TEXT II
Uses of AI in Education
In May 2023, the U.S. Department of Education released a
report titled Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Teaching and
Learning: Insights and Recommendations. The department had
conducted listening sessions in 2022 with more than 700 people,
including educators and parents, to gauge their views on AI. The
report noted that “constituents believe that action is required now
in order to get ahead of the expected increase of AI in education
technology – and they want to roll up their sleeves and start
working together.” People expressed anxiety about “future
potential risks” with AI but also felt that “AI may enable achieving
educational priorities in better ways, at scale, and with lower
costs.
AI could serve – or is already serving – in several teachingand-learning roles, for instance:
instructional assistants: AI’s ability to conduct human-like
conversations opens up possibilities for adaptive tutoring or
instructional assistants that can help explain difficult concepts to
students. AI-based feedback systems can offer constructive
critiques on student writing, which can help students fine-tune
their writing skills. Some research also suggests certain kinds of
prompts can help children generate more fruitful questions about
learning. AI models might also support customized learning for
students with disabilities and provide translation for English
language learners; and teaching assistants: AI might tackle some
of the administrative tasks that keep teachers from investing more
time with their peers or students. Early uses include automated
routine tasks such as drafting lesson plans, creating differentiated
materials, designing worksheets, developing quizzes, and
exploring ways of explaining complicated academic materials. AI
can also provide educators with recommendations to meet
student needs and help teachers reflect, plan, and improve their
practice.
Along with these potential benefits come some difficult
challenges and risks the education community must navigate. For
example, both teachers and students face the risk of becoming
overly reliant on AI-driven technology. For students, this could
stifle learning, especially the development of critical thinking. This
challenge extends to educators as well. While AI can expedite
lesson-plan generation, speed does not equate to quality.
Teachers may be tempted to accept the initial AI-generated
content rather than devote time to reviewing and refining it for
optimal educational value.
In light of these challenges, the Department of Education has
stressed the importance of keeping “humans in the loop” when
using AI, particularly when the output might be used to inform a
decision. As the department encouraged in its 2023 report,
teachers, learners, and others need to retain their agency. AI
cannot “replace a teacher, a guardian, or an education leader as
the custodian of their students’ learning,” the report stressed.

Read the text and answer question.
Disappointment with both grammar-translation and audiolingual methods for their inability to prepare learners for the interpretation, expression, and negotiation of meaning, along with enthusiasm for an array of alternative methods increasingly labeled communicative, has resulted in no small amount of uncertainty as to what are and are not essential features of CLT. Thus, this summary description would be incomplete without brief mention of what CLT is not.
CLT is not exclusively concerned with face-to-face oral communication. The principles of CLT apply equally to reading and writing activities that involve readers and writers engaged in the interpretation, expression, and negotiation of meaning; the goals of CLT depend on learner needs in a given context. CLT does not require small-group or pair work; group tasks have been found helpful in many contexts as a way of providing increased opportunity and motivation for communication. However, classroom group or pair work should not be considered an essential feature and may well be inappropriate in some contexts. Finally, CLT does not exclude a focus on metalinguistic awareness or knowledge of rules of syntax, discourse, and social appropriateness. The essence of CLT is the engagement of learners in communication in order to allow them to develop their communicative competence. Terms sometimes used to refer to features of CLT include process oriented, task-based, and inductive, or discovery oriented. Inasmuch as strict adherence to a given text is not likely to be true to its processes and goals, CLT cannot be found in any one textbook or set of curricular materials. In keeping with the notion of context of situation, CLT is properly seen as an approach or theory of intercultural communicative competence to be used in developing materials and methods appropriate to a given context of learning. And contexts change.

Swan (2005) explains that phonology is the study of the sound systems of languages,
particularly how sounds function to convey meaning. This involves analyzing the
arrangement and patterns of sounds (phonemes) in a particular language.
Which phonological process is responsible for the phenomenon where the sound /t/ is pronounced as [ʧ] (a voiceless postalveolar affricate) in the word "nature" due to the influence of the following /ʊr/?

Read the following excerpt:
“ELF is now the most common use of English in the world (Jenkins 2007), so a study of its linguistic features and the ways it allows people to achieve successful intercultural communication offers insights about international communication and also guidelines for English language teaching. (...) Although ELF shares some grammatical and phonological features with New Englishes (Deterding and Kirkpatrick 2006), ELF speakers generally avoid the use of local lexis and idioms (Kirkpatrick 2007b). This is a key distinction between World Englishes and ELF, as one fundamental role of World Englishes lies in their ability to reflect local phenomena and cultural values, often through the use of borrowings from local languages. In contrast, this is avoided in ELF communication, where the fundamental role is to facilitate cross-cultural communication”
Kirkpatrick and Deterding, p. 382. In: SIMPSON, J. (Ed.) The Routledge Handbook of Applied Linguistics. London: Routledge, 2011.)
In relation to New Englishes and English as a Lingua Franca (ELF), it is correct to state that

According to Lourdes Ortega (2011), there are different approaches to explaining variability
of L2 learning across individuals. The following excerpt is related to a critical approach:
“As Norton and Toohey (2001) explain, in this perspective constructs such as motivation, aptitude, and other individual differences are reconceptualized as stemming from the interplay between people’s understanding of themselves in the world and the constraints, material and symbolic, that their worlds afford them. These understandings are dialectically shaped by the hopes and aspirations of individuals and by the power structures of the societal milieus that they inhabit”
ORTEGA, 2011, p. 179. In: SIMPSON, J. (Ed.) The Routledge Handbook of Applied Linguistics. London: Routledge, 2011).
Which statement best exemplifies the critical perspective in language learning?

Effective listening skills can enhance language learning. Consequently, teaching L2 listening
effectively has become a crucial responsibility for language educators. Anna Chang (In:
RENANDYA & WIDODO, 2016) outlines a theory-driven listening lesson, consisting of three
stages: pre-listening, while-listening and post-listening. Connect each stage with its
purposes, using the following code:
I. Pre-listening II. While-listening III. Post-listening
( ) Verify understanding, clear up any confusion, and consider challenges faced during listening.
( ) Engage in straightforward tasks that require minimal writing or reading.
( ) Complete tasks of various difficulty levels, focusing on different elements of the information.
( ) Define the objectives for listening exercises.
( ) Stimulate relevant prior knowledge and provide language support.
The correct association, from top to bottom, is:

According to Alves (et al., 2020), considering teaching pronunciation in English as a Foreign
Language class, mark T for True statements and F for False ones.
( ) Learners have more difficulty learning sounds that are phonetically closer, because they tend not to perceive them as different.
( ) The goal of learning pronunciation is to teach learners to speak like native speakers.
( ) It is important to highlight specific differences in the vowel systems of the native language and the target language in order to avoid intelligibility problems in communication.
( ) Students need resources to be able to understand speakers with different profiles, as well as to make their speech more intelligible.
The correct sequence of True and False statements, from top to bottom, is

The vowel system, the consonant system, and the syllabic and accentual patterns of the
English language present differences and similarities in relation to those of the Portuguese
language (ALVES et al., 2020). With this in mind, mark T for True statements and F for
False ones.
( ) There are more vowels in the Portuguese language compared to the English language.
( ) Regarding the consonants of the English language, there is phonetic variability depending on the syllabic position occupied by such segments within the word.
( ) The stress is distinctive in both English and Portuguese. In both languages, it can be used to differentiate verbs from nouns, for example.
( ) In the English language, words can be stressed on any syllable, unlike Portuguese, where words are stressed on one of the last three syllables.

The agenda in language acquisition studies was set by Noam Chomsky’s assertion (1965)
that language is an innately acquired faculty. Chomsky’s arguments were based upon
aspects of acquisition which are difficult to account for unless genetic transmission gives
the child a head start.
The correct sequence of True and False statements, according to Chomsky’s considerations on language acquisition, from top to bottom, include:
( ) the short period of time within which a child achieves grammatical competence.
( ) the lack of correction or explicit teaching by adults.
( ) the ‘poverty of the stimulus’ available to the child in the form of natural speech with its hesitations, false starts and syntactic errors.
( ) the fact that not all normally developing children acquire full competence, regardless of differences in their intellectual capacity.
