Teaching English from an intercultural perspective aims to develop learners' ability to interact with people from different backgrounds by fostering critical awareness. Choose the alternative that correctly defines the goal of Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) in English Language Teaching.

The Brazilian National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) outlines specific competences for the English Language component, emphasizing its role as a global language. Analyze the following statements regarding these competences:

I.It involves recognizing English as a lingua franca, enabling access to diverse knowledge and participation in the global world.
II.It requires the use of new technologies and digital languages to research, select, share, and produce information critically.
III.It aims to amplify students' perspectives through contact with other cultures, fostering respect for diversity and intercultural understanding.

Choose the correct alternative:

Viewing oral communication as a form of literacy implies understanding speech not just as a skill but as a situated social practice involving interaction and negotiation.
Choose the alternative that correctly describes the pedagogical implication of this perspective for the English classroom.

When teaching writing for everyday situations, it is essential to address the concept of register, ensuring that the tone is appropriate for the target audience. If a student is required to write a formal letter of complaint to a company regarding a defective product, the closing salutation must match the formality of the content. Select the alternative that presents the most appropriate closing for a formal letter that begins with "Dear Sir or Madam,". 

The role of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) challenges the traditional native-speaker ideal, shifting the pedagogical focus towards intelligibility and cultural fluidity in global interactions. Regarding the implications of ELF for teaching culture in the English classroom, mark T for True and F for False in the following statements:

(__)ELF pedagogy prioritizes the ability to accommodate and negotiate meaning across diverse cultural backgrounds over the imitation of native-speaker cultural norms.

(__)Teaching culture in an ELF context implies presenting the culture of the United Kingdom or the United States as the sole correct model for social behavior.

(__)Intercultural awareness in ELF involves reflecting on how one's own cultural background influences communication with speakers from different origins.

(__)In the ELF perspective, cultural misunderstandings should be ignored to maintain the flow of conversation without interruption.

Choose the alternative that presents the correct sequence, from top to bottom. 

In the context of English Language Teaching (ELT), the concept of Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) proposed by authors like Michael Byram emphasizes that learning a language is inseparable from understanding its culture. When a teacher promotes activities that require students to mediate between their own culture and the target culture, avoiding essentialist stereotypes, they are fostering a specific skill. Select the alternative that correctly identifies the component of Byram's model related to the ability to interpret a document or event from another culture, to explain it and relate it to documents or events from one's own.

According to text 11A2-II, the key contradiction Szundy finds in the BNCC’s English language component, particularly in 6th grade skills, is

According to text 11A2-II, the BNCC’s inclusion of an intercultural axis, which values plural ways of being in the world, is viewed by Szundy as a feature that

Em que pese a coexistência de diferentes terminologias para designar o ensino da Língua Inglesa, bem como suas ênfases específicas, pontos de aproximação e eventuais sobreposições conceituais, o tratamento conferido a esse componente curricular desloca o foco de uma perspectiva estritamente normativa ou territorial. Nesse sentido, privilegia-se a compreensão do inglês a partir de sua função social e política, reconhecendo-o como meio de interação em contextos plurilíngues, interculturais e globalizados, o que conduz à sua abordagem no estatuto de:

According to the Brazilian National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), the English language is primarily treated as a: 

Considerando a abordagem metodológica do “Eixo Leitura” e o objetivo do 9º ano de “Distinguir fatos de opiniões em textos argumentativos da esfera jornalística” (PR.

Read the abstract below and then answer the question that follows.

The paper reflects on the role of technology in English language teaching (ELT) methodologies and on the impact of globalization and internationalization in education in general and in ELT in particular. The study is based on the assumption that access to information and technology is necessary to build social capital (WARSCHAUER, 2003) and that this access requires some English knowledge and digital literacy (FINARDI; PREBIANCA; MOMM, 2013). Departing from a bibliographic review on the use of ELT methodologies and the role of technologies in these methodologies, the study proposes that both the resistance to and the uncritical use of technologies and methodologies may bring negative consequences to the development of English language proficiency and social development in Brazil. The study concludes that in the post-method (BROWN, 2002; KUMARAVADIVELU, 2003) and information era (LEVY, 1999) technologies have a relevant and crucial role that should be critically considered in ELT methodologies. The study also suggests that the informed use of technologies and methodologies, allied with the teaching of English as an international language are essential to leverage the development and the internationalization of education in Brazil in a critical way in relation to the effects of globalization.

Ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes Ain't got no money, ain't got no class Ain't got no skirts, ain't got no sweaters Ain't got no perfume, ain't got no love Ain't got no faith

What have I got? Why am I alive anyway? Yeah, what have I got? Nobody can take away

As an English teacher, how would you explain the linguistic choices of the song based on the recommendations brought by the Brazilian National Common Core Curriculum (Base Nacional Comum Curricular)? 

In the verses “You're the coffee that I need in the morning / You're my sunshine in the rain when it's pouring”, the singer uses metaphors to express that:

Text 2 contains a short poem by rupi kaur. Based on a linguisticdiscursive analysis and the Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) reference in Text 1, what is the most significant nonstandard feature used by the author, and what is its likely effect?

A Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) e teóricos como Michael Byram enfatizam a Competência Comunicativa Intercultural (ICC). O ensino de inglês, nessa perspectiva, deixa de focar apenas na imitação do falante nativo para focar na formação de um falante intercultural. Assim, registre V, para as afirmativas verdadeiras, e F, para as falsas:
(__)A abordagem intercultural pressupõe que a cultura é um bloco monolítico e estático, devendo o aluno aprender os comportamentos fixos dos países do 'Círculo Interno' (EUAUK) para evitar gafes.
(__)O desenvolvimento do 'savoir-être' (atitudes) envolve a curiosidade e a abertura para suspender a descrença sobre outras culturas e a crença sobre a sua própria.
(__)A interculturalidade no ensino de inglês como Língua Franca (ELF) desvincula a língua da cultura exclusiva de seus falantes nativos, promovendo a apropriação da língua para expressar a identidade local do aprendiz.
(__)O objetivo final da competência intercultural é a total assimilação cultural, onde o aprendiz abandona sua identidade de origem para adotar integralmente os valores da cultura-alvo.
