The Role of Materials in ESP
In the ESP context, the use of authentic materials is not an end in itself, but a means to an end. Such materials are selected because they provide the 'carrier content'—the technical or professional information - through which the 'real content' (the target language structures and skills) is practiced. According to Dudley-Evans and St John, the authenticity of the task is often more important than the authenticity of the text itself. By using a technical manual in an 'Agroecology' course, the instructor ensures that the classroom environment mirrors the communicative demands of the students' future professional lives."
DUDLEY-EVANS, T.; ST JOHN, M. J. Developments in English for Specific Purposes: a multi-disciplinary approach. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1998. p. 115.
A teacher selects a technical manual for an
"Agroecology" course. According to the framework
established by Dudley-Evans and St John (1998),
the primary justification for this choice is that:

TEXT I
“Through the Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) Data Collection, the FBI provides data
and training that helps keep law enforcement officers safe as they protect the nation’s communities. The goal
is to provide relevant, high quality, potentially lifesaving information to law enforcement agencies focusing on
why an incident occurred, as opposed to what occurred during the incident, with the hope of preventing future
incidents. The data collected is analyzed by the LEOKA team and the results are incorporated into the officer
safety awareness training the FBI provides for partner agencies.
LEOKA’S Three-Tier Approach
LEOKA has a three-tier approach in order to fulfill its mission and promote officer safety awareness to the law
enforcement community nationwide:
▪ Data collection: Data on line-of-duty deaths and assaults are collected from participating agencies
across the country through the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, and the recent
expansion of the data collection methods are providing even more facts that can be studied by experts
and officer safety trainers in order to tailor training to real world circumstances. The data are also
published annually in the Bureau’s Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted report.
▪ Research: Over the years, researchers led by the LEOKA Data Collection have been conducting indepth research using UCR data collected regarding incidents in which officers are killed or assaulted.
The published research gives officers a sharper understanding of what types of scenarios and
circumstances have resulted in fatalities and assaults. These articles and publications also contain
information obtained through extensive interviews with officers and offenders involved in critical
incidents to develop lessons learned, trends and curriculum development for the FBI’s Officer Safety
Awareness Training (OSAT).
▪ Training: The objective of the Bureau’s OSAT, which has been provided to thousands of our law
enforcement partners in the U.S. and abroad, is to assist law enforcement managers, trainers, and
personnel with identifying issues and circumstances that may contribute to officer deaths and assaults
and help prevent them. Data has shown an increase in ambushes on our nation’s law enforcement
officers. As a result, LEOKA trainers are studying the data with the purpose of shaping future training
to help reverse this trend with information and education.
LEOKA Criteria
The data collected under the auspices of the LEOKA Data Collection involves law enforcement officers who
meet a certain set of criteria established by the FBI.
General Criteria
The publishable data pertains to felonious deaths, accidental deaths, and assaults of duly sworn city, university
and college, county, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement officers who, at the time of the incident, met the
following criteria:
▪ Wore/carried a badge (ordinarily)
▪ Carried a firearm (ordinarily)
▪ Were duly sworn and had full arrest powers
▪ Were members of a law enforcement agency
▪ Were acting in an official capacity, whether on or off duty, at the time of the incident
▪ If killed, the deaths were directly related to the injuries received during the incidentes.”

Scientists Reveal Simple Trick To Make You Seem More Persuasive
One simple trick can make you seem more persuasive when you're talking to people.
This is the discovery of University of British Columbia (UBC), University of Pennsylvania and University
of Southern California (USC) researchers, who have revealed that while words are important, talking with
your hands could hold more power.
In fact, "purposeful" hand gestures-and one type in particular-can make you appear both more
convincing and competent.
Building on previous research exploring speech patterns and facial expressions, this is the "first" study to
examine hand gestures at scale, according to the team.
Audiences can interpret illustrative gestures as a sign of mastery, explains paper author and information
systems researcher professor Mi Zhou of UBC.
"If a person uses their hands to visually illustrate what they're talking about, the audience perceives that
this person has more knowledge and can make things easier to understand," Zhou said in a statement.

Growing Up With A.I.: A Multimedia Challenge for Teenagers and Educators
Show us - in words or images, audio or video - how this technology is affecting you and the teenagers
you know. Contest dates: Sept. 10-Oct. 22, 2025.
What's it like to think, create, teach and learn at a time when artificial intelligence is transforming our
world?
What do you think its rise will mean for the generation in high school now?
This fall, we invite students and educators to explore these questions, and then show - in words or
images, audio or video - how this technology is affecting you and the teenagers you know.
We know we don't have to explain to anyone in a classroom today just how profoundly generative A.I.
has changed life in and out of school since ChatGPT was released in late 2022. Our goal, instead, is to
learn from you, our core audience of middle and secondary students and teachers.
What is it like to grow up alongside A.I.? How, if at all, have you used it? What about it is surprising,.
interesting or exciting? What is concerning, perplexing, scary - or even boring? What do you wish more
people understood? What can you show or tell from your unique point of view that might add nuance to
the conversation?
We can't wait to see what you'll make. Click on the topic headings below for more resources and details,
and review the full rules here. You might also consider hanging this one-page announcement on your
class bulletin board.
Questions? Post a comment here or write to us at [email protected].
(...)
The Challenge
This contest asks you to address one or both of these focus questions:
• What's it like to think, create, teach and learn at a time when artificial intelligence is transforming our
world?
• What do you think its rise will mean for the generation in high school now?
How you address them is up to you. You can take on any aspect of the topic, big or small, negative or
positive. You can focus on your life in or out of school, and you can work alone or with others.

To support reading in Portuguese-speaking contexts, a
teacher explores cognates and false cognates with students.
Analyze the statements.
I. A clear cognate pair guarantees identical meaning, so context checking becomes a minor step in reading.
II. Recognizing cognates can speed up global understanding, especially when combined with context and genre cues that confirm the intended sense.
III. False cognates can be handled by attending to collocations and typical patterns that differ between English and Portuguese in how words combine.
IV. A strategic move in reading is to treat a suspected cognate as a hypothesis and verify it against modifiers, examples or contrast cues nearby.
V. Early reading tasks should avoid cognates because learners tend to treat most cognates as false friends over time.

In classroom writing, linkers shape how readers
connect ideas across sentences. Analyze the statements.

II. However commonly signals contrast and, when placed at the start of a clause, it is typically followed by a comma in standard writing.
III. Because tends to introduce reasons, while so tends to introduce results, and swapping them can shift the direction of cause and effect.
IV. Replacing a contrast linker with an addition linker keeps meaning stable when both clauses share the same topic.
V. Cohesion is achieved mainly by increasing the number of linkers, because more connectors reduce ambiguity in any paragraph.

Structural and pedagogical problems
hinder the use of technology
Three out of four teachers in Brazil show support for the use
of artificial intelligence (AI) as a teaching tool. They also say that
the technology has impacted education both positively, with faster
access to information, and negatively, as students lose their focus.
The data can be found in an unprecedented survey by Semesp
Institute, an organization that represents higher education
providers. The study was carried out between March 18 and 31
with 444 public and private school teachers from kindergarten to
high school located in all regions of Brazil.
In the study, 74.8 percent of respondents partially or totally
agree with the use of artificial intelligence in teaching. Despite this,
just over a third (39.2%) of them said they always use it as a
teaching tool.
Even though educators believe it is important to use AI, they
also report structural and pedagogical problems that prevent or
hinder its employment. Further issues were reported in
connection with its excessive use, especially by pupils. Among
these problems are the lack of internet at school, the lack of
training for teachers and also greater difficulty in holding students’
attention.
“I sense students have become more dependent on research
tools and immediate answers and have a hard time having
resilience and patience and acting as problem solvers,” an
anonymous teacher who took part in the survey said.
Another one said: “Technology has advanced, but sometimes
access to it at school is not satisfactory. Poor internet connection.
The computer lab is a restricted space. No Microsoft Office in the
mobile lab. The use of cell phones is impractical as students have
no internet. Now, even the internet is restricted to teachers.”
Just under half of the teachers (45.7%) declared that both
teachers and students have access to computers and the internet
where they teach. Another seven percent answered there is still
no access to technology in their schools.
Teachers also report that technology has made students lose
their focus. “The school can’t keep up with the use of new technologies at the speed that the students can, which leads to a
mismatch between the lesson taught and the lesson that the
students want. The unbridled use of social media and the high level
of exposure of young people to these networks have undermined
teachers’ contact with students,” one of the teachers stated.

just over a third (39.2%) of them said they always use it as a
teaching tool.
Even though educators believe it is important to use AI, they
also report structural and pedagogical problems that prevent or
hinder its employment. Further issues were reported in
connection with its excessive use, especially by pupils. Among
these problems are the lack of internet at school, the lack of
training for teachers and also greater difficulty in holding students’
attention.
“I sense students have become more dependent on research
tools and immediate answers and have a hard time having
resilience and patience and acting as problem solvers,” an
anonymous teacher who took part in the survey said.
Another one said: “Technology has advanced, but sometimes
access to it at school is not satisfactory. Poor internet connection.
The computer lab is a restricted space. No Microsoft Office in the
mobile lab. The use of cell phones is impractical as students have
no internet. Now, even the internet is restricted to teachers.”
Just under half of the teachers (45.7%) declared that both
teachers and students have access to computers and the internet
where they teach. Another seven percent answered there is still
no access to technology in their schools.
Teachers also report that technology has made students lose
their focus. “The school can’t keep up with the use of new technologies at the speed that the students can, which leads to a
mismatch between the lesson taught and the lesson that the
students want. The unbridled use of social media and the high level
of exposure of young people to these networks have undermined
teachers’ contact with students,” one of the teachers stated.
