A job among the stars


(1º§)Working on the ISS (International Space Station) is every astronaut´s dream. Life on board may sound glamorous to some people, but conditions can be uncomfortable and we have a demanding schedule - we work ten-hour days and have one and a half days off - although when you live in your office, it´s hard to separate on-duty and off-duty.

(2º§)Our tasks are quite varied - we do a range of scientific experiments - but we also have to perform routine maintenance and regular safety checks, like cleaning the air filter and inspecting our emergency equipment. We exercise twice a day - if you don´t, your muscles just disappear in the weightless conditions.

(3º§)Life is never dull, but you can feel lonely up here, away from friends and family. Work can also be stressful, so in my free time, I relax by writing and answering emails. I also love taking photos of the views from up here.

Politics of colour thrives in Hindi belt


(1º§) Uttar Pradesh's chief ministers are known to go into an overdrive to promote their party flags' colours. BSP's Mayawati painted Lucknow blue, SP's Akhilesh Yadav replaced it with a dash of green and red and now it's Yogi's turn to go saffron.

(2º§) Lucknow: As soon as you alight from a train or an aircraft in Lucknow, the first signage that greets you, says, "Muskuraiye ki aap Lucknow mein hain." The colour of this signage will also inform you about the party that is in power in Uttar Pradesh. Lucknow is, perhaps, the only state capital in the country where the politics of colour dominates the development projects of the city.

(3º§) The politics of colour was initially started by the Bahujan Samaj Party in 2007 when the party came to power with a comfortable majority on its own and blue become the dominant colour of official signages.

(4º§) Prof Ramesh Dixit, a retired professor in political sciences, explained the competition among parties to popularise their preferred party colour. "The parties that pursue politics of colour want their voters to identify with colours. This makes it easy for them to campaign with T-shirts and gamchas in the colours of their parties," he said. "The bureaucracy has played a major role in fuelling this colour politics. They are the ones who go into an overdrive to please their political bosses. They use this to justify the huge amounts of money spent in replacing signages and re-painting railings and gates," he said.

(5º§) For Ms Mayawati, the brain behind colour branding in politics, her election as chief minister was a time to go blue - the party's official and flag colour - with a vengeance. All road railings and signage were painted blue, traffic constables also got a change of uniform - white shirt and blue pants in place of an all white dress. Incidentally, the colour of traffic cops' has remained so since then. Under Mayawati's rule, the official phone directory also came with a blue cover and government hoardings had a blue background. The stages for all programmes attended by the then chief minister, were draped in blue.

(6º§) The BSP rallies were known for men painting their bodies in blue and carrying blue elephant replicas. When the Samajwadi Party came to power in 2012, the first decision taken by its chief minister Akhilesh Yadav was to change the colour of official signages to green. The blue colour flew off the railings and road dividers and an emphatic green replaced it. Stages for official events had bold red and green backdrop, and the official phone directory turned green.

(7º§) When the BJP came to power last year, chief minister Yogi Adityanath shunned the rival parties' colours and started the saffron revolution. Spotting the chief minister's penchant for all things saffron, the state bureaucracy went into an overdrive and got saffron curtains, saffron towels, saffron diaries, saffron hoardings and saffron flowers for government programmes and offices. State minister Siddhartha Nath Singh defended the saffron wave and said, "Saffron is a colour that denotes positivity. The rising sun is saffron in colour. What is the problem if we want to bring positivity into the government?"

A day at work


(1º§)In the morning I attended a meeting between the management and union representatives. The discussion was very comprehensive , covering topics like working hours, days off, retirement age, etc. Both sides were interested in an agreement and ready to compromise. The secretary recorded everything in the notes. Eventually , they decided to set a new meeting to sign the final draft of the agreement.

(2º§)Back at the office, a colleague of mine asked me if I had realized that the proposed agreement would be partially against the company policy not to accept workers that have already retired. I pretended to be really busy and late for an appointment and left for the cafeteria. Actually, I didn´t want to discuss the matter at that particular moment because there were some strangers in the office.

(3º§)After lunch, I attended a lecture given by the mayor, who is an expert in tax legislation and has a graduate degree in political science. He said his government intends to assist welfare programs and senior citizens, raise funds to improve college education and build a public library and establish tougher limits on vehicle emissions because he assumes this is what the people expect from the government.

UK inflation exceeds 10% as bread and milk prices soar

By Mark Thompson, CNN Business
August 17, 2022

(1º§) (CNN Business) Inflation in the United Kingdom hit a new 40-year high last month, rising above 10% for the first time since 1982 and piling further pain on households already struggling to pay their bills.

(2º§) Annual consumer price inflation hit 10.1% in July, according to data published by the Office for National Statistics on Wednesday, up from 9.4% in June. Soaring food prices - up 12.7% since July 2021 - were the largest single contributor to the acceleration in inflation, the ONS said.

(3º§) The headline inflation number was higher than predicted by a Reuters poll of economists, and food inflation is now running at its highest level in 14 years.

(4º§) "All the eleven food and non-alcoholic beverage classes made upward contributions to the change in the annual inflation rate, where prices overall rose this year but fell a year ago," the ONS said.

(5º§) The largest upward contributions came from bread and cereals, and from milk, cheese, and eggs, with notable price increases in cheddar cheese and yoghurts.

(6º§) On a monthly basis, the consumer price index was up 0.6% in July, compared with no change a year ago. Higher gasoline and diesel prices, together with rising airfares, were also to blame, the ONS added.

“Another important characteristic of the [National Curricular] Parameters that should not be overlooked is their emphasis on teacher's autonomy. This emphasis can be seen clearly in the fact that no content or method is imposed upon the teachers. What one can find are suggestions and relevant information for teachers to make their own decisions, taking into consideration the context within which they work. In other words, the Parameters do not force any teacher to limit their focus on the teaching of reading, if they believe they can go further than that” (ALMEIDA, 2012, p. 334).

Foreign Language Teaching in Brazil: interfaces of the CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) approach in remote teaching

(Ana Lúcia Farias da Silva - 01/12/2021)



FINAL CONSIDERATIONS



English Language Teaching, in the modality of remote teaching, with the full use of Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) has advanced and can be efficient with the development of language skills associated with these technological and didactic resources appropriate to each objective in foreign language teaching. However, the teacher should have good planning, carefully reflecting and analyzing the tool that best suited to his/her goal.


Moreover, we postulate as indispensable the teaching of the English Language (EL), as a way of access to universal cultural goods, academic and professional environments of the globalized world, also considering an inclusive formation that leads the student to expand their readings of the world.


Moreover, classes, in real time, help in the cognitive process in relation to playing, dialoguing, in addition to awakening sensitivities such as visual and auditory perceptions, necessary for learning. Despite some flexibility, the use of English contributed to welcoming students in the mother tongue, which did not impair the learning of the proposed contents, on the contrary, it brought the students closer to the teacher-researcher, enabling a better work in language teaching. The results were perceived in the formal evaluations and in the engagement of the students during the classes, corroborating the pedagogical work that goes beyond teaching the contents and also goes through the ability of the educator to welcome and relate to his students.


Despite a pandemic moment, extremely challenging, especially for foreign language teaching, especially English, this research emphasized the need to follow the advancement of digital technologies and transform new challenges into knowledge, to optimize the adaptability of individuals, in view of the emerging educational contexts that have already been configured as a new reality at this time.


It is concluded, therefore, that according to the study presented and the current readings on foreign language teaching, in interface with multiple methods and possibilities in VLE, the new technological resources contribute and stimulate new didactic-pedagogical perspectives, in this panorama of remote teaching, driven by the pandemic. That said, it is possible to offer a teaching of the EL, in bilingual programs, in primary schools in Brazil today, even in elementary school, distance and quality, with priority to the development of all the language skills that an apprentice must activate, for significant and efficient foreign language learning.

Pandemic Language Teaching: insights from Brazilian and international teachers on the pivot to emergency remote instruction

(Sevilla-Pavon, A.; Finardi, K. R.)



ABSTRACT



This article reflects on the experiences of language teachers from Brazil, Spain, France, Cyprus, Costa Rica and Taiwan during the pivot to emergency remote/online instruction during the 2020 pandemic. The research question motivating the study was what language teachers' perceptions regarding online teaching during the pandemic were. Data were analyzed qualitatively, contrasting data from a questionnaire shared in an asynchronous online form with data from focus group interviews carried out via videoconferencing. The analysis of the questionnaire data showed that the vast majority of respondents used different digital technologies to teach online, both synchronously and asynchronously, but felt unprepared to work in this modality, mostly because of lack of institutional support and training. The analysis of the focus group interviews suggested that most teachers expressed concerns as to the limitations of online teaching for interaction and exams.

Pandemic Language Teaching: insights from Brazilian and international teachers on the pivot to emergency remote instruction

(Sevilla-Pavon, A.; Finardi, K. R.)



ABSTRACT



This article reflects on the experiences of language teachers from Brazil, Spain, France, Cyprus, Costa Rica and Taiwan during the pivot to emergency remote/online instruction during the 2020 pandemic. The research question motivating the study was what language teachers' perceptions regarding online teaching during the pandemic were. Data were analyzed qualitatively, contrasting data from a questionnaire shared in an asynchronous online form with data from focus group interviews carried out via videoconferencing. The analysis of the questionnaire data showed that the vast majority of respondents used different digital technologies to teach online, both synchronously and asynchronously, but felt unprepared to work in this modality, mostly because of lack of institutional support and training. The analysis of the focus group interviews suggested that most teachers expressed concerns as to the limitations of online teaching for interaction and exams. In addition, some teachers displayed negative attitudes towards online teaching due to the lack of preparation and institutional support. This was aggravated by political implications of migrating to online education that could result in precariousness of the teacher profession. The positive aspects highlighted were the possibility of developing more self-directed and autonomous learning, as well as experimenting with different technologies and approaches. Overall, the analysis of the data suggests that, after the pandemic and with due preparation and support, some of the digital technologies and approaches experimented with will be incorporated into pedagogical practices in blended approaches, which represent a real trend and possibility for language teaching in the post-pandemic context.
