Text 1– The Black Cat (Edgar Allan Poe)
Pluto– this was the cat’s name– was my favorite pet and
playmate. I alone Blank I him, and he attended me wherever I
went about the house. It was even with difficulty that I could
prevent him from following me through the streets.
Our friendship lasted, in this manner, for several years, during which my general temperament and character– through the
instrumentality of the Fiend Intemperance– had (I blush to confess it) experienced a radical alteration for the worse. I Blank II,
day by day, more moody, more irritable, more regardless of the
feelings of others. I suffered myself to use intemperate language
to my wife. At length, I even offered her personal violence. My
pets, of course, were made to feel the change in my disposition.
I not only neglected, but ill-used them. For Pluto, however, I still
retained sufficient regard to restrain me from maltreating him, as
I made no scruple of maltreating the rabbits, the monkey, or even
the dog, when by accident, or through affection, they came in my
way. But my disease grew upon me– for what disease is like
Alcohol!– and at length even Pluto, who was now becoming
old, and consequently somewhat peevish– even Pluto Blank III
to experience the effects of my ill temper.

ELF: English as a lingua franca
The Vienna Oxford International Corpus of English
(VOICE), a collection of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF)
currently under construction, defines lingua franca as an
additionally acquired language system that serves as a
means of communication for speakers from different speech
communities, who use it to communicate with each other but
for whom it is not their native language.
Early findings from the VOICE corpus tentatively identify
a number of features which point to systematic lexicogrammatical differences between native-speaker English and
ELF, for example dropping the third person present tense ‘s’
(e.g. she wear), omitting definite and indefinite articles,
insertion of prepositions (e.g. can we discuss about this
issue). These features are not a threat to comprehension, as
they involve typical errors that most English teachers would
correct and remediate. However, Seidlhofer (2004) points out
that they appear to be generally unproblematic and do not
cause an obstacle to communicative success in ELF.
The work of Jenkins (1996, 2000, 2004, 2005) has also
been very influential in relation to the teaching of pronunciation
for ELF. Her research finds that a number of items common to
most native-speaker varieties of English were not necessary
in successful ELF interactions; for example, the substitution
of voiceless and voiced th with /t/ or /s/ and /d/ or /z/ (e.g.
think became sink or tink, and this became dis or zis). Jenkins
argues that such features occur regularly in ELF interactions
and do not cause intelligibility problems.
Problems may arise in the (perhaps unfair) equation
between a reduced or ‘stripped down’ ELF syllabus and an
impoverished experience of the L2. Indeed, it could be argued
that learners of any language always end up producing less
than the input they are exposed to, and that if that input itself
is deliberately restricted, then even less will be the outcome.

Hanji
Hanji is the name of the handmade paper produced
in ancient Korea from the 1st century BCE. Made from
mulberry trees, its exceptional quality made it a successful
export, and it was widely used not only for writing but also
for interior walls and everyday objects, such as fans and
umbrellas. Hanji, famed throughout Asia for its whiteness,
texture, and strength, is still made today in specialized
Korean workshops.
Initially Korean paper was made using hemp fiber, but
the highest quality hanji was, for many centuries, made only
from the pith of mulberry trees (tak in Korean, Latin:
Broussonetia papyrifera). The toughness of hanji meant that
it was ideally suited for use in printing presses that used
blocks made from magnolia wood, which had been soaked
and boiled in saltwater and then dried for several years
before use. Each block was 24x4x64cm and carried 23 lines
of vertical text on each side. These were then covered in ink
and paper was pressed against them. The resilience of hanji
was especially useful from the 12th century CE when
printing was done using heavier moveable metal type made
of bronze, a Korean invention.
In the Joseon Period (from the 15th century CE), such
was the demand for hanji, that Sejong the Great (r. 1418 -
1450 CE) permitted other plant materials to be used in its
manufacture, especially bamboo. The paper was made in
specialized workshops in the capital and the five provincial
capitals. The hanji which was produced for state use was
supervised by a government agency, the Chonjo-chang.

particularly how sounds function to convey meaning. This involves analyzing the
arrangement and patterns of sounds (phonemes) in a particular language.

Effective listening skills can enhance language learning. Consequently, teaching L2 listening
effectively has become a crucial responsibility for language educators. Anna Chang (In:
RENANDYA & WIDODO, 2016) outlines a theory-driven listening lesson, consisting of three
stages: pre-listening, while-listening and post-listening. Connect each stage with its
purposes, using the following code:
I. Pre-listening II. While-listening III. Post-listening
( ) Verify understanding, clear up any confusion, and consider challenges faced during listening.
( ) Engage in straightforward tasks that require minimal writing or reading.
( ) Complete tasks of various difficulty levels, focusing on different elements of the information.
( ) Define the objectives for listening exercises.
( ) Stimulate relevant prior knowledge and provide language support.
The correct association, from top to bottom, is:

According to Alves (et al., 2020), considering teaching pronunciation in English as a Foreign
Language class, mark T for True statements and F for False ones.
( ) Learners have more difficulty learning sounds that are phonetically closer, because they tend not to perceive them as different.
( ) The goal of learning pronunciation is to teach learners to speak like native speakers.
( ) It is important to highlight specific differences in the vowel systems of the native language and the target language in order to avoid intelligibility problems in communication.
( ) Students need resources to be able to understand speakers with different profiles, as well as to make their speech more intelligible.

False ones.
( ) There are more vowels in the Portuguese language compared to the English language.
( ) Regarding the consonants of the English language, there is phonetic variability depending on the syllabic position occupied by such segments within the word.
( ) The stress is distinctive in both English and Portuguese. In both languages, it can be used to differentiate verbs from nouns, for example.
( ) In the English language, words can be stressed on any syllable, unlike Portuguese, where words are stressed on one of the last three syllables.
