Read the selection bellow to answer question
Digital texts are unique in that they can be broadcast to people as close as the same classroom and as far away as the other side of the world. This attribute brings with it great responsibility, requiring one to recognize the norms of engaging with people of diverse background experiences, cultures, religions, and ideologies. How we interpret what we read on the inter net, for instance, is grounded in our own beliefs and unerstandings of the world.
(Available at: McDonald, Maureen; Boulden, Lauren; Karchmer-Klein, Rachel. Next-level digital tools and teaching. New York: Teachers College, Columbia University, 2022, p. 15).
Answer question based on the paragraph bellow:
[The] centrality of emotion in identity may seem to clash with a compelling argument that identity is a consciousness of one’s memories – that is, one’s history – in some organized pattern, often a continuous narrative... At one level, it is indispu table that a sense of one’s own identity is constructed from narrative memory.... However, we believe that we are arguing about a motivational process that underlies the very construction of such memories and the motivation for their construc tion. If people organize their thoughts, memories, and future hopes around happy events, it would be circularly the case that they are most them selves when this organization functions well and should have a sense of not being them selves if it does not function. Moreover, happy people should use particular strategies for thought (including memory construction) that are somewhat different from those of people who feel most themselves when they are excited or exhilarated.
(Available at: Haviland-Jones JM, Kahlbaugh P (2004) Emotion and identity. In: Lewis M, Haviland-Jones JM (eds) Handbook of emotions, 3rd edn. The Guilford Press, New York, pp 293–305)
( ) Personal identity is constructed, at least in part, from narrative memory.
( ) The authors argue that motivational processes influence the construction of memories.
( ) Happy people and people who feel most themselves when excited necessarily use the same thinking strategies.
( ) The text suggests that the way memories and future expectations are organized can influence an individual's percep tion of their own identity.
The statements are, respectively:
I. Digital technologies.
II. Scholarships.
III. Supremacy of native-speakers.
IV. Bottom-up curriculum design.
V. Translanguaging.

Tech-enhanced learning: edtech trends, AI and the future of education
What is the purpose of learning? Education means many things to many different people, and the only definitive answer to the question of its purpose seems to be an ambiguous one: it depends — on cultural and historical contexts, social and political factors, philosophical views, educational theories, individual preferences, and disciplines (STEM or the humanities, for example). Even linguistically, education is synonymous with a range of related notions — teaching, schooling, training, development, coaching, improvement, instruction — that differ in subtle ways.
In Classical Athens, for example, elementary education included the paidotribēs (athletics and fitness), the kitharistēs (music and lyric poetry), and the grammatistēs (reading, writing, and arithmetic), whereas mediaeval grammar schools combined Classical learning with a decidedly Christian dimension. Based on the ideas of Alexander von Humboldt, the eighteenth-century German notion of education (Bildung) emphasised lifelong selfdevelopment in contrast to skills training (Ausbildung).
Closer to our own time, education is no longer the privileged domain of the wealthy, no longer available only to (young) men, and no longer primarily associated with religion, but many challenges nevertheless remain in terms of aims, rationales, and accessibility, especially when we add the digital classroom and tech-enhanced learning into the mix. And yet, despite the challenges, education will continue to serve as a cornerstone for skilling and reskilling, empowering individuals and societies to navigate the complexities of our rapidly changing world.
AI-powered learning in our post-COVID era, for example, underscores the complex intersection of education and technology, one that necessarily presents both challenges and opportunities for students, educators, and policymakers. In the following article, we’ll explore how emerging technologies, particularly the confluence of edtech and AI, are already re-shaping the future of learning, and, along the way, highlight a number of innovative European edtech startups taking the lead on the use of technology to enhance and support education.

TEXTO PARA A QUESTÃO
Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Language Learning
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an increasingly influential tool in language education. Digital platforms powered by AI can instantly provide personalized feedback, adapt learning paths according to students' performance, and offer opportunities for authentic interaction through virtual assistants and conversational chatbots. Such innovations have expanded access to language learning beyond the classroom and have encouraged greater learner autonomy.
However, educational researchers emphasize that technological innovation alone does not guarantee meaningful learning. They argue that language acquisition remains fundamentally a social process, requiring interaction, negotiation of meaning, collaboration, and critical reflection. Therefore, AI should not replace teachers but rather complement pedagogical practices, allowing educators to dedicate more time to mediating learning, fostering intercultural awareness, and promoting communicative competence.
Furthermore, concerns have emerged regarding algorithmic bias, data privacy, and the reliability of automatically generated content. For this reason, schools are increasingly expected to develop students' digital literacy so that they can critically evaluate online information, recognize the limitations of artificial intelligence, and use technological resources ethically and responsibly.
In this context, effective language teaching involves balancing technological innovation with human interaction, ensuring that digital resources enhance—not replace—the educational relationship established between teachers and learners.
