A day at work


(1º§)In the morning I attended a meeting between the management and union representatives. The discussion was very comprehensive , covering topics like working hours, days off, retirement age, etc. Both sides were interested in an agreement and ready to compromise. The secretary recorded everything in the notes. Eventually , they decided to set a new meeting to sign the final draft of the agreement.

(2º§)Back at the office, a colleague of mine asked me if I had realized that the proposed agreement would be partially against the company policy not to accept workers that have already retired. I pretended to be really busy and late for an appointment and left for the cafeteria. Actually, I didn´t want to discuss the matter at that particular moment because there were some strangers in the office.

(3º§)After lunch, I attended a lecture given by the mayor, who is an expert in tax legislation and has a graduate degree in political science. He said his government intends to assist welfare programs and senior citizens, raise funds to improve college education and build a public library and establish tougher limits on vehicle emissions because he assumes this is what the people expect from the government.

UK inflation exceeds 10% as bread and milk prices soar

By Mark Thompson, CNN Business
August 17, 2022

(1º§) (CNN Business) Inflation in the United Kingdom hit a new 40-year high last month, rising above 10% for the first time since 1982 and piling further pain on households already struggling to pay their bills.

(2º§) Annual consumer price inflation hit 10.1% in July, according to data published by the Office for National Statistics on Wednesday, up from 9.4% in June. Soaring food prices - up 12.7% since July 2021 - were the largest single contributor to the acceleration in inflation, the ONS said.

(3º§) The headline inflation number was higher than predicted by a Reuters poll of economists, and food inflation is now running at its highest level in 14 years.

(4º§) "All the eleven food and non-alcoholic beverage classes made upward contributions to the change in the annual inflation rate, where prices overall rose this year but fell a year ago," the ONS said.

(5º§) The largest upward contributions came from bread and cereals, and from milk, cheese, and eggs, with notable price increases in cheddar cheese and yoghurts.

(6º§) On a monthly basis, the consumer price index was up 0.6% in July, compared with no change a year ago. Higher gasoline and diesel prices, together with rising airfares, were also to blame, the ONS added.

“Another important characteristic of the [National Curricular] Parameters that should not be overlooked is their emphasis on teacher's autonomy. This emphasis can be seen clearly in the fact that no content or method is imposed upon the teachers.

Foreign Language Teaching in Brazil: interfaces of the CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) approach in remote teaching

(Ana Lúcia Farias da Silva - 01/12/2021)



FINAL CONSIDERATIONS



English Language Teaching, in the modality of remote teaching, with the full use of Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) has advanced and can be efficient with the development of language skills associated with these technological and didactic resources appropriate to each objective in foreign language teaching. However, the teacher should have good planning, carefully reflecting and analyzing the tool that best suited to his/her goal.


Moreover, we postulate as indispensable the teaching of the English Language (EL), as a way of access to universal cultural goods, academic and professional environments of the globalized world, also considering an inclusive formation that leads the student to expand their readings of the world.


Moreover, classes, in real time, help in the cognitive process in relation to playing, dialoguing, in addition to awakening sensitivities such as visual and auditory perceptions, necessary for learning. Despite some flexibility, the use of English contributed to welcoming students in the mother tongue, which did not impair the learning of the proposed contents, on the contrary, it brought the students closer to the teacher-researcher, enabling a better work in language teaching. The results were perceived in the formal evaluations and in the engagement of the students during the classes, corroborating the pedagogical work that goes beyond teaching the contents and also goes through the ability of the educator to welcome and relate to his students.


Despite a pandemic moment, extremely challenging, especially for foreign language teaching, especially English, this research emphasized the need to follow the advancement of digital technologies and transform new challenges into knowledge, to optimize the adaptability of individuals, in view of the emerging educational contexts that have already been configured as a new reality at this time.


It is concluded, therefore, that according to the study presented and the current readings on foreign language teaching, in interface with multiple methods and possibilities in VLE, the new technological resources contribute and stimulate new didactic-pedagogical perspectives, in this panorama of remote teaching, driven by the pandemic. That said, it is possible to offer a teaching of the EL, in bilingual programs, in primary schools in Brazil today, even in elementary school, distance and quality, with priority to the development of all the language skills that an apprentice must activate, for significant and efficient foreign language learning.

In the sentences “[…] the teacher should have good planning […]” and “[…] with priority to the development of all the language skills that an apprentice must activate […]”, the modal verbs express, respectively,
