Leia o texto a seguir para responder a questão:

There is no single way of teaching English, no single way of learning it, no single motive for doing so, no single syllabus or textbook, no single way of assessing proficiency and, indeed, no single variety of English which provides the target of learning. It is tempting, but unhelpful, to say there are as many combinations of these as there are learners and teachers. The proliferation of acronyms in English Language Teaching reflects this diversity of models. By a ‘model’ I do not mean a particular variety of English – such as US or British – though selection of a particular variety may play a role.

By a ‘model’ of English I mean a complex framework, which includes issues of methodology and variety, but goes beyond these to include other dimensions of the context and practice of learning English.

It is becoming clear that these issues are not easily separable. The appropriateness of content clearly depends on such things as the age of the learner and whether English is to be used primarily as a language of international communication or for survival communication with native speakers, perhaps whilst on holiday in the UK or some other English-speaking country. This is why I have identified broad models which can be thought of as configurations of the factors listed in the box.

There are many stakeholders involved in the teaching and learning process, each of whom may have a different view. Learners, their families, teachers, governments, employers, textbook publishers, examination providers – all now possess an interest in the English language business.

(David Graddol. English Next. Adaptado)

What core idea regarding the current state of English Language Teaching (ELT) does the author aim to convey?

A

The ELT field is characterized by a fundamental diversity, resulting in numerous non-uniform combinations of methods and objectives.

B

The area of ELT is gradually moving toward defining a unified model that can effectively integrate its various methodological and contextual components.

C

It is both possible and beneficial for the ELT to eventually consolidate existing methods into one single, comprehensive global standard.

D

The proliferation of acronyms in ELT is primarily due to the emergence of specific varieties of English, such as US or British, as distinct models.

E

The main challenge in ELT is the inability to distinguish among the various participants, such as learners, teachers, and textbook publishers.

Leia o texto a seguir para responder a questão:

The learning principles that good games incorporate are by no means unknown to researchers in the learning sciences. In fact current research on learning supports the sorts of learning principles that good games use, though these principles are often exemplified in games in particularly striking ways (for a survey and citations of the literature, see Gee 2003). However, many of these principles are much better reflected in good games than they are in today’s schools, where we also ask young people to learn complex and challenging things. With the current return in our schools to skill-and-drill and curricula driven by standardized tests, good learning principles have, more and more, been left on the cognitive scientist’s laboratory bench and, I will argue, inside good computer and video games.

Game design involves modeling human interactions with and within complex virtual worlds, including learning processes as part and parcel of these interactions. This is, in fact, not unlike design research in educational psychology where researchers model new forms of interaction connected to learning in classrooms (complex worlds, indeed), study such interactions to better understand how and why they lead to deep learning, and then ultimately disseminate them across a great many classrooms (see, for example, the chapters in Kelly 2003).

(James Paulo Gee. Situated Language and Learning: a critique of traditional schooling)

Based on the author’s comparison of game design to design research in education, a pedagogical practice an English as a Foreign Language teacher should prioritize to move beyond the criticized approach is

A

focusing on actions that limit content complexity until students have completely mastered foundational vocabulary and structures.

B

shifting the focus toward modeling and analyzing new interactions within complex, real-world tasks where learning is an inherent part of the activity.

C

developing and implementing strategies that are driven by the learning outcomes required for highstakes, standardized language tests.

D

ensuring students dedicate time to memorizing discrete linguistic elements on a laboratory bench, separate from authentic language use.

E

memorizing those learning principles that have been cited in the most recent surveys of the cognitive science literature.

(James Paulo Gee. Situated Language and Learning: a critique of traditional schooling)

According to the author, “good learning principles” are neglected and relegated because of

A

the focus on implementing complex educational technologies that distract from fundamental learning concepts.

B

the increasing need for teachers to model new forms of interaction, similar to design research in educational psychology

C

a persistent lack of resources and funding to purchase the good computer and video games needed for effective instruction.

D

the return to repetitive practice methods and the reliance on curricula shaped by formalized assessments.

E

a preference for using traditional learning activities that are widely understood over project-based learning principles.

Leia o texto a seguir para responder a questão:

Language monitor

A new topic area will quickly generate the need to acquire new language in the form of vocabulary, structures, and pronunciation. It is a good idea to have ready a way of coping with this demand.

If students can feel that they have the time and opportunity to master the use of language that either you or they have identified as being necessary for a certain stage in a project, this will go a long way to increasing their confidence and language competence.

One way to do this is to produce a language monitor which focuses on vocabulary and structures that have been identified as being useful.

This allows other students to read it and absorb the word or phrase, the meaning, pronunciation, associated words or collocations, and how to use it in a sentence. They can also add their own cards. The vocabulary monitor remains on the noticeboard throughout the project, constantly available for reinforcement and consolidation. It can also be used as a source of vocabulary games.

In addition to this or as an alternative, if you have suitable computer facilities available, electronic lists could be created. Students can add to the lists in the same way as the noticeboard. The updated list can be printed out at regular intervals and put on the noticeboard and handouts given to the students.

(Diana L. Fried-Booth. Project Work. Adaptado)

According to the text, the main purpose of the “Language Monitor” is to

A

serve as a temporary record for students to note down words they do not know during a class session.

B

replace traditional vocabulary instruction methods with a more modern and collaborative approach.

C

provide a continuous, accessible resource for reinforcing and consolidating project-specific vocabulary and structures.

D

function as a competitive tool where students earn points by adding the most complex words to the board.

E

allow the teacher to assess student progress by observing which specific language items are added to the monitor.

Leia o texto a seguir para responder a questão:

[…] The action research cycle results show that task design should follow a certain sequence: First, tasks should focus on gaining an understanding of the e-literacy skills required when working with tools such as forums, wikis, and social bookmarking sites for language learning and teaching purposes. Ideally, this understanding should enable teachers to provide a rationale for using bespoke tools. Next, tasks should raise their awareness of a tool’s specific affordances, i.e. the constraints and possibilities of the modes available for meaning making and communication (Hampel & Hauck, 2006). This will allow the teachers to move to the next level of Hampel and Stickler’s (2005) skills pyramid by fostering their multimodal communicative competence and thus their professional literacy (Willis, 2001). These steps are a prerequisite for the subsequent phase in which teachers themselves design tasks with the goal of fostering, in turn, their learners’ multimodal competence and autonomy since merely equipping learners with creative and democratic representational online resources will not necessarily result in higher student control over the learning process or the development of autonomy (Hampel & Hauck, 2006).

(Carolin Fuchs, Andreas Müller-Hartmann, Mirjam Hauck. Promoting learner autonomy through multiliteracy skills development in cross-institutional exchanges. Adaptado)

Based on the final phase described in the text, where teachers design tasks to foster learner autonomy and multimodal competence, a teacher planning a task using a discussion forum should ensure the task

A

requires students to produce a single structured written contribution, with clear criteria to ensure consistency and facilitate assessment of their participation.

B

encourages students to use the forum as a shared space for posting academic references and external materials, aiming to develop research and collaborative skills.

C

provides students with flexible guidelines that allow choice in register to adapt contributions to the communicative purpose while promoting learner autonomy.

D

limits contributions to formal academic English, so students work within consistent linguistic and rhetorical norms, reinforcing the tool’s inherent constraints.

E

bases the task on previously tested lesson designs, ensuring a structured environment while reducing the possibility of technical difficulties or confusion.

(Carolin Fuchs, Andreas Müller-Hartmann, Mirjam Hauck. Promoting learner autonomy through multiliteracy skills development in cross-institutional exchanges. Adaptado)

The text mentions that understanding a tool’s specific affordances involves recognizing “the constraints and possibilities of the modes available for meaning making and communication”.
For a language teacher, a significant implication of focusing on a tool’s constraints in task design is

A

selecting tools that impose specific limitations so that students follow the instructions and are prevented from deviating from the objectives established for the activity.

B

regarding constraints as a matter primarily for technical support teams to address, since they may otherwise divert the teacher’s focus away from the main pedagogical aims of the task.

C

understanding that constraints refer mainly to financial, technical, or administrative barriers that can hinder the full use of a technology, and which should be addressed by school management.

D

seeking to overcome technological constraints through the integration of additional software or tools, thereby transforming those limitations into new possibilities for communication.

E

acknowledging and intentionally planning the limitations of a tool, as these constraints will shape both the design of the communicative task and the resulting process of meaning-making.

Leia o texto a seguir para responder a questão:

Our analysis of the Time to Share series revealed that it follows the principles of recent theories in the development of the learning activities although there is an excessive use of the Portuguese language. Students are somewhat well encouraged to actively participate but more could be done in this sense. Further responsibility could be put upon the students in terms of interactions and research on the web. They are digital natives and their familiarity with this new world can make a difference in their involvement with learning English online for today and for the future. Their success depends on them, and they must be encouraged to learn by themselves.

(Reinildes Dias & Ana Emília Fajardo Turbin. The two “multis” and the multiliteracies pedagogy: “shaking hands” in the Brazilian English public education for teens.)

Choose the statement that most accurately conveys the authors’ critique and suggestions for improving the Time to Share series as presented in the text.

A

The materials’ overall theoretical adherence is nullified by the counterproductive and excessive use of the students’ native language.

B

The objective of recommending student responsibility for web research and interaction can decrease the cognitive burden on the instructor.

C

Despite its flaws, the series leverages students’ inherent advantage as digital natives, resulting in an involved and self-directed online learning experience.

D

The materials’ efficacy is compromised by a failure to maximize learner agency, despite its apparent appeal for active classroom participation.

E

The quality of the instructional design is a minor factor, as success in learning is a function of the student’s own motivation and autonomy.

Leia o texto a seguir para responder a questão:

The more traditional methods and approaches to teaching culture, such as movies and video, can be enhanced through the integration of digital media. Feature films have become readily available and have been included in numerous textbooks and designed to actively involve the learner (Aparisi, Blanco, & Rinka, 2007; Blanco & Tocaimaza-Hatch, 2007). Foreign language instructors are beginning to incorporate more movies in the foreign language classroom as “an accessible window” (Bueno, 2009, p. 319) to the target culture through “combined effects of images, sounds, camera, plots and dialogue” (Stephens, 2001, p. 2). According to Bueno (2009), media literacy promotes cross-cultural competence and comprehension focused on meaning rather than on form, as well as repeated exposure to L2 cultural products, practices, and perspectives, and the target language itself.

(Oxana Dema & Aleidine Kramer Moeller. Teaching culture in the 21st century language classroom. Adaptado.)

Considering the author’s point of view on the use of digital media for cultural and intercultural purposes, which of the following activities best exemplifies an enhanced use of films and digital media in the foreign language classroom?

A

Creating cloze exercises from the film’s script and displaying the completed text on a digital whiteboard to ensure students correctly identify verb conjugations

B

Requiring students to watch a foreign film excerpt and then use digital discussion boards to compare the cultural practices and body language to their own.

C

Asking students to write a plot summary of the film and submit it via a digital platform for the teacher to grade it based on grammatical accuracy and sentence structure.

D

Using a digital language lab to have students repeat key dialogue lines from the film multiple times until they achieve native-like pronunciation and intonation.

E

Organizing a classroom viewing of a feature film and providing a printed worksheet for students to list every new vocabulary item they encounter.

Read the following text and answer the questions.

Artificial Intelligence: The “lethal trifecta”

LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS (LLMs), a trendy way of building artificial intelligence, have an inherent security problem: they cannot separate code from data. As a result, they are at risk of a type of attack called a prompt injection, in which they are tricked into following commands they should not. Sometimes the result is merely embarrassing, as when a customer-help agent is persuaded to talk like a pirate. On other occasions, it is far more damaging.

The worst effects of this flaw are reserved for those who create what is known as the “lethal trifecta”. If a company, eager to offer a powerful AI assistant to its employees, gives an LLM access to untrusted data, the ability to read valuable secrets and the ability to communicate with the outside world at the same time, then trouble is sure to follow. And avoiding this is not just a matter for AI engineers. Ordinary users, too, need to learn how to use AI safely, because installing the wrong combination of apps can generate the trifecta accidentally.

Better AI engineering is, though, the first line of defence. And that means AI engineers need to start thinking like engineers, who build things like bridges and therefore know that shoddy work costs lives.

The great works of Victorian England were erected by engineers who could not be sure of the properties of the materials they were using. In particular, whether by incompetence or malfeasance, the iron of the period was often not up to snuff. As a consequence, engineers erred on the side of caution, overbuilding to incorporate redundancy into their creations. The result was a series of centuries-spanning masterpieces.

AI-security providers do not think like this. Conventional coding is a deterministic practice. Security vulnerabilities are seen as errors to be fixed, and when fixed, they go away. AI engineers, inculcated in this way of thinking from their schooldays, therefore often act as if problems can be solved just with more training data and more astute system prompts.

These do, indeed, reduce risk. The cleverest frontier models are better at spotting and refusing malicious requests than their older or smaller cousins. But they cannot eliminate risk altogether. Unlike most software, LLMs are probabilistic. Their output is driven by random selection from likely responses. A deterministic approach to safety is thus inadequate. A better way forward is to copy engineers in the physical world and learn to work with, rather than against, capricious systems that can never be guaranteed to function as they should. That means becoming happier dealing with unpredictability by introducing safety margins, risk tolerance and error rates.

Overbuilding in the AI age might, for instance, mean using a more powerful model than is needed for the task at hand, to reduce the risk it will be tricked into doing something inappropriate. It might mean imposing limits on the number of queries LLMs can take from external sources, calibrated to the risk of damage from a malicious query. And mechanical engineering emphasises failing safely. If an AI system must have access to secrets, then avoid handing it the keys to the kingdom.

In the physical world, bridges have weight limits – even if they are not always stated clearly to drivers. And, importantly, these are well within the actual tolerances that calculations suggest a bridge will bear. The time has now come for the virtual world of AI systems to be similarly equipped.

Adapted from The Economist, September 27th, 2025, p. 10

The text concludes that the Victorian engineers’ decision

A

was too rash.

B

should be heeded.

C

will soon be forgotten.

D

has proven to be unsound.

E

must be better substantiated.
