Q3221228 Inglês
In the article “Effective English Reading Strategies: English Language Learners’ Perceptions” (2019), the author Waheeb S. Albiladi says that: 

“Reading in English within a second language (ESL) context has received much attention as researchers and second language educators have sought the most effective and beneficial ways to develop language learners’ reading skills. For many educators (Horwitz, 2008; Krashen, 2007; Nation, 2008; Singhal, 2001), reading is the bridge that allows English language learners to acquire and develop other language skills including speaking, writing, and vocabulary acquisition. [...] Barrot (2016) mentioned that research surrounding teaching English reading focuses on the type of text or materials used in English classes and the strategies that ESL teachers utilize to facilitate teaching and learning of English reading”.

Analyze the following statements about the excerpt above:

I. Reading is the only mandatory skill needed for acquiring other language abilities. II. Research on teaching of English reading often focuses on materials and teaching strategies. III. Reading skills are less significant than speaking skills in second language learning.

Uses of AI in Education

     In May 2023, the U.S. Department of Education released a report titled Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Teaching and Learning: Insights and Recommendations. The department had conducted listening sessions in 2022 with more than 700 people, including educators and parents, to gauge their views on AI. The report noted that “constituents believe that action is required now in order to get ahead of the expected increase of AI in education technology – and they want to roll up their sleeves and start working together.” People expressed anxiety about “future potential risks” with AI but also felt that “AI may enable achieving educational priorities in better ways, at scale, and with lower costs.

    AI could serve – or is already serving – in several teachingand-learning roles, for instance: instructional assistants: AI’s ability to conduct human-like conversations opens up possibilities for adaptive tutoring or instructional assistants that can help explain difficult concepts to students. AI-based feedback systems can offer constructive critiques on student writing, which can help students fine-tune their writing skills. Some research also suggests certain kinds of prompts can help children generate more fruitful questions about learning. AI models might also support customized learning for students with disabilities and provide translation for English language learners; and teaching assistants: AI might tackle some of the administrative tasks that keep teachers from investing more time with their peers or students. Early uses include automated routine tasks such as drafting lesson plans, creating differentiated materials, designing worksheets, developing quizzes, and exploring ways of explaining complicated academic materials. AI can also provide educators with recommendations to meet student needs and help teachers reflect, plan, and improve their practice.

    Along with these potential benefits come some difficult challenges and risks the education community must navigate. For example, both teachers and students face the risk of becoming overly reliant on AI-driven technology. For students, this could stifle learning, especially the development of critical thinking. This challenge extends to educators as well. While AI can expedite lesson-plan generation, speed does not equate to quality. Teachers may be tempted to accept the initial AI-generated content rather than devote time to reviewing and refining it for optimal educational value.

       In light of these challenges, the Department of Education has stressed the importance of keeping “humans in the loop” when using AI, particularly when the output might be used to inform a decision. As the department encouraged in its 2023 report, teachers, learners, and others need to retain their agency. AI cannot “replace a teacher, a guardian, or an education leader as the custodian of their students’ learning,” the report stressed.
