships between English writing performance and cognitive
skills became stronger as grades increased. However, the
relationships between English writing and Spanish cognitive and
reading determinants, for example, were mixed, indicating
working memory capacity was especially important in the
population’s performance in learning to write in their second
language.
The findings not only shed light on how students learn to
write, they could help lead to development of interventions to
help English learners improve their writing abilities.
Neuroscience reveals that working memory is a complex
cognitive function involving multiple regions. The prefrontal
cortex is central to working memory, handling the retention and
manipulation of short-term information.

Ministers have awarded an almost £15 million contract to
tackle the systemic decline in the number of pupils in England
taking foreign languages at GCSE (General Certificate of
Secondary Education) and A-level (General Certificate of
Education Advanced Level).
The University College London’s Institute of Education
will establish a National Centre for Languages Education
(NCLE) made up of up to 25 lead schools specialising in
languages to work with up to 105 partner secondary schools. The
centre aims to develop strategies to persuade more boys, as well
as pupils with special educational needs or disabilities and other
disadvantaged pupils, to choose languages, while up to five
schools will be chosen to expand the Home Languages
Accreditation project, which helps bilingual pupils gain GCSEs
or A-levels in their home or heritage language.
Nick Gibb, minister for school standards, said: "Our
economy needs people who can communicate across the globe
and trade with overseas businesses. This programme is about
ensuring we have the next generation of young people with the
languages needed to compete on the world stage."
Crossbench peer Jean Coussins, who co-chairs the
All-Party Parliamentary Group on Modern Languages, said it was
good that the government was taking languages seriously, but in
order to reach its EBACC (English Baccalaureate) targets, it
would "also need to address modern foreign language teacher
recruitment (just 34% of target numbers this year)".

Fluency in a foreign language is often thought to be about
speaking quickly and using advanced vocabulary. However,
researchers reveal that speakers who use common, everyday
expressions sound more fluent than those who rely on rare,
complex words. There is a study that highlights the importance of
mastering familiar phrases to improve fluency perception,
suggesting that learners should naturally incorporate common
formulaic expressions in spontaneous speech.
The findings revealed that utterance fluency (smoothness
of speech delivery) was the strongest predictor of fluency
perception, accounting for 61% of the variance in ratings.
However, high-frequency formulaic expressions added an extra
0.8% to fluency judgments, while rarer, more complex phrases
had little to no effect.
This research suggests that learners should shift their
focus from advanced vocabulary to mastering everyday phrases
that come naturally in conversation. For example, instead of
saying "I concur with the idea" — which sounds unnatural —
learners should use "I agree with the idea." These common
expressions are easy to find in textbooks and everyday
conversations, making them more accessible for learners of all
levels.

Less job mobility, lower productivity: the cost of
cosy capitalism
Australians are changing jobs far less often than they did
50 years ago. Financial insecurity, debt and workplace
barriers may be trapping workers in jobs – and helping
entrench a low-productivity form of "cosy capitalism".
Fifty years ago work was different, wasn't it? Your first job
on leaving school was at the bottom of the hierarchy –
filing, making coffee or cleaning up the building site. If all
went well you would move through the ranks and retire
from the same firm or government department having
achieved a middle or senior rank. That was before there
was a gig economy, before computers allowed people to set up their own microbusinesses, and before the word
'precariat' had been coined.
What a pity the ABS has challenged this myth with hard
data in their annual series on Job Mobility. In the 1970s
on average 17 per cent of workers changed their
employer or business in any one year: now only 8 per
cent of workers do. We're staying much longer in our
jobs. This series, going back to 1972, is shown below.
The trend is clearly towards less mobility, interrupted by
the occasional economic shock – the 'recession we had
to have' in 1990, and the pandemic in 2020.
One might have expected that increased female
participation in the workforce would have seen more
mobility, but women have followed the same trend as
men: after the mid-1980s the male and female lines are
indistinguishable.
Tracing cause and effect would involve a large research
task, but there are some plausible explanations.
One is that the workforce has become more
professionalised. There are fewer short-term unskilled
vacancies, and fewer workers lacking any post-school
skills. Work has become a more serious commitment by
both employees and employers.
Another is that the cost to the individual in changing jobs
has increased. This requires some explanation, because
it is not immediately obvious.
Over the last half century there has been a significant fall
in personal savings. Fifty years ago we were saving
about 15 to 20 per cent of household income. Now our
savings are between 2 and 5 per cent of income. This is
partly a statistical artefact, because we are now
accumulating savings in compulsory superannuation. But
in terms of liquidity, such as ability to tide oneself over
between jobs, it is a real constraint. The ABS Making
ends meet survey shows that 27 per cent of households
would be unable to raise $2,000 for something important
within a week. We are carrying more personal debt, not
because we are spendthrifts, but because some debt,
particularly student debt, has been forced upon us, and
runaway housing prices have increased the burden of
mortgage debt.
To illustrate this fall in savings, we note that the days of
long strikes are well behind us. Now a one-day strike is
newsworthy. In times past strikes could stretch out for
weeks and no industry was immune: in 1973 Sydney's
Kings Cross strippers went on strike for up to two
months.
Some workers now are restricted in their mobility by
non-compete clauses. Many workers realise that shifting
to another job probably involves going through a
probationary period, with an uncertain outcome. The
associated risk of unemployment has to be weighed
against the lower risk of continued employment in a
comparatively secure but less satisfying job.
We have allowed our economy to evolve into what may
be called a pattern of cosy capitalism, where businesses
have a compliant and stable (if not necessarily content) workforce. It works for business not only in terms of
power in the labour market, but also in the broader
economy. Consumption is sustained by innovations such
as buy-now-pay-later schemes, heightening dependence
on regular pay. People with no cash in reserve depend
on car loans and are unlikely to risk taking
low-cost-high-deductible home and contents insurance.
It's all very convenient for the finance sector.
Cosy capitalism is low-productivity capitalism, because it
throttles the dynamics of capitalism. Workers become
trapped in low-productivity jobs, and entrepreneurs trying
to establish new businesses find it hard to attract labour.
Existing firms have little incentive to boost labour
productivity if they feel assured that they can hang on to
workers in low-productivity jobs and don't have to
increase their pay.
There are certain things governments can do to boost
productivity that involve removing friction in the system.
The government has committed to banning the unjustified
use of non-compete clauses, for example. State
governments could make it easier for people to move by
abolishing real-estate transfer taxes and replacing them
with land taxes. The Commonwealth could boost
JobSeeker payments and remove some of the
spend-down provisions in its asset test, shifting its design
from a scheme of distributive welfare to one of income
insurance. More could be done to allow for transfer of
long service leave and sick leave between employers.
Such policies would boost productivity, but they wouldn't
be met with many thanks from those who do well for
themselves in our pattern of cosy capitalism. Business
lobbies may speak for the short-term interests of existing
business, but not for the interests of business in its wider
sense. The distinction is important.

Which Sleep Profile Are You? The Answer Shapes Your
Health
A night of solid rest can feel like a panacea. The
quantity and quality of our sleep influence our physical
health, our moods, our cognition and our ability to function
in almost every aspect of life. Sleep can’t be reduced to a
simple binary; researchers are finding it’s more complicated.
In a recent study, scientists analyzed brain scans and
data on how shuteye affects many different measures of
health. The dataset is based on self-reports from 770 healthy
young adults. The researchers used statistical analysis to
show that the complex relation between sleep and health
can be _________ to five different profiles that describe
how certain patterns of sleep are associated with changes in
various aspects of our lives.
The profiles point to ways to improve sleep and
health. Taking sleeping pills may _________ your memory,
for instance, but could benefit your social relationships. And
sleeping for at least six to seven hours a night might boost
your cognitive performance and _________ your aggression.
Sleep is individual, but you can improve it by keeping a
regular bedtime, following a routine, and avoiding alcohol
before bed.

The Brazilian National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) introduced a significant paradigm shift by framing the English
language as a mandatory curriculum component within an English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) perspective. This framework recognizes
English as a global language used dynamically in multilingual settings, meaning that its instruction does not need to adhere strictly to
the linguistic or cultural norms of native speakers from hegemonic countries. Consequently, English is no longer categorized merely as
a traditional "foreign language" in Brazil, but rather as a widespread instrument of international communication.
Furthermore, the BNCC justifies the inclusion of English within the curriculum as an essential element of a critical education
agenda. Instead of focusing on a purely instrumental or mechanical view of grammar, the official guidelines underscore the formative
function of the language, linking it to the social and political dimensions of communication. Learning English under this light is
equated with equipping students with the necessary knowledge to enable wider global interaction, social mobility, and active
citizenship.

Students using A.I. over humans to learn English (23rd December 2024)
More and more students in Japan are using artificial intelligence (AI) to learn English and other languages. The languagelearning app Duolingo conducted a survey on how students study languages. More than 4,700 Japanese students answered questions
about their language-learning habits. The survey found that the number of people using ChatGPTand other AI tools increased by more
than 80 per cent in 2024. AI was particularly popular with younger people. The researchers said more young people used AI than took
face-to-face lessons. However, some people in their 20s were not totally happy with AI lessons. They said AI lacked natural responses
and was a little boring.
Duolingo said: "We're in the midst of an AI revolution.…Technology has long had an impact on language learning." It found
that apps were the most popular method in Japan to learn languages. English was the most studied language, followed by Korean.
People are studying Korean "to understand the language as spoken by…favourite artists and celebrities." Duolingo said around 58 per
cent of people who took the survey used language-learning apps. This was followed by video streaming platforms like YouTube and
Netflix (37%), textbooks (36%) and online lessons (16%). The number of people going to a language school is decreasing. Just 13.8 per
cent of people went to classes with a teacher.

Digital Communication and Human Interaction
Advances in digital technology have transformed the
way people communicate. While social media platforms, messaging applications, and video conferencing tools have made communication faster and more
accessible, many researchers argue that they have also
altered the quality of human interaction.
One significant advantage..............................digital
communication is its ability to connect individuals
regardless of geographical distance. Professionals
collaborate ..............................continents, families maintain relationships despite living apart, and students
participate..............................international learning communities. Nevertheless, critics contend that the convenience
of digital communication may come .............................. the
expense of meaningful face-to-face interaction.
Another concern involves the spread of misinformation.
Since information can be published instantly and shared
widely, readers must develop critical literacy skills to distinguish reliable sources from misleading content. Consequently, communicative competence in the twentyfirst century requires not only linguistic knowledge but
also the ability to evaluate information critically.
Ultimately, effective communication depends on
choosing the most appropriate medium for each situation while considering audience, purpose, and context.
Study these sentences and decide if they are
true ( T ) or false ( F ), according to structure and
grammar use.
( ) The word Nevertheless (second paragraph), expresses contrast.
( ) The underlined words in the first paragraph of text 1, have transformed and have also altered are examples of the Simple Past Tense.
( ) The negative form for the sentence Another concern involves the spread of misinformation. is Another concern doesn’t involves the spread of misinformation.
( ) The words in bold (paragraphs 2 and 3) may, can, and must are examples of modal verbs.
( ) In Consequently, communicative competence in the twenty-first century requires not only linguistic knowledge but also the ability to evaluate information critically, the not only… but also construction is used to connect two similar, grammatically equal parts of a sentence.
Choose the alternative which presents the correct sequence, from top to bottom.
