Leia o texto a seguir para responder à questão.


    Speakers of different languages have different sounds. Thus, as there is no equivalent in English for the ‘click’ in the South African language Xhosa, English speakers find it difficult to produce. British speakers mangle French vowels because they are not the same as the English ones. Japanese speakers, on the other hand, do not have different phonemes for /l/ and /r/ and so have difficulty differentiating between them.


    Whereas in some languages there seems to be a close relationship between sounds and spelling, in English this is often not the case. The sound /ʌ/, for example, can be realized in a number of different spellings (e.g. won, young, funny, flood). The letters ou, on the other hand, can be pronounced in a number of different ways (e.g. enough, through, though, and even journey). A lot depends on the sounds that come before or after them, but the fact remains that we spell some sounds in a variety of different ways, and we have a variety of different sounds for the same spelling.

Consider these anecdotes:


1. An ESL teacher instructs a group of 7 children every day for 45 minutes. They sing “I’m a Little Teapot” over and over again. Standing, they make gestures to show the tea pouring out. “I’m a little teapot, short and stout, here is my handle, here is my spout. When I get it all steamed up, hear me shout, just tip me over and pour me out”. And then the group starts again…

2. In visiting a class of a successful ESL teacher, you are struck that each activity lasts no more than ten minutes, that children are usually in movement - making something, holding something, moving their hands and walking somewhere.

There are few major contrasts that we can make between child and adult ESL learners. Children are more likely to play with language than adults are. In general, children are more holistic learners who need to use language for authentic communication in ESL classes.

In a children’s class, activities need to be child centered and communication should be authentic. Several themes repeatedly come up:


•  Focus on meaning, not correctness.

•  Focus on the value of the activity, not the value of language.

•  Focus on collaboration and social development.

•  Provide a rich context, including movement, the senses, objects and pictures, and a variety of activities.

•  Teach ESL holistically, integrating the four skills.

•  Treat learners appropriately in the light of their age and interests. •  Treat language as a tool for children to use for their own social and academic ends.

     One of the major foci of applied linguistics scholarship has been the foreign or second language classroom. A glance through the past century or so of language teaching gives us an interesting picture of varied interpretations of the best way to teach a foreign language. As schools of thought have come and gone, so have language teaching trends waxed and waned in popularity.

    Albert Marckwardt (1972) saw these “changing winds and shifting sands” as a cyclical pattern where a new paradigm of teaching methodology emerged about every quarter of a century, with each new method breaking from the old but at the same time taking with it some of the positive aspects of the previous paradigm. One of the best examples of the cyclical nature of methods is seen in the revolutionary Audiolingual Method (ALM) of the late 1940s and 1950s. The ALM borrowed principles and beliefs from its predecessor by almost half a century, the Direct Method, while breaking away entirely from the Grammar-Translation paradigm. Within a short time, however, ALM critics were advocating more attention to rules of language which, to some, smacked a return to Grammar Translation.

    AI has made it easier than ever to find information: Ask ChatGPT almost anything, and the system swiftly delivers an answer. But the large language models that power popular tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Anthropic’s Claude were not designed to be accurate or factual. They regularly “hallucinate” and offer up falsehoods as if they were hard facts.

Yet people are relying more and more on AI to answer their questions. Half of all people in the U.S. between the ages of 14 and 22 now use AI to get information, according to a 2024 Harvard study.

    Because the culture of any community has many facets and manifestations, it would be practically impossible to deal with all of them in the classroom and prepare students for the many situations that they might encounter in the course of their functioning in ESL/EFL environments. However, many important aspects of teaching the second culture can be brought forth and addressed via classroom instruction, and some of these are discussed here. The most important long-term benefits of teaching culture may be to provide learners with the awareness and the tools that will allow them to achieve their academic, professional, social, and personal goals and become successful in their daily functioning in L2 environments.

Powerful storm knocks out power to 1.4 million homes in Brazil’s largest city


    SAO PAULO (AP) — Around 1.4 million households in Sao Paulo, Brazil, were without power on Saturday almost 24 hours after a brief but powerful storm swept through South America’s largest metropolis. At least seven people were killed.


    Officials in Sao Paulo state said that record winds of up to 67 mph (108 kph) knocked down transmission lines and destroyed trees, causing severe damage in some parts. The storm also shut down several airports and interrupted water service in several areas, according to the state government.


    Authorities originally expected to restore power within a few hours. But several neighborhoods in the metropolitan area, which is home to 21 million people, were still in the dark on Saturday, and authorities were urging residents to limit their consumption of water.

Text CB1A2 


        Currently, the Digital Euro has not been launched — though there are signs that a launch may be coming sooner rather than later. By October 2025, the ECB (European Central Bank) has indicated a second phase of the preparation for the Digital Euro. By then, the ECB will have prepared an outreach plan, procurement standards, and technology providers.


        The Digital Euro has potential downsides, many of them echoed in the other launches of central bank digital currencies. For example, the central bank will become a technology company focused on procurement with central points of failure. This was a breeding ground for corruption for the bureaucrat fortunate enough to make these technical choices in China.


        While the Digital Euro is slated to “coexist” with cash, this also comes when EU (European Union) nations are voting on ending end-to-end encryption (a critical digital privacy tool) and have started to restrict cash with limits being placed on how much you can spend in cash to accelerate its slow demise.


        User privacy is said to be the ECB’s “chief concern” as it has been designing the central bank’s digital currency. Certainly, the ECB is aware of public perception that has negative surveillance, control, and privacy implications in mind. The ECB has been at pains to say that the Digital Euro will “coexist” with cash and that unlike the e-CNY (China’s central bank digital coin) it will not be tied to a “social credit” score or place limits on how money is spent.


        A big part of the ECB’s drive towards the Digital Euro is to compete and pry Europeans away from Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, and “stablecoins”.


        Central bank digital currencies are a direct liability of the central bank. Since the central bank has the power to issue currency, this means that the central bank can essentially create “digital euros” if it wishes to. The architecture and data within a central bank digital currency are usually built completely by the central bank supported by private vendors of its choice. In China, the central bank has turned away from a distributed ledger technology to a centralized data store, in which the technical details are pretty scant. Hence, the central bank controls everything, and the system has no external access.

Read the text to answer question:


    On January 13, 2025, a bill was signed into law to regulate students’ use of personal portable electronic devices, including cell phones, in public and private schools in Brazil. (Law No. 15,100.) It came into force upon its publication in the January 14 edition of Brazil’s official gazette.


    The law, which applies in elementary, middle, and high schools, prohibits the use of portable electronic devices by students during classes, recess, and breaks. It provides that teachers may allow use of such devices for pedagogical purposes. The law allows their use in cases of danger or emergency. It also permits their use for purposes of ensuring accessibility and inclusion, addressing health conditions, and ensuring fundamental rights. (Arts. 2, 3.)


    The stated purpose of the law is to safeguard the mental, physical, and psychological health of children and adolescents. (Art. 1.) It requires schools to develop strategies to address students’ mental health, including preventing excessive use of devices and inappropriate content. They must also offer training for personnel to detect signs of psychological distress and create spaces to support those suffering mental distress from the excessive use of electronic devices. (Art. 4.)

    On January 13, 2025, a bill was signed into law to regulate students’ use of personal portable electronic devices, including cell phones, in public and private schools in Brazil. (Law No. 15,100.) It came into force upon its publication in the January 14 edition of Brazil’s official gazette.


    The law, which applies in elementary, middle, and high schools, prohibits the use of portable electronic devices by students during classes, recess, and breaks. It provides that teachers may allow use of such devices for pedagogical purposes. The law allows their use in cases of danger or emergency. It also permits their use for purposes of ensuring accessibility and inclusion, addressing health conditions, and ensuring fundamental rights. (Arts. 2, 3.)


    The stated purpose of the law is to safeguard the mental, physical, and psychological health of children and adolescents. (Art. 1.) It requires schools to develop strategies to address students’ mental health, including preventing excessive use of devices and inappropriate content. They must also offer training for personnel to detect signs of psychological distress and create spaces to support those suffering mental distress from the excessive use of electronic devices. (Art. 4.)

Read the text and answer question:


    A language ecosystem describes a holistic environment that encourages and extends the learning and application of language beyond the classroom. While an ecosystem is a simple concept, there are a few things to keep in mind. Here are quick tips to get you started.


Tip #1. Go on language missions (gather and utilize resources).


    The concept of exploring is at the center of attention here for good reason. Your mission (should you choose to accept it) is to find and gather resources that are potential candidates for your language ecosystem. It is not unlike going shopping for furniture, in that you want to find items that will match your personal preference and lifestyle in a natural way. As you search for items to “add” to your ecosystem, you will want to consider how well they function in your life or home.


    You might be wondering how one begins a search to find resources. I primarily use search engines, social media, streaming video, and music to look for resources that might work. I am not the only one, however, who has learned to keep an eye out for resources. Since inviting many of my own friends to learn a language with me, many people now send me links to things I might like. 


Tip #2: Join a language-learning network


    Speaking of people, one of the most essential strategies in forming a language ecosystem is finding the right people to join you on your journey. I call this “forming a language learning network.” While fluent speakers are an excellent resource, I also find that fellow language learners, people who are learning the language just like me, are more patient conversation partners. Finally, I often find that people who share my same interests (say, French cooking, for example), can be excellent companions for listening and speaking practice.
