Foreign language pronunciation instruction
in a communicative language teaching context:
amounts, practices and beliefs
The aim of this research was to examine three important
components of foreign language pronunciation instruction
and the connections between them: amount, actual practices,
and teachers’ beliefs. The data consisted of 45 video-recorded
lessons in French-as-a-foreign-language in six secondary
schools in Norway and semistructured interviews conducted
with the same teachers whose instruction was previously
video-recorded. The video-recorded lessons were analysed
for amount and actual practices of pronunciation instruction
and the interviews were analysed for teachers’ background
in and beliefs about phonetics and pronunciation pedagogy.
Results indicated that: (1) on average, pronunciation
instruction accounted for a very small part of the teaching
time (less than 2%); (2) despite the emphasis on segmentals
and suprasegmentals in pronunciation teaching literature,
explicit teaching of segmental and suprasegmental features
of speech was rare in the recorded material; (3) there is a
need for more training in and knowledge of phonetics and
pronunciation pedagogy. These findings might be used
to address concerns regarding the role of pronunciation
instruction in foreign language teaching and to define factors
that may account for the difficulty of making pronunciation
instruction an integral part of language teaching.

Inside the classroom, some learners seem to take
advantage of what is going on more than others. Aware of
this, teachers will frequently say that successful students
possess some or all of the following characteristics.
1. A willingness to listen: good learners listen to what
is going on – not just in the sense of paying attention,
but also in terms of really listening to the English
that is being used, soaking it up with eagerness and
intelligence.
2. A willingness to try new things: many good learners
are not afraid to ‘have a go’. They are prepared to
try things out and see how it works. Of course, not
all successful language learners are extroverts, but
the urge to use the language (loudly or quietly) is an
important one.
3. A willingness to think about how to learn: good
learners bring or invent their own study skills when
they come to a lesson. They think about the best way
to memorize vocabulary, the best way to read a text
(slowly, translating every word? Or quickly, trying to get
a general understanding?), the best method of drafting
and re-drafting a piece of writing.
4. A willingness to ask questions: although some
teachers can become irritated by students who are
constantly asking difficult (and sometimes irrelevant)
questions, the urge to find out why is part of a
successful learner’s equipment.
5. A willingness to accept correction: good learners
are prepared to accept corrections if it helps them.
They are keen to get feedback from the teacher and
act upon what they are told. But this only works where
teachers are able to offer constructive criticism. It
involves teachers in judging their students’ responses
to correction so that they can act accordingly.
(Jeremy Harmer. How to teach English, 1998. Adaptado)
Subitem “5. A willingness to accept correction” focuses
on students’ errors and the role of teachers’ corrections.

Rain Is Coming to Burning Los Angeles and Will Bring Its Own Risks
Rain is forecast to begin as soon as Saturday
afternoon and to continue as late as Monday evening, says
meteorologist Kristan Lund of the National Weather Service’s
Los Angeles office. The area desperately needs the
precipitation, but experts are warily monitoring the situation
because rain poses its own risks in recently burned areas—
most notably the potential occurrence of mudslides and similar
hazards. “Rain is good because we’ve been so dry,” Lund
says. “However, if we get heavier rain rates or we get the
thunderstorms, it’s actually a lot more dangerous because you
can get debris flows.”
Fires do a couple of different things to the landscape
that can increase the risk of burned material, soil and detritus
hurtling out of control. When fires burn hot or long enough, they
leave an invisible layer of waxy material just under the surface
of the ground. This develops from decomposing leaves and
other organic material, which contain naturally hydrophobic or
water-repellent compounds. Fire can vaporize this litter, and
the resulting gas seeps into the upper soil—where it quickly
cools and condenses, forming the slippery layer.
When rain falls on ground that has been affected by
this phenomenon, it can’t sink beyond the hydrophobic layer—
so the water flows away, often hauling debris with it. “All of the
trees, branches, everything that’s been burned—unfortunately,
if it rains, that stuff just floats,” Lund says. “It’s really
concerning.” Even a fire that isn’t severe enough to create a
hydrophobic layer can still cause debris flows, says Danielle
Touma, a climate scientist at the University of Texas at Austin.
Under normal conditions, trees and other plants usually trap
some rain above the surface, slowing the water’s downward
journey. But on freshly burned land there’s much less greenery
to interfere; all the rain immediately hits the ground. [...]
Fortunately, the rain should also help firefighters tame
the blazes that remain active. The largest, the Palisades Fire,
is currently 77 percent contained. The second largest, the
Eaton Fire, is 95 percent contained. The Hughes Fire is third
largest and only 56 percent contained. A fire can be fully
contained but still burning. The containment percentage refers
to the amount of the perimeter that has barriers that firefighters
expect will prevent further spread.

In the 20th century, we made tremendous advances in discovering fundamental principles in different scientific disciplines that created major breakthroughs in management and technology for agricultural systems, mostly by empirical means. However, as we enter the 21st century, agricultural research has more difficult and complex problems to solve.
The environmental consciousness of the general public is requiring us to modify farm management to protect water, air, and soil quality, while staying economically profitable. At the same time, market-based global competition in agricultural products is challenging economic viability of the traditional agricultural systems, and requires the development of new and dynamic production systems. Fortunately, the new electronic technologies can provide us a vast amount of real-time information about crop conditions and near-term weather via remote sensing by satellites or ground-based instruments and the Internet, that can be utilized to develop a whole new level of management. However, we need the means to capture and make sense of this vast amount of site-specific data.
Our customers, the agricultural producers, are asking for a quicker transfer of research results in an integrated usable form for site-specific management. Such a request can only be met with system models, because system models are indeed the integration and quantification of current knowledge based on fundamental principles and laws. Models enhance understanding of data taken under certain conditions and help extrapolate their applications to other conditions and locations.

Many studies reveal the contributions of plant breeding
and agronomy to farm productivity and their role in reshaping
global diets. However, historical accounts also implicate these
sciences in the creation of new problems, from novel disease
vulnerabilities propagated through industrial monocrops to the
negative ecological and public health consequences of crops
dependent on chemical inputs and industrialized food systems
more generally.
Increasingly, historical analyses also highlight the
expertise variously usurped, overlooked, abandoned, or
suppressed in the pursuit of “modern” agricultural science.
Experiment stations and “improved” plants were instruments of
colonialism, means of controlling lands and lives of peoples
typically labeled as “primitive” and “backward” by imperial
authorities. In many cases, the assumptions of colonial improvers
persisted in the international development programs that have
sought since the mid-20th century to deliver “modern” science to
farming communities in the Global South.
Awareness of these issues has brought alternative domains
of crop science such as agroecology to the fore in recent decades,
as researchers reconcile the need for robust crop knowledge and
know-how with the imperatives of addressing social and
environmental injustice.

In the 20th century, we made tremendous advances in
discovering fundamental principles in different scientific
disciplines that created major breakthroughs in management and
technology for agricultural systems, mostly by empirical means.
However, as we enter the 21st century, agricultural research has
more difficult and complex problems to solve.
The environmental consciousness of the general public is
requiring us to modify farm management to protect water, air,
and soil quality, while staying economically profitable. At the
same time, market-based global competition in agricultural
products is challenging economic viability of the traditional
agricultural systems, and requires the development of new and
dynamic production systems. Fortunately, the new electronic
technologies can provide us a vast amount of real-time
information about crop conditions and near-term weather via
remote sensing by satellites or ground-based instruments and the
Internet, that can be utilized to develop a whole new level of
management. However, we need the means to capture and make
sense of this vast amount of site-specific data.
Our customers, the agricultural producers, are asking for a
quicker transfer of research results in an integrated usable form
for site-specific management. Such a request can only be met
with system models, because system models are indeed the
integration and quantification of current knowledge based on
fundamental principles and laws. Models enhance understanding
of data taken under certain conditions and help extrapolate their
applications to other conditions and locations.

Agricultural Science and Technology in the 21st Century. In: Lajpat R. Ahuja; Liwang Ma; Terry A. Howell

Considering the text presented above, judge the following items.
The use of “However”, in the last sentence of the second paragraph, helps to indicate that the vast amount of data that technology can provide is not enough to meet the needs of agricultural producers.

Spending time in space and having an unrivalled view of
planet Earth is an experience many of us dream of, but the
human body evolved to function in the gravity of Earth. So fully
recovering from spending time in the weightlessness of space can
take years.
“It’s a fact that space is by far the most extreme
environment that humans have ever encountered and we’ve just
not evolved to handle the extreme conditions,” Professor Damian
Bailey, who studies human physiology, says. To begin with, the
heart and blood vessels have an easier time as they no longer
have to pump blood against gravity — and they start to weaken.
And the bones become weaker and more brittle. There should be
a balance between the cells breaking down old bone and those
making new, but that balance is disrupted without the feedback
and resistance of working against gravity. “Every month, about
1% of bones and muscles are going to wither away — it’s
accelerated ageing,” Professor Bailey says.
Microgravity also distorts the vestibular system, which is
how you balance and sense which way is up. In space, there is no
up, down or sideways. It can be disorientating when you go
up — and again when you return to Earth.

The pursuit of space exploration represents one of the
most captivating undertakings of the human race, serving as a
testament to our inherent drive to comprehend the cosmos and
our position within it. As humanity expands its reach beyond the
confines of Earth, the intricate and essential relationship between
technology and law grows increasingly intricate and
indispensable.
The rapid progress of technology has ushered us into an
era when endeavours in outer space, previously confined to the
realm of science fiction, are now becoming tangible and feasible.
The present circumstances require a comprehensive legal
structure encompassing the existing range of space endeavours
and the flexibility to accommodate dynamic technological
advancements. The Outer Space Treaty of 1967 set the
foundational legal principles governing space exploration
activities. However, as humanity continues to explore space and
private companies participate alongside sovereign nations, the
intersection of technology and law serves as both a catalyst for
progress and a cause of disagreement.

By the middle years of the 20th century, the optimistic
story of limitless progress through scientific and technological
advance came to be rivalled and sometimes overshadowed by a
much more pessimistic, even apocalyptic vision of the trajectory
of the modern project. It began to seem increasingly possible that
technology would come to master its creators and carry humanity
toward unforeseen and possibly catastrophic outcomes.
Premonitions of technological wizardry leading to
disasters are extremely old, dating back at least to the myth of
Icarus, who is said to have fatally fallen into the sea after flying
too close to the sun on wings his father, Daedalus, constructed.
As the Industrial Revolution gathered steam, dark anticipations
became increasingly widespread, in works such as Mary
Shelley’s Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus and Karel
Capek’s R.U.R. Perhaps technology, not man, was “in the
saddle,” as Henry Adams worried. And perhaps machines,
becoming ever more capable and interconnected, were the next
step in the evolution of life, destined to dominate and eventually
eliminate humanity, as Samuel Butler warned. The contours of
the future, H. G. Wells announced in one of his famous lectures,
“The Discovery of the Future,” were difficult to discern but
would surely be unlike the past or the present, and definitely
included disasters of new types and magnitudes.
In the ghastly world wars, technological advances
empowered barbarism on a new scale, destroying the credibility
of the simple modernist faith that more potent tools are a straight
path to human betterment. Rather, technological advance has
produced a cornucopia of double-edged swords, with amplified
possibilities for both progress and disaster. A growing herd of
horsemen of the anthropogenic apocalypse have ominously
appeared on the human horizon of possibility: nuclear weapons,
genetic engineering, total surveillance despotism, runaway
artificial intelligence, and rampant environmental decay.
