For decades, it seemed that the purpose of our education system was to encourage competition. Schools would award prizes to the most talented student and proudly display their names on bulletin boards. Nowadays, in many institutions, the key word has become "inclusion": no one should be left behind. Resources are channeled into helping the east capable; everyone's work (good or bad) is on the walls; and prize tables are heavily loaded with awards to make sure everyone is awarded a prize for something. Which approach is right?

Attempts to make education more inclusive are frequently criticized. Many point out that once students leave the protective environment of the classroom, they will face the challenges of the working world: what use will false reassurance be then? The purpose of school must be to reveal to people their limitations, so that they can find a vocation that suits them.

In the past, allowing the talented to rise to the top through competition would certainly have been important. In most factories, it was useful to separate the potential managers from the unskilled workforce, and companies relied on finding talented individuals to win business before their competitors did. An ethos of competition also helped countries to compete effectively with other nations as they scrambled for territory, raced to accumulate armaments or even traveled into space ahead of rivals.

But in the 21st century, are we really preparing young people for a world of competition? The academic James F. Moore argues that the days when businesses competed with each other are ending. Moore believes we should talk of "business ecosystems" nowadays. International corporations operate in global networks of suppliers and partners. Sometimes; even rival corporations work together. For example: companies often have to collaborate to define common industry standards.

What's more, hierarchies are disappearing within organizations. Modern companies have a wider range of business functions (public relations, IT, research and development), and so skills. Knowledge and decision-making are spread throughout the organization. In a modern marketing department alone, there are teams for collecting and analyzing a wealth of customer data, designing brands, advertising, etc. Each individual contributes vital skills and must receive equal training. Low-skilled work, by comparison, is increasingly being performed by automated labor; that is, robots.

But it isn't just in businesses that cooperation is becoming the norm. In the past, individuals, colleges, governments, and companies didn't have to collaborate. Now', 'collective impact" is becoming the gold standard. For example, an anti-obesity project called "Shape Up Somerville" managed to significantly bring down the average BMI (body mass index) in the town in just three years, by involving schools, colleges, local businesses, charities, government, and local citizens in a program of collective action. Led by academics, and funded by four agencies. The work involved designing school lunch menus, improving walkways, introducing gym membership packages, and running campaigns amongst the public.

Competition can still be useful. It's stimulating and can help us learn about ourselves. But it should not become a dominant feature of education systems. Those who do not receive investment will find it increasingly hard to fit into the modern world. It really is learning to take part that counts.

  Rising sea levels could severely disrupt crude oil shipments and erode energy security in import-dependent countries like China, South Korea and Japan, with many of the world’s biggest terminals vulnerable to flooding, researchers said on Tuesday.

   Melting ice and swelling seas caused by rising temperatures could “unleash unstoppable multi-metre sea level rise which will not only sink key oil ports and disrupt global oil trade but also swamp coastal refineries and petrochemical facilities”, the China Water Risk (CWR) think tank warned in a report.

  A 2021 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimated that on current trends, average sea levels could rise by more than a metre by the end of the century, adding that a two-metre rise could not be ruled out.

What are human rights?


    Human rights are rights we have simply because we exist as human beings – they are not granted by any state. These universal rights are inherent to us all, regardless of nationality, sex, national or ethnic origin, color, religion, language, or any other status. They range from the most fundamental – the right to life – to those that make life worth living, such as the rights to food, education, work, health, and liberty.

A High School English teacher prepared an activity in order to engage students in critical reflection on the impact of social media on teenager’s lives and promote responsible digital citizenship. Initially, the teacher introduced the concept of responsible digital citizenship, stressing the importance of understanding both the positive and negative aspects of social media use. Then, students were divided into small groups and assigned specific aspects of social media impact to research, such as cyberbullying, body image and privacy concerns. Their task was to create presentations to share their findings with other groups, employing creative visual tools like infographics and incorporating real-life examples to reinforce their arguments.

Based on this case study, we can state that the approach used is communicative because the teacher

Scenario I: In an Elementary School, we observed a dialogue between the teacher (T) and his students (Ss):
T: Hello, class!
Ss: Hi, teacher.
T: Today, I am going to introduce a new verb tense to you: the simple past. The simple past tense is used to describe actions or events that happened in the past. For example, If I say, “I walked to school yesterday,” what tense am I using?
(The teacher writes the sentences on the blackboard)
Ss: It is easy. It is simple past.
T: Ok, very good. What happened to the verb in the sentence?
Ss: You added “-ed.”
(The teacher underlines “-ed” in a different color)
T: Great. So, to change from the present tense to the past tense, with regular verbs, we simply add “-ed” to the verb. If the verb ends in “-y” preceded by a consonant, we drop the “-e” and add “-ied”, ok? Now let’s practice. Change the verbs below from present to past tense.
Scenario II: An English teacher (T) introduces the simple past tense to a group of 7th-grade students (Ss, S1, S2).
T: Hello, class!
Ss: Hello, teacher.
T: What day is today?
Ss: It is Monday.
T: Excellent. So, can you tell me what you did yesterday?
S1: I watch a movie on TV.
T: You watched a movie on TV, how nice.
S2: I played soccer with my friends.
T: Great. Now let’s practice. Sit in pairs and talk to your friend about things you did last week. (The teacher observes their performances and assists them when required).

We can state about scenario I and scenario II, respectively, that

West Side Story is a contemporary film inspired in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The central theme of forbidden love between young lovers from opposing groups portrays the destructive nature of prejudice and hatred, leading to tragic outcomes. The lovers, Romeo and Juliet, and Tony and Maria, face immense societal pressures and personal sacrifices. Ultimately, both narratives highlight the senselessness of violence and the enduring power of love amidst conflict.

A teacher presents to her High School students the film West Side Story, and then associates it with the play Romeo and Juliet to conduct a thematic comparative analysis; by doing this, she

As perspectivas psicológicas e socioemocionais da autonomia baseiam-se na compreensão dos processos internos, emoções e comportamentos que influenciam a capacidade de um indivíduo assumir o controle de sua aprendizagem. Ao integrar tais perspectivas em suas práticas, os professores podem obter uma compreensão holística dos fatores internos e externos que influenciam a autonomia dos alunos e adaptar intervenções para apoiá-los no desenvolvimento de uma maior autonomia nos seus percursos de aprendizagem.

The belief that students don’t learn English effectively in public schools can have a great impact on the emotions, beliefs, and professional identity of Brazilian English teachers. This belief may stem from a variety of factors, such as limited resources, large class sizes, and inadequate language proficiency among students. As a result, teachers may experience a range of emotions, including frustration, disappointment, and a sense of helplessness in their efforts to facilitate language learning in such environments. Emotions influence beliefs and vice-versa. Understanding this relationship is necessary to offer a more supportive environment to help teachers to re-signify their beliefs and emotions. Numerous studies have shown that emotions are also interconnected with various other concepts, including identities and motivations.

TEXT 1
Critical literacy refers to the ability to actively and critically engage with texts, media, and information in order to understand, question, and analyze underlying power structures, ideologies, and assumptions. It goes beyond basic reading comprehension to involve a deeper examination of the social, political, and cultural contexts in which texts are produced and interpreted.

TEXT 2
The earliest accounts describe The Handmaid’s Tale (by Margaret Atwood) as a feminist dystopia: (a) it contrasts the present with an envisioned idealized society (separated from the present by time or space); (b) it offers a comprehensive critique of present values/conditions; (c) it sees men or male institutions as a major cause of present social ills; (d) it presents women not only as at least the equals of men but also as the sole arbiters of their reproductive functions.

The quotation also applies to dystopia, except that it deals with a negative society rather than an idealized one. Unlike a negative utopia or anti-utopia, [The Handmaid’s Tale] includes the promise of a return to our norm or to a more desirable state.
LECLAIRE, J. The Handmaid’s Tale: a Feminist Dystopia? In: LACROIX, J. M. et al. The Handmaid’s Tale, roman protéen. Presses universitaires de Rouen et du Havre, p. 85, 1999 (adapted).

Considering the texts, select the alternative that justifies why The Handmaid’s Tale is a viable option for a pedagogical activity involving critical literacy and the thematic of dystopia.

A High School teacher brought to his English class a text about English as a lingua franca. After reading the text and discussing it with the students, he asked them to write a text related to the theme. The students argued that they would have difficulties with linguistic issues to accomplish the task. The teacher told them that there was a technology lab at the school with internet access, so he took the students there and taught them how to use some translation tools available.

Considering this situation, the teacher’s decision to allow students to use electronic translation tools to accomplish the task will

Burgeoning online environments offer completely new opportunities for ethnographic and other forms of qualitative research. Yet there are no clear standards for how we study online texts from an ethnographic perspective. In this article, we identify barriers to the application of traditional qualitative methods online, using the example of a systematic thematic analysis of weight-loss blogs. These barriers include the influence of the technology structuring online content, the fluid nature of online texts such as blogs and the highly connected and public nature of online identities, which may span multiple social media platforms. We discuss some potential approaches to addressing these challenges as preliminary steps toward developing a tool kit suited to ethical, high-quality online modes of ethnographic research.

In a multicultural classroom setting, students from diverse linguistic backgrounds collaborate on a group project discussing global literature. While English is the medium of instruction, students naturally switch between their native languages and English to express complex ideas effectively. The teacher observes this dynamic interchange and encourages students to embrace English as a lingua franca.

Based on this scenario, the approach that best fosters critical reflection and promotes understanding of English as a lingua franca should require the teacher to
