The BNCC document (Base Nacional Comum Curricular), implemented in 2017 for the Elementary Education in Brazil, establishes 5 (five) organizing axes that guide the teaching of the English Language component. Considering what the aforementioned document says about these axes, read the statements below, and assign T (True) or F (False) to each statement.

(__)In the Orality axis, the BNCC prioritizes the use of media resources that bring a more standardized variant of the English language, with the aim of avoiding harm to the student's comprehension and learning, prioritizing oral practices without face-to-face contact, in order to avoid exposing students to an accent or slang that might hinder the learning process of a correct variant of English.
(__)With regard to the Writing axis, the BNCC recommends text production practices that involve movements that are sometimes collective, sometimes individual, of planning-production-revision, in which decisions are made and evaluated about the ways of communicating what is desired, keeping in mind aspects such as the objective of the text, the support that will allow its social circulation and its possible readers.
(__)The Intercultural Dimension axis points, among other things, to the importance of problematizing the different roles of the English language itself in the world, its values, its reach, and its effects on relations between different people and peoples, both in contemporary society and from a historical perspective.
(__)The Linguistic Knowledge axis prioritizes the study of the correct form of the English Language as indicated in grammars, which is the appropriate norm established by language scholars, who are the most specialized professionals to indicate how one should speak. Furthermore, this axis recommends studying the language in isolation, to avoid comparisons with the Portuguese Language, for example, or any other languages the student knows other than English.
(__)The Reading axis, in turn, includes, among its guidelines, working with verbal and hybrid genres, mainly enhanced by digital media, as this work makes it possible to experience, in a meaningful and situated way, different modes of reading and different reading goals.

Regarding the Content and Language Integrated Learning approach (CLIL), read the statements below:

I.It is an approach in which a subject and a language are taught simultaneously.

III.With this approach, the student does not dedicate time to simply learning a language, such as a traditional foreign language class, the focus is on the subject matter at hand being taught in the target language.
IV.This approach has the advantage of potentially increasing motivation, because the student is learning about a subject he is interested in, so they are likely to pay attention because they truly want to learn about the subject.
V.This approach is considered successful if a student manages to memorize a list of words or full sentences he can use while speaking to a foreign person. After reading these statements, select the correct alternative:

Biden administration, in its last days, proposes new protections for Arctic Alaska land


texto.jpg (342×204)


Lakes and connecting streams in the northeastern part of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, June 2014.


Four days before President Joe Biden is set to leave office, his administration recommended that about 3 million more acres in Alaska's western Arctic be protected from development and issued a guideline, effective immediately, requiring additional protections for traditional Native subsistence harvests of fish, caribou and other resources.


The new recommendations and guidance, which apply to the 23-million-acre National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, run counter to President-elect Donald Trump's expressed plans to expand oil drilling in the Arctic and elsewhere and to overturn Biden administration environmental policies more broadly. 


The recommendations for additional land to be protected as part of what are termed "special areas" and the guidance for elevating the importance of subsistence and tribal consultation could be ignored or scrapped by the incoming Trump administration.


The northeastern part of the reserve is the area considered most likely to hold oil and where development has spread in recent years. There is already production in that area, and the most notable production expected in the future is from ConocoPhillips' Willow project. Willow won Biden administration approval in 2023. Production is expected to start by the end of the decade and peak at 180,000 barrels per day; current production from all North Slope fields amounts to less than 470,000 barrels per day. 


Like the existing Teshekpuk special area, which holds important habitat for caribou, fish and migratory birds, the village of Nuiqsut is in the general area of the reserve's northeastern corner, where new oil development has occurred. Nuiqsut is so close that oilfield infrastructure can be seen from the village.

Pipelines extend across the landscape outside Nuiqsut, Alaska, May 2019. 


"But at the same time, I think we and our partners have also made it abundantly clear that we're going to keep fighting, and keep fighting for protections in the Western Arctic," she said.
