Read the excerpts written by John Robert Schmitz, from
the Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP),
São Paulo, taken from his article entitled “To ELF or not
to ELF? (English as a Lingua Franca): That is the question
for Applied Linguistics in a globalized world”:
The realization that there are today more nonnative
speakers than native speakers of English in the world
with institutionalized and nativized varieties as well as
their own specific communicative, cultural and
pragmatic competencies has led to the rethinking of
present-day practices in teaching, teacher preparation,
and the writing of textbooks. Jenkins' publications
(2000, 2003) dealing with the phonology of English and
material for teaching English as an international
language along with her book English as a Lingua Franca
(ELF) (2007) call for the disengagement of the language
from Anglo-American native speaker norms. This line of
research presents serious questions for Applied
Linguistics (AL) and English Language Teaching (ELT)
that will, if implemented, entail major changes in that
endeavor. The winds of change may indeed be
beneficial for some and a threat to others. I argue in this
paper for an open mindset with respect to the issues
and to the new state of affairs in this globalized world
today. [...] The appearance of Lingua Franca English has
contributed to rethinking the role of language
assessment and testing (ELDER; DAVIES, 2006) along
with reasoned debate (TAYLOR, 2006) with Jenkins
(2006a, 2006b). In addition, the field of Second
Language Acquisition has also been questioned (FIRTH,
1990, 1996), FIRTH; WAGNER, [1997] 2007) with regard
to its dependence on native speaker standards as the
measuring rod that determines successful learning.
Finally, House (2003, p. 575) calls for continuing
research on ELF in Europe and elsewhere, but
concludes that it is "(...) not, for the present time, a
threat to multilingualism".

Read the excerpt below, taken from the official
English Language Curriculum Guidelines for Elementary
Education (1st to 9th grade) of the municipality of
Bombinhas:
“In this context, English is no longer treated as a foreign language, but as a lingua franca of global communication, used by speakers worldwide with different linguistic and cultural repertoires.”
(Bombinhas, 2024, p. 188. Diretrizes Curriculares da Educação Básica da Rede Municipal de Ensino de Bombinhas.)
Based on this excerpt and on contemporary principles of English Language Teaching, choose the correct alternative.

Modal verbs are a special group of auxiliary verbs that
express functions like ability, permission, obligation, and
possibility. Regarding this topic, mark T (True) or F
(False) for each statement:
(__)Modal verbs are always followed by the base form of the main verb (without "to"), and they do not change their form according to the subject.
(__)The modal verb "must" can be used to express a strong obligation or a logical deduction based on certain evidence in the present.
(__)"Should" is the most appropriate modal verb to ask for a formal permission in a professional environment, replacing the use of "can" or "may."
(__)The negative form of "can" in the past tense is "could not" or "couldn't," which can indicate both a lack of ability or a lack of permission in the past.
After analyzing the statements, choose the alternative that presents the CORRECT sequence, from top to bottom:

Verb tenses in English indicate not only the time of an
action but also its aspect, showing whether it is a
completed fact or a continuous process. Analyze the
following statements:
I.The Present Perfect is used to describe actions that happened at an unspecified time in the past or that have a connection with the present moment.
II.The Future with "going to" is typically used for spontaneous decisions made at the exact moment of speaking, without any prior plan or evidence.
III.The Past Continuous is used to describe an action that was in progress at a specific time in the past, often interrupted by another event.

The development of language competencies assumes
the integration of the four basic skills (listening, speaking,
reading, and writing) in meaningful contexts of language
use. Analyze the following statements:
I.The development of critical reading skills involves the student's ability to identify biases, the author's intentions, and the socio-historical context of the text.
II. Written production should be approached as a process-oriented activity, involving stages such as planning, drafting, revising, and rewriting according to the proposed text genre.
III. Listening is a passive process of phonetic decoding that does not require the use of prior knowledge or inferencing by the learner.

The English verbal system is divided into regular and
irregular verbs, based on how they form the past simple
and the past participle. Regarding this topic, mark T
(True) or F (False) for each statement:
(__)Regular verbs form their past tense by adding the suffix "-ed" to the base form, following specific spelling rules for verbs ending in "-y" or consonant-vowel-consonant.
(__)Irregular verbs follow a predictable pattern of vowel mutation, allowing the speaker to determine the past form of any unknown verb by analogy with the verb "to go."
(__)Some irregular verbs have the same form for the infinitive, the simple past, and the past participle, such as the verbs "put," "cut," and "set."
(__)The past tense of the verb "to read" is spelled differently from the present tense to indicate the change in pronunciation from /ri:d/ to /red/ in formal registers.

Sentence structure in English follows a predominant
Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) order, but can be modified for
emphasis or to establish textual cohesion. Analyze the
following statements:
I.In questions, the auxiliary verb (do, does, did, have) or a modal verb must generally be placed before the subject, except when the "wh-word" is the subject itself.
II.Connectors such as "however" and "nevertheless" are used to introduce a result that logically follows from the previous sentence, acting as synonyms for "so."
III.The position of adverbs of frequency, such as "always" or "never," is typically before the main verb but after the verb "to be" in simple tenses.

How do we measure attention?
Attention, broadly defined, is the ability to direct the
mind on a specific task, says Gloria Mark, author of Attention
Span: A Groundbreaking Way to Restore Balance, Happiness
and Productivity. There are two main types of attention, Mark
explains. Involuntary attention is automatic—it’s what allows us
to react to a loud noise or a jarringly bright light. Focalized
attention, by contrast, is the ability to concentrate on a specific
task. This latter type is what scientists measure when
researching attention spans.
Since the early 2000s, Mark has tracked focalized
attention by observing how long people remain on a task
before switching to something else—such as checking email
or opening a new browser tab. At first, Mark used in-person
observations— researchers shadowed employees throughout
the office. In recent years, she has tracked attention spans
using software that monitors people’s computers.
“Data from our first study, in 2003, revealed that people
spent an average of 2.5 minutes on something before turning
their attention to a different task,” she says, “Our most recent
study done over the past five years shows that the figure has
gone down to 40 seconds.” The measure doesn’t capture how
long people can focus under ideal conditions, Mark notes,
meaning shorter attention spans don’t reflect a permanent loss
of attention capacity, but changes in how often people break
their focus in daily life.
