Read the following statements about Michael Byram’s
(1997) Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC)
model.
I - Savoirs (knowledge) is primarily defined as deep declarative knowledge regarding the core cultural values and historical traditions specific to the target-language country, disregarding social groups and processes.
II - Savoir comprendre (skills of interpreting and relating) requires a learner to interpret a document or event from another culture, explain it, and relate it to documents or events from their own culture, without relying on real-time interaction with a target-culture interlocutor.
III - Savoir s’engager (critical cultural awareness) posits that language teachers should remain politically neutral and guide students to evaluate cultural practices using purely subjective, personal moral codes.
IV - The primary distinction between savoir comprendre and savoir apprendre/faire is that the former operates on existing knowledge and documents, whereas the latter involves acquiring new cultural knowledge and operating it in real-time constraints of social interaction.
V - According to Byram, a speaker who possesses high linguistic competence (fluency, native-like accent, advanced syntax) automatically fulfills the prerequisites for Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC).
Which statements are correct?

“Identities can be held together by narratives, in short, without essences: you don’t get to be called ‘English’ because there’s an essence this label follows; you’re English because our rules determine that you are entitled to the label—that you are connected in the right way with a place called England. […] The story of the golden nugget suggests that we can’t help caring about the traditions of ‘the West’ because they are ours: in fact, the opposite is true. They are ours only if we care about them. A culture of liberty, tolerance, and rational inquiry: that would be a good idea. But these values represent choices to make, not tracks laid down by a Western destiny.”
(Adapted from: APPIAH, Kwame Anthony. The lies that bind: rethinking identity. New York: Liveright Publishing Corporation, 2018. p. 151-159)

Considering the theoretical intersections among Critical
Literacy, English as a Lingua Franca (ELF), and Additional
Language (AL) acquisition, analyze the following
propositions.
I - The concept of ELF problematizes the notion of language “ownership”—historically attributed to the native speaker—and decenters Anglo-American standards. From the perspective of Critical Literacy, this entails the teacher problematizing the very erasure of non-hegemonic varieties.
II - Understanding English as an AL implies recognizing that the new language integrates into the student’s plurilingual repertoire in an additive, rather than subtractive, manner. However, for Critical Literacy to occur, pedagogical practice must go beyond the affirmation of identity, equipping the student to unveil how mastery of a global language reproduces or challenges geopolitical and class-based asymmetries.
III - Critical pedagogy applied to ELT presupposes the adoption of a “didactics of tolerance,” in which an exclusive focus on mutual intelligibility suspends the need to reflect on local linguistic norms, thereby legitimizing any discursive output based on the argument of cultural hybridization.
IV - Within the framework of Critical Literacy, pedagogical practice adopting ELF must abandon the teaching of the standard norm or prestige varieties. This is because the focus on social emancipation demands the rejection of any hegemonic linguistic conventions, which are viewed purely as instruments of oppression and linguistic colonization.
V - The connection between AL and Critical Literacy presupposes that the process of meaning-making in a new language is a space of agency and contestation. Thus, classroom language practices must equip the student to “rewrite” and subvert hegemonic discourses, using English not as a code to be imitated, but as a resource for social performativity and the creation of new meanings.

English Language Teaching in Brazil: A Gap in Policy,
Problems in Practice
Only three percent of Brazilians are estimated to speak
English despite the status of this language as a
mandatory subject. This fact relates to a gap in foreign
language teaching policy documents: the National
Education Guidelines and Framework Law (LDB), and
the National Curriculum Parameters (PCN). These
documents for many years did not prescribe the
necessary conditions for English Language Teaching
(ELT) to take place effectively, often focusing on
reading due to a lack of resources or large classes.
LDB mandated the teaching of a foreign language
chosen locally from grades 5 to 12. A recent reform in
2017 has added that English will be the foreign
language taught in secondary school (from grade 6 up)
throughout the country. Previous versions of LDB,
however, did not mandate the teaching of English,
leading to the perception that only in private language
centers could students learn the language.
The effectiveness of ELT in basic education remains
low because policies impact the quality of teacher
education, the availability of pedagogical resources,
and the number of students in the classroom. Most
schools are equipped with basic materials like
blackboards and chairs, but few have audiovisual
equipment installed in every classroom. This reality
shows why many teachers stick to the textbook most of
the time.
Many English teachers in Brazil do not speak the
language fluently because most undergraduate
programs offer a dual major (English and Portuguese).
Often, aspiring teachers enroll because they actually
want to teach Portuguese. Consequently, these
teachers reproduce in their classrooms the approaches
in which they were taught as students, focusing on
grammar-translation rather than modern communicative
methods.
Misconceptions about the language also contribute to a
lack of motivation. Some believe English is only from
England or the USA. To correct this, BNCC (National
Common Curriculum Base) suggests an intercultural
approach to make the study of a foreign language more
socially and culturally relevant. BNCC aims to raise
awareness of the global web in which English is
involved, and it is treating it as a tool for citizenship.

Problems in Practice
Only three percent of Brazilians are estimated to speak
English despite the status of this language as a
mandatory subject. This fact relates to a gap in foreign
language teaching policy documents: the National
Education Guidelines and Framework Law (LDB), and
the National Curriculum Parameters (PCN). These
documents for many years did not prescribe the
necessary conditions for English Language Teaching
(ELT) to take place effectively, often focusing on
reading due to a lack of resources or large classes.
LDB mandated the teaching of a foreign language
chosen locally from grades 5 to 12. A recent reform in
2017 has added that English will be the foreign
language taught in secondary school (from grade 6 up)
throughout the country. Previous versions of LDB,
however, did not mandate the teaching of English,
leading to the perception that only in private language
centers could students learn the language.
The effectiveness of ELT in basic education remains
low because policies impact the quality of teacher
education, the availability of pedagogical resources,
and the number of students in the classroom. Most
schools are equipped with basic materials like
blackboards and chairs, but few have audiovisual
equipment installed in every classroom. This reality
shows why many teachers stick to the textbook most of
the time.
Many English teachers in Brazil do not speak the
language fluently because most undergraduate
programs offer a dual major (English and Portuguese).
Often, aspiring teachers enroll because they actually
want to teach Portuguese. Consequently, these
teachers reproduce in their classrooms the approaches
in which they were taught as students, focusing on
grammar-translation rather than modern communicative
methods.
Misconceptions about the language also contribute to a
lack of motivation. Some believe English is only from
England or the USA. To correct this, BNCC (National
Common Curriculum Base) suggests an intercultural
approach to make the study of a foreign language more
socially and culturally relevant. BNCC aims to raise
awareness of the global web in which English is
involved, and it is treating it as a tool for citizenship.
