Stuart Hall's "Encoding/Decoding" model challenges the linear transmission of media messages, suggesting that audiences actively interpret content based on their cultural backgrounds. In the context of an English class analyzing a news report, analyze the following statements regarding the three hypothetical positions from which decodings of a televisual discourse may be constructed.

I.The "Dominant-Hegemonic Position" occurs when the student takes the connoted meaning full and straight, decoding the message in terms of the reference code in which it has been encoded, accepting the preferred reading.
II.The "Negotiated Position" acknowledges the legitimacy of the hegemonic definitions to make the grand significations, but, at a more restricted, situational level, makes its own ground rules and operates with exceptions to the rule.
III.The "Oppositional Position" occurs when the student understands the preferred reading but rejects it entirely, decoding the message within an alternative frame of reference, often due to political or social disagreements.

Is/Are correct the statement(s):

Text:


"In many language classrooms, reading is still treated as a silent, individual activity whose main goal is to check vocabulary knowledge. However, contemporary views of reading emphasize that it is a social and strategic process. When learners skim a text, they look for its overall message rather than every unknown word. When they scan, they focus on locating specific pieces of information, such as dates or names. Effective teachers design tasks that make these strategies visible: they ask students to predict content from titles and visuals, to discuss their expectations in pairs, and then to compare what they anticipated with what they actually understood. In this way, reading becomes not only a test of comprehension, but also a context for interaction, negotiation of meaning and the development of critical awareness."

When the Classroom Goes Online

Over the past decade, the English classroom has changed more than it had in the previous hundred years. Mobile phones, social networks, artificial intelligence tools and online platforms are now part of students’ daily lives, and the teaching of English can no longer ignore this reality.

However, the use of technology in language education is not a matter of simply replacing books with screens. What truly matters is how these resources are used. A video, a message exchange, a podcast or an online discussion only become educational when they are integrated into meaningful learning situations, connected to students’ experiences and guided by clear pedagogical objectives.

Teachers who understand this shift no longer see themselves as the only source of knowledge. Instead, they act as mediators who help learners build meaning, develop autonomy and reflect on language use in real communicative contexts. This perspective is strongly supported by the principles of the Brazilian National Common Core (BNCC), which emphasizes the social and functional use of language.

In this sense, learning English is not just about memorizing structures or rules. It involves interpreting texts, negotiating meaning, expressing identity and participating in global conversations. When the classroom goes online, it does not lose its educational role — it expands it.

Reading comprehension involves the interaction of cognitive processes. Regarding the "Bottom-up" and "Top-down" processing models in reading, mark T, for true, and F, for false:

(__)The "Bottom-up" model suggests that reading is a linear process of decoding, starting from the smallest units (letters/phonemes) to larger units (words/sentences), implying that comprehension is primarily driven by the text itself rather than the reader's background knowledge.
(__)The "Top-down" model emphasizes the reader's contribution, where background knowledge (schemata) and expectations are used to predict meaning, treating the text as a confirmation of hypotheses rather than just a source of raw data. (__)The "Interactive" model proposes that efficient reading involves a parallel and simultaneous operation of both bottom-up and top-down processes, where a deficit in one level (e.g., poor decoding) can be compensated by reliance on the other (e.g., strong context clues).
(__)In the "Top-down" approach, the explicit teaching of phonics and isolated vocabulary is the primary pedagogical strategy, as understanding the whole requires mastering every individual part first.

After analysis, select the alternative that presents the correct sequence of the items above, from top to bottom:

Sociocultural Elements of English-Speaking Countries

English-speaking countries share the same global language, but each one has unique cultural traditions, values, and social practices.

In the United Kingdom, traditions such as afternoon tea, the monarchy, and historical festivals like Guy Fawkes Night highlight the country’s strong connection to its past.

In the United States, cultural diversity plays an essential role, with influences from Indigenous peoples, immigrants from Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. National celebrations such as Independence Day reflect the importance placed on freedom and citizenship.

Canada is known for its bilingual identity, with English and French as official languages. Canadian culture emphasizes respect for nature, multiculturalism, and winter sports.

Australia values outdoor lifestyles, with activities like surfing and camping. Its culture includes traditions from Indigenous Aboriginal peoples, as well as influences from British colonization.

Although these countries share the English language, their cultural identities are shaped by history, geography, and social values, making each nation unique.

(Adapted from: learnenglish.britishcouncil.org)
Read these sentences and, according to the text, decide if they are true ( T ) or false ( F ).

( ) Afternoon tea is a commonly cultural tradition associated with the United Kingdom.
( ) The United States is described in the text as a country strongly shaped by multicultural influences.

Reading comprehension requires distinguishing between literal information and inferential reasoning based on cohesive ties and reference. Considering the sentence "The heavy rain caused a flood, which destroyed the bridge," judge the statements as True (T) or False (F):
(__) The relative pronoun "which" refers to the entire preceding clause (the fact that rain caused a flood).
(__) It can be inferred that the bridge was destroyed directly by the rain drops, not by the resulting flood.
(__) This structure is an example of a sentential relative clause, providing a comment on the whole situation.
(__) The pronoun "which" could be grammatically replaced by "that" in this specific non-restrictive context.

The genre of "business emails" requires specific pragmatic competence regarding register and move structure. Mark T (True) or F (False) for the statements regarding the linguistic features of this genre.


(__)The use of the passive voice (e.g., "The payment has been processed") is frequently employed to depersonalize the message and mitigate face-threatening acts, focusing on the process rather than the agent.


(__)Business emails must always follow a rigid chronological narrative structure, similar to a literary text, to ensure that the recipient understands the history of the company.


(__)The use of emojis and slang is now considered the standard for all business communication, replacing formal salutations and closings entirely to build rapport.


(__)Nominalization (e.g., "implementation" instead of "implement") is avoided at all costs in business emails because it makes the text too dense and difficult to read for international partners.
