TEXT 1
After the students have repeated the dialogue several times, the teacher gives them a chance to adopt the role of Bill while she says Sally’s lines. Before the class actually says each line, the teacher models it. In effect, the class is experiencing a repetition drill where the students have to listen carefully and attempt to mimic the teacher’s model as accurately as possible.

TEXT 2
The teacher greets the class and distributes a handout. There is writing on both sides. On one side is a copy of a sports column from a recent newspaper. The reporter is discussing the last World Cup competition. The teacher asks the students to read it and then to underline the predictions the reporter makes about the next World Cup. He gives them these directions in the target language. Then, he and the students discuss which predictions the reporter feels more certain about and which predictions he feels less certain about.

Considering the concept of language learning methods and their characteristics, we can state about text 1 and text 2, respectively, that

Imagine a situation in which an English teacher has to deal with students’ diverse linguistic background knowledge and make them recognize and value the different English dialects and varieties, promoting a pluralistic view of English.

Considering this scenario, to foster an inclusive learning environment, the teacher should address the linguistic diversity and geopolitical aspects of English by

An Elementary School English teacher wants to create a didactic sequence based on the theme “social media”. The teacher decided to explore the following texts with her students, considering the principles of a critical approach and the principles proposed in the Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC).

TEXT 1
News is irrelevant. Out of the approximately 10,000 news stories you have read in the last 12 months, name one that – because you consumed it – allowed you to make a better decision about a serious matter affecting your life, your career or your business. The point is: the consumption of news is irrelevant to you. But people find it very difficult to recognise what’s relevant. It’s much easier to recognise what’s new. The relevant versus the new is the fundamental battle of the current age. In reality, news consumption is a competitive disadvantage. The less news you consume, the bigger the advantage you have.

TEXT 2
What students are saying about how social media affects their body image?
By The Learning Network – March 31, 2022
As we regularly do when The Times writes about an issue that touches the lives of young people, we used our daily Student Opinion forum to ask teenagers to share their perspectives on social media and body image. Let’s see what students from Hanover Horton High School think about it:
Student: LB, Hoggard High School, Wilmington NC
“When I was in fifth grade, I got Instagram and, at first, I was obsessed… It was all so new, but eventually I realized there was “no harm”. I regret thinking that. I would follow all the celebrities my friends did [...]. I started to feel inadequate about the way I dressed and looked… Eventually, I couldn’t stand the unhappiness of it all and I deleted the app. At first it felt weird. I would turn my phone to check it and nothing was there, in the end I forgot about it and I am better because of it. Social media makes you feel like you are less than you are.”
Student: Alexis, Hanover Horton High School “I find that I encounter more body positive content than negative. The reason for this though depends who you follow and surround yourself with, and I make sure to surround myself and follow those who encourage me instead of putting me down. When I see body positive content on social media I find that it just makes me feel normal for the body I have. Positive content can show people that your body doesn’t define you.”

The Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) objective that could be covered in such a teaching proposal is

In accordance with the the Paraná Curriculum Framework (Referencial Curricular do Paraná), critical thinking is an important competence to be developed in students. Which of the following alternatives best reflects this principle? 

Regarding the "Orality" axis in the BNCC for the English language, which statement is CORRECT? 

With respect to the instructional practices associated with the Audiolingual Method, a well-known framework in the 40s and 50s, it is correct to say that: 

In the context of English language learning, which of the following pairs are classified as PRODUCTIVE SKILLS? 

Throughout the history of English language teaching in Brazil, it can be assumed that all methodological approaches were used during the last century, except: 

A Base Nacional Comum Curricular apresenta uma mudança conceitual significativa na forma como a língua inglesa é compreendida no currículo escolar brasileiro. Essa mudança não se limita a aspectos terminológicos, mas implica uma revisão de pressupostos históricos, culturais e pedagógicos relacionados ao ensino da língua. Considerando essa perspectiva, assinale a alternativa que melhor sintetiza a principal consequência da adoção do inglês como língua franca.  

Quando se considera o papel da cultura na aprendizagem de uma segunda língua, uma implicação importante para os professores é

Na Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) - documento normativo de 2017 para a Educação Básica, incluindo Língua Inglesa nos Anos Finais -, o inglês é apresentado na perspectiva de língua franca, conceito que envolve

A Base Nacional Comum Curricular rompe com perspectivas tradicionais de ensino de Língua Inglesa ao adotar uma concepção de língua vinculada às práticas sociais, aos multiletramentos e à interculturalidade. Nesse contexto, assinale a alternativa correta.

Analise as afirmações sobre as estratégias de leitura e assinale (V) para as verdadeiras e (F) para as falsas.

( ) Ao consultar a lista telefônica de um hotel ou o índice de um livro técnico em inglês, o leitor utiliza prioritariamente a técnica de Scanning.
( ) Ler a sinopse de um artigo acadêmico apenas para decidir se ele é relevante para uma pesquisa é um exemplo clássico de aplicação de Skimming.
( ) O reconhecimento de cognatos não pode ser entendido como estratégia de leitura, mas como um recurso que expande o vocabulário na língua alvo.
( ) Todas as técnicas exigem que o leitor possua um vocabulário bilíngue extensivo, pois o desconhecimento de palavras isoladas inviabiliza o sucesso dessas estratégias de varredura rápida.

Após análise, conclui-se que a sequência correta é: 

Analyze the alternatives below carefully and identify the sentence in which there is a correct example of the use of a modal verb according to standard English grammar.

One of the pedagogical foundations of the Base Nacional Comum Curricular is the committed to integral education. In this sense, Basic Education should aim:

The Currículo da Educação Básica do Sistema Municipal de Ensino de Blumenau (2021), in the part corresponding to the English Language component, points out that ____________ seeks to analyze the language in its concreteness, and not as an object of linguistics. Therefore, the developmental practices of speaking and listening become part of a natural process in and through the interaction between the self and the other.

Check the alternative that fills the gap correctly.

Modal verbs in English express notions such as obligation, possibility, permission, and ability, varying according to the communicative context. Consider the sentence: "Students ___ wear uniforms at this school; it is a mandatory rule." Choose the alternative that presents the modal that expresses obligation and appropriately fills the gap.

Irregular verbs in English present specific forms in the simple past and in the past participle, not following the regular pattern of the "-ed" ending. Considering this characteristic, choose the alternative that correctly presents the past participle of the verb "go", used in the structure of the present perfect tense.

English Language teaching presupposes the articulated development of different linguistic skills by the learner. Regarding the teaching of the four skills — reading, listening, speaking, and writing — mark T for the true statements and F for the false statements:

(__) Reading in a foreign language develops through exposure to varied textual genres, with activities that mobilize different comprehension strategies.

(__) Oral production in the classroom is favored by activities that create contexts of meaningful interaction among students and set clear communicative goals for speaking.

(__) Listening skill develops properly through the memorization of word lists in alphabetical order, a method consolidated in current curricular proposals for language teaching.

(__) Written production benefits from proposals that combine the reading of textual models, the planning of the text to be produced, and collaborative revision with peers and teacher.

After analysis, choose the alternative that presents the correct sequence of the items above, from top to bottom:

Consider the word order in the sentences below:

I. Could you tell me what time the coffee shop opens?

II. Do you know if is Brenda coming to the party?

III. How many people have you traveled with?

Which sentences are correct?
