Technology has always been at the forefront of human
education. From the days of carving figures on rock walls to
today, when most students are equipped with several portable
technological devices at any given time, technology continues
to push educational capabilities to new levels. In looking at
where educational methods and tools have come from to
where they are going in the future, technology’s importance in
the classroom is evident now more than ever.
In the Colonial years, wooden paddles with printed
lessons, called Horn-Books, were used to assist students in
learning verses. Over 200 years later, in 1870, technology
advanced to include the Magic Lantern, a primitive version of
a slide projector that projected images printed on glass plates.
By the time World War I ended, around 8000 lantern slides
were circulating through the Chicago public school system.
By the time the Chalkboard came around in 1890, followed by
the pencil in 1900, it was clear that students were hungry for
more advanced educational tools.
Examples of these are: in the 1920s, radio sparked an
entirely new wave of learning; on-air classes began popping
up for any student within listening range. Next came the
overhead projector in 1930, followed by the ballpoint pen
in 1940 and headphones in 1950. Videotapes arrived on
the scene in 1951, creating a new and exciting method of
instruction.
The pre-computer years were formative in the choices
made for computers in the years following. Immediate
response-type systems (video, calculator, Scantron) had
become necessary, and quick production of teaching
materials, using the photocopier, had become a standard.
Teachers needed new methods of instruction and testing, and
students were looking for new ways to communicate, study,
and learn.
Although the first computers were developed in the
‘30s, everyday use computers were introduced in the ‘80s.
When IBM introduced its first personal computer in 1981, the
educational world knew that it was on the verge of greatness.
The foundation of immediate learning capabilities had been
laid. Time magazine declared, “it is the end result of a
technological revolution that has been in the making for four
decades and is now, quite literally, hitting home.”

The paper reflects on the role of technology in English
language teaching (ELT) methodologies and on the impact
of globalization and internationalization in education in
general and in the ELT in particular. The study is based on
the assumption that access to information and technology
is necessary to build social capital (WARSCHAUER, 2003)
and that this access requires some English knowledge
and digital literacy (FINARDI; PREBIANCA; MOMM,
2013). Departing from a bibliographic review on the use of
ELT methodologies and the role of technologies in these
methodologies, the study proposes that both the resistance to
and the uncritical use of technologies and methodologies may
bring negative consequences to the development of English
language proficiency and social development in Brazil. The
study concludes that in the post-method (BROWN, 2002;
KUMARAVADIVELO, 2003) and information era (LEVY,
1999) technologies have a relevant and crucial role that
should be critically considered in ELT methodologies. The
study also suggests that the informed use of technologies
and methodologies, allied with the teaching of English as
an international language are essential to leverage the
development and the internationalization of education in
Brazil in a critical way in relation to the effects of globalization.

Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is a
dual-focused educational approach in which an additional
language* is used for the learning and teaching of both
content and language. That is, in the teaching and learning
process, there is a focus not only on content, and not only on
language. Each is interwoven, even if the emphasis is greater
on one or the other at a given time. CLIL is not a new form of
language education. It is not a new form of subject education.
It is an innovative fusion of both. CLIL is closely related to and
shares some elements of a range of educational practices.
Some of these practices – such as bilingual education and
immersion – have been in operation for decades in specific
countries and contexts; others, such as content-based
language teaching or English as an Additional Language
(EAL), may share some basic theories and practice but are
not synonymous with CLIL, since there are some fundamental
differences. CLIL is content-driven, and this is where it both
extends the experience of learning a language, and where it
becomes different to existing language-teaching approaches.

or some form of heritage or community language.”

Scientists have found that generally the world feels brighter when you wake up.
People start the day in the best frame of mind in the morning, but end in the worst, at about midnight, the findings suggest, with the day of the week and the season also playing a part.
Mental health also tends to be more varied at weekends but steadier during the week, according to the study led by University College London.
“Generally, things do seem better in the morning,” the researchers concluded.
Mental health and wellbeing are dynamic in nature, and subject to change over short and long periods. However, few studies have looked at how they might change over the course of the day.
Scientists wanted to explore whether time of day was associated with variations in mental health, happiness, life satisfaction, sense of life being worthwhile and loneliness.
People in the study answered questionnaires, with questions such as: “In the past week, how happy did you feel?”, “How satisfied have you been with your life?”, and “To what extent have you felt the things you are doing in your life are worthwhile?”
Factors such as age, health conditions and whether people worked were taken into account.
The results showed that happiness, life satisfaction, and worthwhile ratings were all higher on Mondays and Fridays than on Sundays, while happiness was also higher on Tuesdays. There was no evidence that loneliness differed across days of the week.
There was clear evidence of a seasonal influence on mood. Compared with winter, people tended to have lower levels of depressive and anxiety symptoms and loneliness, and higher levels of happiness, and feeling that life was worthwhile in the three other seasons.
Mental health was best in the summer across all outcomes. But the season didn’t affect the associations observed across the day, however.
This was an observational study, so it cannot establish cause.

The idea of time blindness, or difficulty perceiving and
managing time, has spread across social media. While there is
no diagnosis for it, some people explain that, despite their best
efforts, they frequently lose track of time, underestimate or
overestimate how long tasks will take, show up late, and miss
deadlines.
Time blindness is a psychological phenomenon that nearly
everyone experiences from time to time, said Michael Manos,
at the Cleveland Clinic.
“Who doesn’t get completely occupied with a hobby or a
conversation they’re having with somebody, or some kind of
activity that is so interesting that it occupies attention, and it
takes attention away from other things that might be pressing?”
he said.
Not all experts agree, but some suggest that it could be a
limitation for some people.
Renae Beaumont, an associate professor of psychology in
clinical psychiatry, said time blindness and flow, a state of
intense focus in an activity that is engaging, enjoyable and
temporarily distracts from the passage of time, are different
phenomena.
“Flow is typically associated with positive emotions when
you’re doing something you enjoy, and you are able to shift to
a different task when you need to. Time blindness involves
getting stuck, losing track of time and typically having trouble
transitioning to a different task,” she said.
There is no clear consensus, but some researchers
consider time blindness to be an impairment in temporal
perception, or the way the brain experiences time.
Certain strategies may help people who struggle with time
perception and management, experts said.
Use digital reminders including alarms, timers and
calendars to keep track of appointments, dates and deadlines.

TEXT 2
GRAMMAR
Most English language teachers are probably comfortable
using the word ‘grammar’. There is an established
grammatical tradition within ELT, and terms such as
‘tense’, ‘conditional form’, or ‘defining relative clause’ are
likely to be familiar even to relatively inexperienced
teachers. Grammar is often thought of as something
reliable and predictable, but although the term is a
keyword in the ELT profession, it is somewhat under-examined. A look at the word’s history reveals a perhaps
surprising amount of variation and inconsistency.
The word ‘grammar’ comes originally from Ancient Greek
grammatike (‘pertaining to letters/written language’).
Grammar was one of the ‘liberal arts’ taught in Ancient
Greece, and in Rome from around the fifth century BC,
although at this time it was a wider area of study than
today, including textual and aesthetic criticism and literary
history. Its study continued in Europe in medieval times
and beyond, with grammar being taught at schools
alongside logic and rhetoric in what was known as the
‘trivium’.
The tradition of studying the grammar of English in British
schools did not emerge until the 16th century (Howatt with
Widdowson 2004: 77) — until then, studying grammar at
school meant studying Latin or Ancient Greek, not
vernacular languages. Indeed, the first grammar of
English, Bullokar’s Pamphlet for Grammar (1586), is said
to have been written to demonstrate that the English
language was in fact rule-based and could be analysed in
the same way as Latin (Linn 2006: 74).
Grammar has lost its status as a distinct subject in the
school curriculum but the word has continued (since 1530
according to the Oxford English Dictionary) to be used as
a countable noun meaning ‘a book describing the grammar
of a language’.

TEXT 1
NATIVE-SPEAKERISM
Framing the Issue
Native-speakerism is an ideology that upholdsthe idea that
so-called “native speakers” are the best models and
teachers of English because they represent a “Western
culture” from which spring the ideals both of English and
of the methodology for teaching it (Holliday, 2005, p. 6).
As an ideology, it is a system of ideas that represents a
distorted worldview that supports a particular vested
interest. The vested interest in the case of nativespeakerism is the promotion by the ELT industry of the
so-called “native speaker” brand. The realization that this
is an ideologically constructed brand derives from
Phillipson’s (1992) linguistic imperialism thesis that the
concept of the “native speaker” as a superior model and
teacher was explicitly constructed by American and British aid agencies in the 1960s to support their agenda of
spreading English as a global product.
Further indication that the “native speaker” brand is an
ideological construction is that the native-non-native
speaker distinction is not self-evident on technical
linguistic or even nationality grounds. It is instead a
professionally popularized distinction that has been falsely
associated with cultural orientation (Kubota & Lin, 2006).
Teachers who are labeled “native speakers” have been
falsely idealized as organized and autonomous in fitting
with the common yet mistaken description of so-called
“individualist cultures” of the West; while teachers who
are labeled “non-native speakers” are demonized as
deficient in these attributes in fitting with the common yet
mistaken description of so-called “collectivist cultures” of
the non-West (Holliday, 2005, p. 19, citing Kubota,
Kumaravadivelu, Nayar, and Pennycook). The collectivist
stereotype is itself considered to be a Western construction
of non-Western cultural deficiency. An example of this is
a British teacher’s reference to a superior “native speaker”
“birthright” at the same time as criticizing, albeit without
foundation, not only the linguistic and pedagogic
performance, but also the cultural background and
proficiency of his “non-native speaker” colleagues
(Holliday & Aboshiha, 2009, p. 667).
The Othering of teachers who are labeled “non-native
speakers” therefore results in a cultural disbelief—not
believing in their ability to teach English within a Western,
and indeed superficially constructed “learning group
ideal” that is characterized by “active” oral expression,
initiation, self-direction, and students working in groups
and pairs (Holliday, 2005, p. 44). The association of the
“non-native speaker” label with deficiency is also deeply
rooted within a wider and equally mistaken Western
perception that people from non-Western cultural
backgrounds are unable to be critical and self-determined.

Speakers of different languages have different sounds.
Thus, as there is no equivalent in English for the ‘click’ in
the South African language Xhosa, English speakers find it
difficult to produce. British speakers mangle French vowels
because they are not the same as the English ones. Japanese
speakers, on the other hand, do not have different phonemes
for /l/ and /r/ and so have difficulty differentiating between
them.
Whereas in some languages there seems to be a close
relationship between sounds and spelling, in English this is
often not the case. The sound /ʌ/, for example, can be realized
in a number of different spellings (e.g. won, young, funny,
flood). The letters ou, on the other hand, can be pronounced
in a number of different ways (e.g. enough, through, though,
and even journey). A lot depends on the sounds that come
before or after them, but the fact remains that we spell some
sounds in a variety of different ways, and we have a variety of
different sounds for the same spelling.

One of the major foci of applied linguistics scholarship
has been the foreign or second language classroom. A glance
through the past century or so of language teaching gives us
an interesting picture of varied interpretations of the best way
to teach a foreign language. As schools of thought have come
and gone, so have language teaching trends waxed and
waned in popularity.
Albert Marckwardt (1972) saw these “changing winds and
shifting sands” as a cyclical pattern where a new paradigm
of teaching methodology emerged about every quarter of a
century, with each new method breaking from the old but at
the same time taking with it some of the positive aspects of the
previous paradigm. One of the best examples of the cyclical
nature of methods is seen in the revolutionary Audiolingual
Method (ALM) of the late 1940s and 1950s. The ALM borrowed
principles and beliefs from its predecessor by almost half
a century, the Direct Method, while breaking away entirely
from the Grammar-Translation paradigm. Within a short time,
however, ALM critics were advocating more attention to rules
of language which, to some, smacked a return to Grammar
Translation.

Let’s start by discussing smoking. It continues to be the leading cause of preventable disease and death in many countries. The highest percent of smoking tends to be seen among people with a high school diploma (or not even that!), and the lowest is among those with a bachelor’s degree or higher. Trends in efforts to quit smoking habits also vary by educational level. Adults with only a high school diploma historically have had the lowest rates of quitting smoking compared to adults overall. But these data document the relationship when it is too late: Adults don’t drop out of school, children do.
The field of public health recognizes education is a social determinant of health and an indicator of well-being. National efforts in North America are currently focused on promoting literacy, and increasing high school completion and college enrollment. It is critical to ensure that children have positive learning experiences while they are still young so that they can achieve educational success. This is one of the best ways to ensure that they can live healthier lives as adults.
A human baby’s brain is not fully developed at birth. Rapid brain developments and the acquisition of foundation skills occur in the first few years of life and then steady into childhood and adolescence.

To effectively address the problem, learning environments must include staff who have knowledge about trauma and symptoms of trauma.

Because the culture of any community has many facets and
manifestations, it would be practically impossible to deal with all
of them in the classroom and prepare students for the many
situations that they might encounter in the course of their
functioning in ESL/EFL environments. However, many important
aspects of teaching the second culture can be brought forth and
addressed via classroom instruction, and some of these are
discussed here. The most important long-term benefits of
teaching culture may be to provide learners with the awareness

professional, social, and personal goals and become successful in
their daily functioning in L2 environments.

TEXT 1
LEARNING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE TODAY
Until a few years ago, learning a foreign language took
place largely in the classroom, within an education system.
It usually meant learning grammar rules and vocabulary,
doing written exercises, reading specially written texts and
answering comprehension questions and - possibly -
listening to recorded texts (and answering further
comprehension questions about these, too). A lot of people
learned the language this way; in fact, you may have done
so yourself.
However, some adults who first experienced a foreign
language at school in the past did not have much success
with it. This was often because they could only see the
difficulties, such as the differences between the L1 and the
target language (L2). They often became demotivated and
decided that English was too difficult, that it had no real
use for them, and many of them gave it up as soon as they
could. They joined the large worldwide community of
unsuccessful foreign language learners.
Today, however, because English is so widely available on
the web, and in social media, as well as in many
workplaces, it has become a reality - and even a
requirement - for a great many people. As a result, it is
much easier to see the connection between what is done in
the classroom and the use of the language in the outside
world, and to ensure that the first can be seen to be a
practical preparation for the second.

READ THE TEXT AND ANSWER QUESTION
The importance of assessing the social and economic impacts of
environmental policies
Policymakers face the challenge of supporting both inclusive and
sustainable economic development and a healthy environment.
While the most desirable policy outcome is one that achieves the
greatest environmental benefits while also advancing socioeconomic goals, it is important for policymakers to fully
understand the possible trade-offs between these objectives. A
better understanding of the broader impacts of environmental
policies is crucial to mitigate their adverse effects on competing
goals, especially as countries are faced with the arduous task of
responding to mounting environmental challenges in economically
turbulent times.
Governments are under pressure to scale up and accelerate their
ambition on climate and environmental goals. But in taking such
action forward, they have to carefully navigate a number of
headwinds. These include the long-term impacts of the COVID-19
pandemic on both the economy and society, cost-of-living crisis,
political tensions and geopolitical crises such as the Russian
invasion of Ukraine. Low-income people and the poorest
economies are the hardest hit, primarily due to the steep increases
in the price of energy and food.
The level of environmental policy stringency can have an impact
on a variety of policy outcomes. Empirical research is crucial to
shed light on these interlinkages. Previous research has shown that
more stringent environmental policy has achieved significant
environmental benefits with little aggregate effect on economic
performance. However, localized effects may generate winners

READ THE TEXT AND ANSWER QUESTION
The importance of assessing the social and economic impacts of
environmental policies
Policymakers face the challenge of supporting both inclusive and
sustainable economic development and a healthy environment.
While the most desirable policy outcome is one that achieves the
greatest environmental benefits while also advancing socioeconomic goals, it is important for policymakers to fully
understand the possible trade-offs between these objectives. A
better understanding of the broader impacts of environmental
policies is crucial to mitigate their adverse effects on competing
goals, especially as countries are faced with the arduous task of
responding to mounting environmental challenges in economically
turbulent times.
Governments are under pressure to scale up and accelerate their
ambition on climate and environmental goals. But in taking such
action forward, they have to carefully navigate a number of
headwinds. These include the long-term impacts of the COVID-19
pandemic on both the economy and society, cost-of-living crisis,
political tensions and geopolitical crises such as the Russian
invasion of Ukraine. Low-income people and the poorest
economies are the hardest hit, primarily due to the steep increases
in the price of energy and food.
The level of environmental policy stringency can have an impact
on a variety of policy outcomes. Empirical research is crucial to
shed light on these interlinkages. Previous research has shown that
more stringent environmental policy has achieved significant
environmental benefits with little aggregate effect on economic
performance. However, localized effects may generate winners
and losers, with significant losses for certain sectors, firms or
individuals and benefits for others. Nonetheless, at present, the
empirical evidence on these distributional aspects is still scarce,
despite its crucial role in supporting good policy design. More than
ever, regulators need better tools and insights to assess the
consequences of environmental policies on the economy and on
social outcomes.

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
reports that once water is contaminated, it is difficult, costly,
and often impossible to remove the pollutants. Currently, 80%
of global wastewater goes untreated, and is contaminated by
a wide range of substances, from human waste to highly toxic
industrial discharges. The type and amount of pollutants in
freshwater determines its suitability for human uses such as
drinking, bathing, and agriculture.
Pollution of freshwater ecosystems can also impact the
habitat and quality of life of fish and other wildlife. This can
include pathogens (largely from human and animal waste),
organic matter (including nutrients from agricultural run-off
such as nitrogen or phosphorus), chemical pollution (from
irrigation, domestic wastewater and runoff of mines into
rivers) and salinity. Plastics, and chemicals of emerging
concern, such as certain pharmaceutical products, are issues
for which their extent and impacts on freshwater are largely
unknown. A preliminary assessment of water quality in rivers
in Latin America, Africa and Asia, “A Snapshot of the World’s
Water Quality” (Ringler, et al., 2016), estimated that severe
pathogenic pollution affects around one third of all rivers,
severe organic pollution around one seventh of all rivers, and
severe and moderate salinity pollution around one-tenth of all
rivers in these regions.

ABSTRACT
The impact of streaming services on youth television viewing habits and media literacy
Streaming services have revolutionized the entertainment industry, playing an important role in
attracting young people for movies and television series. The availability of streaming services such
as NetFlix, Amazon, Apple TV and other platforms have drastically reduced traditional television
viewing. Because of the availability of the shows at any time, youth are used to “marathoning”,
resulting in a single session watching complete seasons of different shows in one sitting.
Streaming watching has helped the youth to increase their knowledge about various cultures, beliefs,
and perspectives, which has helped in improving their overall understanding of the world. However,
this has also led to exposure to inappropriate content, resulting in parental monitoring of the content
viewed.
The present research has identified that streaming services have beneficial effects on the media
literacy of the youth. Nevertheless, the exposure to inadequate content needs to be monitored, so
that the beneficial aspects of streaming viewing outweigh the harm it might cause.
