      There are still many unknowns with respect to how blockchain will impact the audit and assurance profession, including the speed with which it will do so. Blockchain is already impacting Certified Public Accountant (CPA) auditors of those organizations using blockchain to record transactions and the rate of adoption is expected to continue to increase. However, in the immediate future, blockchain technology will not replace financial reporting and financial statement auditing. Financial statements reflect management assertions, including estimates, many of which cannot be easily summarized or calculated in a blockchain.
           Furthermore, the process of an independent audit of financial statements enhances the trust that is crucial for the effective functioning of the capital markets system. Any erosion of this trust may damage an entity’s reputation, stock price and shareholder value, and can result in fines, penalties, or loss of assets. Users of financial statements expect CPA auditors to perform an independent audit of the financial statements using their professional skepticism. CPA auditors conclude whether they have obtained reasonable assurance that the financial statements of an entity, taken as a whole, are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. A blockchain is unlikely to replace these judgments by a financial statement auditor.
       That said, CPA auditors need to monitor developments in blockchain technology—it will impact clients’ information technology systems. CPA auditors will need to be conversant with the basics of blockchain technology and work with experts to audit the complex technical risks associated with blockchain.
         In addition, CPA auditors should be aware of opportunities to leverage their clients' adoption of blockchain technology to improve data gathering during the audit. They should also consider whether blockchain technology will allow them to create automated audit routines. The auditing profession must embrace and "lean in" to the opportunities and challenges from widespread blockchain adoption. CPA auditors and assurance providers are encouraged to monitor developments in blockchain technology because they have an opportunity to evolve, learn, and capitalize on their already proven ability to adapt to the needs of a rapidly changing business world.

According to Collie and Slater in Cruz (2010) literature can be regarded as a rich source of ‘authentic material’ because it conveys two features in its written text: one is ‘language in use,’ that is, the employment of linguistics by those who have mastered it into a fashion intended for native speakers; the second is an aesthetic representation of the spoken language which is meant to recover or represent language within a certain cultural context. . (…) Literature as aesthetic recreation (that is, as something artificial) can be considered a much more “authentic” source and can inspire more authority in the use and enrichment of language than English textbooks or even than direct samples of language, more so if learners develop an “aesthetic reading” of the text (Langer, 1991, 1998; Many, Gerla, Wiseman, & Ellis, 1995). Through this personal and social experience students can develop a closer relationship with language, since they are reconstructing the target language on their own for their own learning process. There are some genres in literature including poetry, short fiction, drama and novel. (…) Poetry offers wonderful opportunities for reading, writing, speaking, and listening practice for English language learners. Poetry also gives students a chance to expand vocabulary knowledge, to play with language, and to work with different rhythms and rhyme patterns. (…) There are three principles to consider in material selection; 1) readability, it means that the poem is able to be read. It has to be clear to read, listen, or watch it on video. 2) suitability, the children are going to read, hear, learn the words, and words convey information and content that are appropriate to their age, maturity, and culture. 3) exploitability, it may simply be for fun and motivation, for social enjoyment within the classroom and worthy purpose.

In the excerpt which follows, the teacher is describing activities he/she can conduct with his/her students. Read it to answer question.
Describing pictures
One simple activity that we can do with our students is to ask them to look for a photo that they enjoy, in their Photo Gallery and describe it to their speaking partner (who is in the photo, where it was taken, when it was taken, etc.). This activity generates a lot of speaking and it can even work in a lowresource class. Students can also use pictures to talk to their partners about what they did the previous weekend, in summer, etc.
Taking pictures
We can encourage our learners to take photos of menus, street signs, advertisements or posters in English and read them carefully. Students can also try to spot spelling errors or incorrect use of apostrophe (‘s).
Recording conversations/words
The voice recorder is now a substitute for the portable cassette recorder. An idea for a simple activity that we can do is get the students record themselves speaking, whether it is for short dialogues with their partners or words. Students can then listen to themselves and become more aware of their mistakes.
Using QR codes for reading activities
QR codes are becoming increasingly popular. What a QR code does is bring up a website link that it is connected to or a text for students to read. In order to use QR codes, the phone needs to have a QR code reader and a camera. The teacher can simply display the QR code in the classroom and the learners can scan it and be directed to the text or grammar exercise. Another way to use QR codes is to hide pieces of paper with QR codes in the school and have students search for them, scan them and read the text they are directed to.

One of the objectives of the project, Re-imagining Multilingualisms, was to reimagine. The term ‘reimagining’ is something extremely important because imagining and being creative are not things we are used to doing in the academy, not in Linguistics at least! We believe that we are empiricists, that we only look at facts and we make conclusions. We are pseudo-scientists. We make conclusions about what we observe, and we think that what we observe has got nothing to do with what we imagine. On the contrary, it has everything to do with what we imagine. So, when we analyse things ideologically, what is ideology? It’s exactly an imagination which has been naturalised and institutionalised. And so, whenever we look at the world, we’re looking at it from the eyes of a particular learned knowledge, an ideology. When we are asked to be able to imagine things, it’s a point of being able to break out of our established learning and looking for something new. Imagining is extremely important in the learning process. If it doesn’t happen, there is no learning. This is one of the important things of Freirean pedagogy. For example, he made the distinction between what he called ‘banking pedagogies’ or ‘transmission pedagogies’ where there’s just reproduction and repetition, and ‘transformative pedagogies’, what he called ‘liberatory pedagogies’, which is where creativity is involved, where you break the simple linearity of repetition and transmission. So how does this work? How do you promote creativity? It is by breaking what previously seemed natural and normal.
