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.

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.

Prepositions can be simple one-word items or complex
multi-word units that function as a single grammatical
entity within a sentence. Regarding the classification and
usage of prepositions, judge the following statements as
True (T) or False (F):
(__) "In spite of" is considered a complex preposition that functions grammatically in the same way as the simple preposition "despite".
(__) "Regarding" and "concerning" are participles that have evolved to function as simple prepositions.
(__) "Because" is a preposition, whereas "because of" acts as a subordinating conjunction introducing a clause.
(__) "Due to" traditionally functions adjectivally (following "be"), while "owing to" functions adverbially, though this distinction is blurring.
The correct sequence, from top to bottom, is:
(__) "In spite of" is considered a complex preposition that functions grammatically in the same way as the simple preposition "despite".

Reading Strategies
Good readers use a variety of reading strategies to understand a text more effectively. Before reading, they often preview the title, images, and subtitles to predict what the text will be about. During reading, they use strategies such as skimming to get the general idea and scanning to locate specific information. They also make inferences by combining clues from the text with their background knowledge. After reading, they summarize the main points to check their understanding. Using these strategies helps readers become more independent and confident learners.
Read the text below:
Listening, speaking, reading and writing are the four fundamental language skills that are often called the “macro skills” and work together to support meaningful communication. Listening allows learners to understand spoken language ............... different contexts, while speaking enables them to express ideas, interact, and participate ............... conversations. Reading helps students develop vocabulary, grammar awareness, and comprehension strategies through contact with written texts. Writing, ............... turn, allows them to organize thoughts, create messages, and communicate ............... a structured way.

O texto seguinte servirá de base para responder às
questão.
Italians
The peak period of Italian immigration to the United
States occurred between 1880 and 1921, when
approximately 4.2 million Italians came to America. The
vast majority of these immigrants, about 80 percent,
hailed from the Mezzogiorno in southern Italy, a region in
the midst of great tumult and hardship. Having only been
officially unified in 1860, political tension between the
government in the north and the rural peasants in the
south increased in the 1870s, when the government
placed an onerous tax on wheat and salt, which were
necessities for southern farmers and fishermen. In the
1880s, disease ravaged both staple and cash crops;
malaria and other epidemics also devastated southern
Italy during this period. Additionally, a series of
earthquakes and the eruptions of Mount Etna and Mount
Vesuvius in the early 1900s destroyed cities and killed
tens of thousands of people.
Conditions in the United States during this era appeared
to be very favorable to many in southern Italy. Wages for
both skilled and unskilled laborers in the industrialized US
could be three times greater than wages for the same
work in the depressed Italian economy. Even illiterate day
laborers could find better paying jobs with better working
conditions in cities like Boston. In the late nineteenth
century, Italian immigrants were often referred to as
"birds of passage"−young men who migrated alone,
earning money to buy land and support their families at
home and eventually returning to Italy. After World War I,
however, immigration patterns changed and more Italian
immigrants began to bring their families over and put
down permanent roots in the region.
Patterns of Settlement
Boston's North End neighborhood became the locus of
Italian settlement in eastern New England. Once the
home of English colonists and revolutionaries like Paul
Revere, Irish and Jewish immigrants settled in the North
End before the wave of Italian immigration in the late
1800s. By the early 20th century, the North End was
densely filled with tenements, in which tens of thousands
of Italians lived. Much of the appeal of the North End for
immigrant groups was its proximity to work opportunities
on the waterfront and in downtown Boston. By 1920, over
50 percent of Italian immigrants in Boston lived in the
North End. Those who could afford more spacious
dwellings moved across the harbor to East Boston, which
by the mid-twentieth century became the city's largest
Italian-American community. Others moved to nearby
suburbs such as Somerville, Revere and Saugus,
especially after World War II. But even as immigrants and
their children moved to these areas, many Italian small
businesses and restaurants remained in the North End, and it is still an important center of Italian culture in New
England.
Workforce Participation
Most Italian immigrants in the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries worked menial, unskilled jobs upon
their arrival in Boston, as day laborers, dockworkers, or
fruit sellers. Others opened shops and small businesses,
and some skilled workers (like tailors) found
higher-paying jobs. In neighborhoods like the North End
and East Boston, immigrants operated Italian restaurants
that attracted a growing clientele from across the city. For
the earlier "birds of passage," though, assimilating into
the wider American culture was not a priority; for more
permanent Italian settlers, cultural obstacles such as the
language barrier and lower levels of education made
upward mobility difficult. Within a few generations,
however, Italian Americans in Boston became better
educated and were able to move into middle-class and
professional occupations, including some of the highest
echelons of business and politics.

In "By the early 20th century, the North End was densely
filled with tenements, in which tens of thousands of
Italians lived," the prepositions by and in establish
temporal and spatial relations fundamental to textual
coherence. Within the framework of English grammar,
what specific semantic roles do these prepositions fulfill?
