Predicting the unpredictable
Some years ago, a devastating earthquake struck the
Italian town of L’Aquila. More than 300 people lost
their lives, over 1,500 people were injured, and many
buildings were destroyed. Two years later, seven earthquake experts were involved in a court case: Did they
adequately warn the public after the initial tremors
began? At the heart of the debate is whether they
could have predicted a disaster like this.
Although a lot of scientists are working to improve
our ability to predict natural disasters, so far no
one has come up with a reliable method to forecast
earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, days or weeks
beforehand. Most of the research focuses on the areas
most likely to experience seismic activity – but even
our knowledge about where these areas are, is very
limited. One reason for this is that human beings have
only been around for a very small part of the Earth’s
history. In geological terms, we all arrived on the
scene very recently. Records from the past 2,000 years
are incomplete, and the biggest earthquakes nearly
always happen in areas where there have been no
earthquakes in recorded history.
So, is there any hope for improving our ability to
predict disasters? A solution may come from an
unexpected source. Four years ago, a team of US
physicists at Rutgers University in New Jersey were
studying why pharmaceutical powders stick together.
They observed that the powder stuck together when
placed in a spinning cylinder, but then developed
cracks and collapsed. Just before the cracks developed,
an electric signal, like a small bolt of lightning, was
created. The scientists repeated the experiment with a
wide range of different materials, and they got similar
results every time.
This phenomenon might also exist in nature. Some
scientists believe that rocks may become electrically
charged under unusual pressure, such as before an
earthquake. This electric charge then causes changes
in the surrounding air or water, which animals may be
able to sense before humans do. For example, while
biologists were studying a colony of frogs in a pond
near L’Aquila, they noticed that nearly all the animals
left the water days before the earthquake. A similar
thing happened in China, when snakes were hibernating for the winter in caves, but escaped just before a
large earthquake. The same kind of electric charge,
like the small bolt of lightning felt in the experiment at
Rutgers, may have been responsible.
At the moment, there is no reliable way ............ using such findings to predict earthquakes, and
further studies may be necessary to give us a better
understanding of the interactions involved, but one
day, the technology may be used ............ predict
future catastrophes. For example, two science institutions in Russia and Britain are already developing a
new micro-satellite, which could detect these electric
signals and help rescue people ................ natural
disasters in time. Scientists are planning to launch the
first of these satellites ............... space. Will these
satellites be the solution? Only time will tell. For the
time being, the best defense is to be prepared.
Study these sentences and decide if they are
true ( T ) or false ( F ), according to the article.
( ) Some years ago, a court found that seven scientists were responsible for 300 deaths and 1,500 injuries in the L’Aquila earthquake.
( ) Several research studies in physics and biology show that electric charges may be able to predict earthquakes in the future.
( ) Scientists in Britain and Russia have developed satellites that can already predict earthquakes accurately.
( ) Scientists believe that rocks may become electrically charged before an earthquake.
Choose the alternative which presents the correct sequence, from top to bottom.

Read the excerpt that follows from Khalid and Husnin’s (2019) paper “CHALLENGES AND SUPPORT FOR
THE DEVELOPMENT OF NOVICE TEACHERS’ PROFESSIONAL IDENTITIES”.
“In order to become effective, teachers have to be professionally prepared. Teachers therefore need to experience continuing professional development so as to become more effective (Harris, 2002). For pre-service teachers, teaching practice is one of the key elements in their training (Haigh and Tuck, 1999; Hill and Brodin, 2004). Through pre-service training, student teachers are provided with experience in teaching and learning in and outside the classroom, as well as opportunities to enhance the development of their characters so as to become ethical and professional (Kennedy, 2006). Some past studies have proven that teaching practice helps pre-service teachers to have better discussions with lecturers and mentors, and thus helps pre-service teachers to determine the approaches to use and their implications in teaching (Botha and Reddy, 2011; Agbo, 2003). In addition, teaching practice has been found to help pre-service teachers to enhance those skills related to problem identification, decision making, and the selection of approaches to overcome problems in classroom situations, and has also been found to be incredibly significant in developing pre-service teachers’ confidence in themselves (Khalid, 2014). Nevertheless, teachers’ professional development is not merely limited to preservice training. Berliner (1995) views the initial stage of new teachers’ professionalism as the critical stage in which novice teachers will face numerous conflicts, responsibilities and tasks”.
That being said, relying on linguistic skills and reading techniques, check the answer which is associated with the global meaning of the excerpt of the paper provided.

Stephen Krashen (1985) is an expert in the field of
linguistics, specializing in theories of language
acquisition and development. Much of his research has
involved the study of non-English and bilingual
language acquisition. In a brief mention of Krashen's
widely known and well-accepted theory of second
language acquisition, which has had a large impact in
all areas of second language research and teaching, it is
correct to say that it is made of five hypotheses, which
are presented below. Considering all the 5 (five)
hypotheses provided by Krashen in his Acquisition
Theory, match the second column by using the
information provided in the first, then check the correct
answer.
(A) The Natural Order hypothesis.
(B) The Affective Filter hypothesis.
(C) The Acquisition-Learning hypothesis
(D) The Monitor hypothesis
(E) The Input hypothesis
( ) This hypothesis reinforces that our ability to produce statements in another language is the result of unconscious knowledge and that conscious knowledge has the function of editing and correcting the output (oral productions).
( ) According to this hypothesis, learners who are poorly motivated, insecure, anxious and with low self-esteem would be prevented from connecting the input with the LAD (Language Acquisition Device).
( ) This hypothesis predicts that there is only one way to acquire the language: understanding messages.
( ) This hypothesis predicts that there are two ways to develop a second language. The first one would be unconscious and the second one would be conscious.
( ) This hypothesis suggests that we acquire the rules of a language regardless of how these rules are taught in the classroom.

Text CB1A7
Whenever a global economic transformation takes place, a single city usually drives it forward. Ghent, in modern-day Belgium, was at the core of the burgeoning global wool trade in the 13th century. The first initial public offering took place in Amsterdam in 1602. London was the financial centre of the first wave of globalisation during the 19th century. Today the city is San Francisco.
California’s commercial capital has no serious rival in generative artificial intelligence (AI), a breakthrough technology that has caused a bull market in American stocks and which, many economists hope, will power a global productivity surge. Almost all big AI start-up companies are based in the Bay Area, which comprises the city of San Francisco and Silicon Valley (largely based in Santa Clara county, to the south). OpenAI is there, of course; so are Anthropic, Databricks and Scale AI. Tech giants, including Meta and Microsoft, are also spending big on AI in San Francisco. According to Brookings Metro, a think tank, last year San Francisco accounted for close to a tenth of generative AI job postings in America, more than any other city of the country. New York, with four times as many residents, was second.

Back in October 2011, Stanford professors launched three
free online courses, open to the public. One by one, these courses
went massive, with enrollments topping 100.000 students each.
Soon the media was calling these courses MOOCs, short for
massive open online courses.
Since then, more than 1.200 universities around the world
have launched free online courses. In addition to the larger global
MOOC platforms, many national governments around the world
have launched their own country-specific MOOC platforms,
including India, Italy, Israel, Mexico and Thailand.
After a decade of popularization, in 2021, over
220 million students had signed up for at least one course on one
of these platforms, and 40 million did so in 2021 alone. MOOCs
and MOOC platforms are still growing, even after the crazy
“Year of the MOOC” prompted by the pandemic and travel
restrictions.
At Class Central, we try to catalog as many MOOCs as
possible, and our listing currently includes more than 150.000 of
them, from MOOC platforms and other online learning
platforms. But due to limited resources, we cannot index every
single one. If you’re looking for MOOCs from around the world,
this list is our best attempt to catalog all different MOOC

Text CB4A1
When parties to a private law dispute are based in
different countries, or the facts and issues giving rise to the
dispute cross national borders, questions of private international
law arise. In which country’s courts should the parties litigate
their dispute? Which country’s law should be applied to resolve
it? How can the judgment be enforced in another country?
Private international law is the body of domestic law that
supplies the rules used to determine these questions.
Problems of private international law are by no means a
recent phenomenon. The conditions that give rise to problems of
private international law date from at least the fourth century BC.
The problems are, however, becoming more difficult and
increasingly pervasive because modern technologies challenge
the territorial premise on which the existing rules of private
international law have been developed.
In this respect, the advent of the Internet in the late 1980s
has been a catalyst of socio-economic change that has posed
significant challenges for private international law. More recent
innovations, such as crypto-tokens and distributed ledgers, add
novel and arguably intractable problems to these existing
challenges.
The British Law Commission has a project that
particularly focuses on crypto-tokens, electronic bills of lading,
and electronic bills of exchange. This is because these assets are
prevalent in market practice, whilst also posing novel theoretical
challenges to the methods by which issues of private
international law have traditionally been resolved.

ESL Teaching and Post-Pandemic: What Changed?
Altiné Moumouni
The pandemic that started in 2019 has shaken the world, and it
has transformed the way we interact, the way we work, and even
made us appreciate the simplest things we took for granted.
1. Pandemic creates shortage of qualified ESL teachers
Currently, there are still fewer ESL teachers willing to travel
abroad and teach ESL. At the same, countries like the USA
experience a massive reduction in ESL teachers. About 44% of public
schools in the USA declare they need at least one teacher, and 61%,
particularly of these vacancies, are due to the COVID-19 pandemic,
including 51% resignations and 21% retirements (Source:
Usnews.com).
2. Pandemic increases uncertainty among ESL teachers
The pandemic increased the level of uncertainty as nobody
actually knows what will happen next. The best way to prepare is to
invest in yourself and become a better teacher.
3. Parents may experience income reduction
Most countries, including the USA, will experience postpandemic recession, reducing households’ discretionary spending for
education. This may lead to fewer private tutoring jobs available for
ESL teachers. In addition, some ESL students may need to drop out
of school to support their families.
4. ESL teachers less sure about teaching as a career
A study from the Brookings Institution found that, during the
pandemic, teachers have become less confident about their career
choices. The researchers found that many teachers considered
leaving or retiring during the 2020-2021 academic year.
5. Pandemic increases role of technology in ESL learning
One of the biggest issues is the increased role of technology in
ESL learning. In most western countries, including the UK, Canada,

ESL Teaching and Post-Pandemic: What Changed?
Altiné Moumouni
The pandemic that started in 2019 has shaken the world, and it
has transformed the way we interact, the way we work, and even
made us appreciate the simplest things we took for granted.
1. Pandemic creates shortage of qualified ESL teachers
Currently, there are still fewer ESL teachers willing to travel
abroad and teach ESL. At the same, countries like the USA
experience a massive reduction in ESL teachers. About 44% of public
schools in the USA declare they need at least one teacher, and 61%,
particularly of these vacancies, are due to the COVID-19 pandemic,
including 51% resignations and 21% retirements (Source:
Usnews.com).
2. Pandemic increases uncertainty among ESL teachers
The pandemic increased the level of uncertainty as nobody
actually knows what will happen next. The best way to prepare is to
invest in yourself and become a better teacher.
3. Parents may experience income reduction
Most countries, including the USA, will experience postpandemic recession, reducing households’ discretionary spending for
education. This may lead to fewer private tutoring jobs available for
ESL teachers. In addition, some ESL students may need to drop out
of school to support their families.
4. ESL teachers less sure about teaching as a career
A study from the Brookings Institution found that, during the
pandemic, teachers have become less confident about their career
choices. The researchers found that many teachers considered
leaving or retiring during the 2020-2021 academic year.
5. Pandemic increases role of technology in ESL learning
One of the biggest issues is the increased role of technology in
ESL learning. In most western countries, including the UK, Canada,
and the United States, many ESL students have at least some access
to electronic devices and internet.
