Q3711023 Inglês
It is impossible to talk about the single story without talking about power. There is a word, an Igbo word, that I think about whenever I think about the power structures of the world, and it is nkali. It’s a noun that loosely translates to “to be greater than another.” Like our economic and political worlds, stories too are defined by the principle of nkali: How they are told, who tells them, when they’re told, how many stories are told, are really dependent on power. Power is the ability not just to tell the story of another person, but to make it the definitive story of that person.

Stories matter. Many stories matter. Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign, but stories can also be used to empower and to humanize. Stories can break the dignity of a people, but stories can also repair that broken dignity.

When we reject the single story, when we realize that there is never a single story about any place, we regain a kind of paradise.

O Google lançou esta semana uma coleção com experimentos de inteligência artificial — desenvolvida com o modelo Gemini. Cada um dos experimentos da chamada Little Language Lessons, que ainda é uma exploração inicial, aborda uma maneira diferente pela qual a inteligência artificial pode apoiar a aprendizagem no mundo real.


O primeiro é o Tiny Lesson. Com ele, o usuário descreve uma situação, por exemplo “pedir informações” ou “encontrar um passaporte perdido”, e recebe vocabulário, frases e dicas gramaticais úteis, adaptados a esse contexto.


O segundo é o Slang Hang, que gera conversas autênticas para ajudar o usuário a aprender expressões e gírias. A pessoa pode acompanhar o desenrolar de um diálogo entre falantes nativos, revelando uma mensagem de cada vez e desvendando termos desconhecidos à medida que aparecem.


 “Um dos aspectos mais interessantes deste experimento é o elemento da narrativa emergente. Cada cena é única e gerada na hora — pode ser um vendedor ambulante conversando com um cliente, dois colegas de trabalho se encontrando no metrô ou até mesmo um casal de amigos há muito perdidos se reencontrando inesperadamente em uma exposição de animais de estimação exóticos”, pontuou Wade, acrescentando que pode haver erros de precisão. “Ocasionalmente, ele usa incorretamente certas expressões e gírias, ou até mesmo as inventa. Os Large Language Models (LLM) ainda não são perfeitos e, por isso, é importante fazer referências cruzadas com fontes confiáveis”.

Q3711018 Inglês
Garcia (2009) é quem expande o conceito de translinguagem, que parte de uma visão heteroglóssica, em que o sujeito possui um único repertório linguístico e suas práticas linguísticas e dinâmicas semióticas são superiores às línguas convencionais de países e estados. Liberali (2013) defende esta perspectiva e enfatiza a necessidade de termos que considerar o currículo da educação multi/bilíngue a partir das atividades e práticas sociais e permitir aos alunos expandirem seu repertório e suas formas de participação. A educação bilíngue consiste em um programa educacional formal que se faz presente pelo aprendizado de componentes curriculares pela instrução em duas línguas e não manter o foco apenas no aprendizado da língua. Aqui no Brasil, podemos distinguir a educação bilíngue em dois grandes grupos: dominante (educação bilíngue de línguas de prestígio, frequentemente de escolas particulares de elite em que se objetiva o aprendizado de uma segunda língua, como o inglês) e minoritários (educação indígena, migrantes de crise, educação em regiões de fronteiras, educação de surdos).

Q3711013 Inglês

In a high school EFL 50-minute lesson, the teacher selects a short authentic news article on climate change to introduce some reading strategies. The teacher begins by activating students’ background knowledge through a quick discussion in English about environmental issues. Then, she explains two key reading strategies — skimming and scanning — using visual aids and simple English definitions.


Students are first asked to skim the text in pairs to get the main idea, take some notes, and discuss the overall topic. Then, they scan the article to answer questions such as “What year was the article published?” or “Which countries are mentioned?”. The teacher monitors the group work, encouraging students to interact in English and supporting them when needed. Afterwards, the class discusses the purpose of each strategy and how they help understand texts more efficiently.

Based on the description of the lesson plan, which procedure corresponds to the warm-up stage?

Gaia Pope: Family appeals for art in memory of teenager


The family of teenager Gaia Pope are appealing for people to create and donate artwork to honour her memory a year after her death.

The 19-year-old was reported missing from Swanage on 7 November. Her body was found 11 days later near the Dorset coast path.

Her family said as the anniversary of her disappearance approached they were "asking people to make something to show she is not forgotten".

The artwork will be displayed online.

Miss Pope, from Langton Matravers, near Swanage, made an allegation she was raped two years before her death.

Her family claimed an alleged failed police investigation "severely affected Gaia's mental and physical state".

Art, particularly pyrography (woodburning), became a form of therapy for the teenager, her family said.

Her mother Natasha Pope said: "I don't speak about my daughter in the past tense - I utter her name as I always have because I know she is still with me, every moment, in all we're doing.

"Gaia's art and poetry, inspired by the beauty of nature and the strength of femininity, is her way of connecting with her true self. In spite of all she's been through she is not defined by that.

"Our Gaia would want to provide a forum for others to find their voice and create."

Miss Pope's cousin Marienna Pope-Weidemann added: "Some things are so big, run so deep, they can only be expressed through art. Our love and our grief for Gaia feels that way.

"The love we've felt from the community felt that way too. We want to honour that, make it visible, maybe do something to show other survivors, families who's lost someone too soon, that they are not alone."

The family said the project was inspired by the #JusticeForLB social media campaign and want people to share their art on Twitter via #JusticeForGaia.

The #JusticeForLB campaign was set up by Dr Sara Ryan - the mother of 18-year-old Connor Sparrowhawk, who had epilepsy and drowned in a bath after having a seizure in Oxford.

Dorset Police is being investigated over the way it handled the rape allegation and its response to Miss Pope's disappearance.
