The provided text analyzes a conversation in which the controversial concept of “Climate Change” functions as a keyword and is notably often preceded by the definite article ('the Climate Change'). This signals that speakers are often referring to the concept in general terms, which can heighten its sensitive, abstract, and politicized nature.
In your role as a Technical Specialist in Educational Affairs, advising a research team preparing a publication on an equally controversial, general concept (e.g., 'sustainable development equity' or 'global carbon tax') for an international journal, which directive best integrates Communicative Competence in ELF with the principles of Interculturality when addressing such “keywords”? Adapted from: DEWEY, Martin. English as a lingua franca and globalization: an interconnected perspective. International Journal of Applied Linguistics, v. 17, n. 3, 2007, p. 340.
“This is the typical situation nowadays in all multilingual societies where groups are expected to acquire two powerful languages with no recognition of the existing proficiency in the languages which they already possess. The focus on language rather than on content, on the how rather than on the what as condition for participation, lead to serious injustices, especially as content can be delivered in any language with appropriate infrastructure such as translations or multilingual instruction.”
Which linguistic and curricular policy action should be prioritized to go against the injustice caused by the excessive focus on form/language, ensuring that content remains accessible to all?
Considering this shift, what policy change is most crucial for developing communicative competence within the framework of higher education internationalization?
In your role of supervising the internationalization projects, which combination of the following actions represents the most complete and effective design for meeting the requirements of a meaningful procedural review of internal procedures and increasing the university's feasibility for foreign interaction?
I. Reviewing and ensuring key administrative forms (e.g., student registration, research clearance) and the official institutional website are available in a basic bilingual format (Portuguese/English), thereby implementing a basic component of the language policy.
II. Establishing a formal policy and training program to ensure frontline administrative staff can provide basic bilingual (Portuguese/English) reception and guidance for international researchers and visitors.
III. Creating a dedicated internal committee to periodically analyze the time taken for internal approval processes (e.g., partnership agreements, ethical review) and propose streamlined, international-friendly timelines and procedures.
IV. Limiting all new institutional research collaboration to countries that share the Portuguese language, avoiding the complexity of adapting internal language policy and administrative procedures.
V. Developing highly technical English-only documentation for all internal processes, assuming all international partners are proficient in the language of globalization.
In this case, which strategic action best demonstrates the application of Communicative Competence in an English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) and Interculturality context to resolve the impasse and provide capacity building to the Brazilian team?
Which of the following actions, proposed by the Office of International Relations, COMPROMISES the core mission of inclusivity and mass access central to IaH?
“[…] Brazil faces many challenges to learn foreign languages, be them the language of their parents (heritage languages such as Guarani and other indigenous languages or immigrant languages such as Italian, German, Japanese and Pomeranian, to cite but a few), the language of their neighbors (Spanish), the international language (English) or even appropriations of English such as Brazilian English, whatever that may be. Jenkins proposes the view of English as a multilingual franca as referring to its use in multilingual contexts where most people share the same lingua franca, and in that sense, Finardi proposes that English has the status of an international language, rather than a multilingua franca in Brazil. In a country with more than 200 languages spoken by minorities, the development of multilingualism and the view of English as a multilingua franca in Brazil represent a huge challenge for educational policies and pockets […].”
Considering the theoretical role of ELF (English as a Lingua Franca) and the context described, which statement best describes the essential function that ELF must fulfill to mitigate the national risk of linguistic isolation and strategically facilitate global engagement?
“With the promulgation of the bill 746/2016, converted into law in 2017, that reforms education in Brazil, English was made the only mandatory foreign language in schools, thus threatening the teaching/learning of other foreign languages such as Spanish, French, and Italian. […] Yet, the educational reforms and internationalization agendas are far from reaching consensus among linguists and higher education stakeholders when it comes to the use, teaching and learning of languages for internationalization purposes.”
Considering the need for a critical and sustainable internationalization agenda, which of the following is the most critical implication of making English the sole mandatory foreign language?

Understanding bias in facial recognition technologies
Over the past couple of years, the growing debate around automated facial recognition has reached a boiling point. As developers have continued to swiftly expand the scope of these kinds of technologies into an almost unbounded range of applications, an increasingly strident chorus of critical voices has sounded concerns about the injurious effects of the proliferation of such systems on impacted individuals and communities. Critics argue that the irresponsible design and use of facial detection and recognition technologies (FDRTs) threaten to violate civil liberties, infringe on basic human rights and further entrench structural racism and systemic marginalisation. In addition, they argue that the gradual creep of face surveillance infrastructures into every domain of lived experience may eventually eradicate the modern democratic forms of life that have long provided cherished means to individual flourishing, social solidarity and human self-creation.
Defenders, by contrast, emphasise the gains in public safety, security and efficiency that digitally streamlined capacities for facial identification, identity verification and trait characterisation may bring. These proponents point to potential real-world benefits like the added security of facial recognition enhanced border control, the increased efficacy of missing children or criminal suspect searches that are driven by the application of brute force facial analysis to largescale databases and the many added conveniences of facial verification in the business of everyday life.
Whatever side of the debate on which one lands, it would appear that FDRTs are here to stay.
