From Rockets to Ball Bearings, Pentagon Struggles to Feed War Machine: The flow of arms to Ukraine has exposed a worrisome lack of production capacity in the United States that has its roots in the end of the Cold War. By Eric Lipton
March 24, 2023,
Disponível em: www.nytimes.com
WASHINGTON — The Navy admiral had a blunt message for the military contractors building precision-guided missiles for his warships, submarines and planes at a moment when the United States is dispatching arms to Ukraine and preparing for the possibility of conflict with China.
“Look at me. I am not forgiving the fact you’re not delivering the ordnance we need. OK?” Adm. Daryl Caudle, who is in charge of delivering weapons to most of the Navy’s East Coast-based fleet, warned contractors during an industry gathering in January. “We’re talking about warfighting, national security, and going against a competitor here and a potential adversary that is like nothing we’ve ever seen. And we can’t dillydally around with these deliveries.”
His open frustration reflects a problem that has become worryingly apparent as the Pentagon dispatches its own stocks of weapons to help Ukraine hold off Russia and Washington warily watches for signs that China might provoke a new conflict by invading Taiwan: The United States lacks the capacity to produce the arms that the nation and its allies need at a time of heightened superpower tensions.
Industry consolidation, depleted manufacturing lines and supply chain issues have combined to constrain the production of basic ammunition like artillery shells while also prompting concern about building adequate reserves of more sophisticated weapons including missiles, air defense systems and counter-artillery radar.
The Pentagon, the White House, Congress and military contractors are all taking steps to address the issues.
Procurement budgets are growing. The military is offering suppliers multiyear contracts to encourage companies to invest more in their manufacturing capacity and is dispatching teams to help solve supply bottlenecks. More generally, the Pentagon is abandoning some of the costcutting changes embraced after the end of the Cold War, including corporate-style just-in-time delivery systems and a drive to shrink the industry.

TEXTO III
Song by Miley Cyrus
We were good, we were gold
Kinda dream that can't be sold
We were right 'til we weren't
Built a home and watched it burn
I didn't wanna leave you
I didn't wanna lie
Started to cry but then remembered
I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours
Say things you don't understand
I can take myself dancing
And I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than you can
Can love me better
I can love me better, baby (2x)

TEXTO I
“By definition, all second language learners, regardless of age, have already acquired at least one language. This prior knowledge may be an advantage in the sense that they have an idea of how languages work. On the other hand, knowledge of other languages can lead learners to make incorrect guesses about how the second language works, and this may result in errors that first language learners would not make.
Very young language learners begin the task of first language acquisition without the cognitive maturity or metalinguistic awareness that older second language learners have. Although young second language learners have begun to develop these characteristics, they will still have far to go in these areas, as well as in the area of world knowledge, before they reach the levels already attained by adults and adolescents.”

The Importance of Didactics and
Methodology in English Language Teaching
Teaching English involves much more than explaining grammar rules or asking students to memorize vocabulary. Effective English language teaching requires careful planning, appropriate teaching methods, and an understanding of how students learn.
Didactics refers to the principles and strategies that guide the teaching and learning process. It helps teachers organize lessons, define learning objectives, choose suitable materials, and evaluate students’ progress. Good didactics creates a positive learning environment where students feel motivated to participate and develop their language skills.
Methodology, on the other hand, focuses on the methods and approaches used in the classroom. Throughout history, different methodologies have been developed to improve language learning. For example, the Grammar-Translation Method emphasizes reading, writing, and translation, while the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach encourages students to use English in real-life situations through meaningful interaction.
Modern English teaching often combines different methodologies to meet the needs of diverse learners. Teachers may use games, technology, group work, role-playing activities, and project-based learning to make lessons more engaging and effective. This flexible approach recognizes that students have different learning styles, interests, and levels of proficiency.
Assessment is another essential part of the teaching process. Besides traditional tests, teachers can evaluate students through presentations, classroom participation, portfolios, and collaborative projects. Continuous assessment allows teachers to monitor students’ progress and adjust their teaching strategies when necessary.
Finally, an effective English teacher is not only knowledgeable about the language but also reflective about their teaching practice. By evaluating their lessons and seeking professional development, teachers can continuously improve their instructional methods and better support their students’ learning.
