Considering the preceding text and reading strategies such as skimming, scanning, and prediction, evaluate the following item.
How can education stay ahead in a world being
transformed by climate change, AI, inequality, conflict and
shifting labor markets?
Societies are being reshaped by powerful forces, such as
demographic change, technological transformation, climate and
environmental pressures, threats to peace and democracy,
disinformation, rising inequalities and polarization, and major
labor market transformations. These forces are already changing
how people learn, work, live and participate in society.
As
the
world undergoes rapid and profound
transformation, education systems cannot afford to only respond
to crises after they happen. They need to look ahead, anticipate,
and strategize. Foresight helps us do exactly that: it brings
together evidence, diverse perspectives and structured reflection
to identify the trends, risks and opportunities that could define the
future of education.
It
will
strengthen international, inter-sectoral and
inter-generational dialogue, helping ensure that the emerging
post-2030 education agenda reflects both expert insights and the
diverse realities and aspirations of young people.
Internet: <https://www.unesco.org/sdg4education2030/en/articles/>(adapted).
If a teacher asks his students to search for specific
information in the text about which forces are reshaping
societies, students should apply the scanning strategy to
identify them.

Fluency in a foreign language is often thought to be about
speaking quickly and using advanced vocabulary. However,
researchers reveal that speakers who use common, everyday
expressions sound more fluent than those who rely on rare,
complex words. There is a study that highlights the importance of
mastering familiar phrases to improve fluency perception,
suggesting that learners should naturally incorporate common
formulaic expressions in spontaneous speech.
The findings revealed that utterance fluency (smoothness
of speech delivery) was the strongest predictor of fluency
perception, accounting for 61% of the variance in ratings.
However, high-frequency formulaic expressions added an extra
0.8% to fluency judgments, while rarer, more complex phrases
had little to no effect.
This research suggests that learners should shift their
focus from advanced vocabulary to mastering everyday phrases
that come naturally in conversation. For example, instead of
saying "I concur with the idea" — which sounds unnatural —
learners should use "I agree with the idea." These common
expressions are easy to find in textbooks and everyday
conversations, making them more accessible for learners of all
levels.

Ministers have awarded an almost £15 million contract to
tackle the systemic decline in the number of pupils in England
taking foreign languages at GCSE (General Certificate of
Secondary Education) and A-level (General Certificate of
Education Advanced Level).
The University College London’s Institute of Education
will establish a National Centre for Languages Education
(NCLE) made up of up to 25 lead schools specialising in
languages to work with up to 105 partner secondary schools. The
centre aims to develop strategies to persuade more boys, as well
as pupils with special educational needs or disabilities and other
disadvantaged pupils, to choose languages, while up to five
schools will be chosen to expand the Home Languages
Accreditation project, which helps bilingual pupils gain GCSEs
or A-levels in their home or heritage language.
Nick Gibb, minister for school standards, said: "Our
economy needs people who can communicate across the globe
and trade with overseas businesses. This programme is about
ensuring we have the next generation of young people with the
languages needed to compete on the world stage."
Crossbench peer Jean Coussins, who co-chairs the
All-Party Parliamentary Group on Modern Languages, said it was
good that the government was taking languages seriously, but in
order to reach its EBACC (English Baccalaureate) targets, it
would "also need to address modern foreign language teacher
recruitment (just 34% of target numbers this year)".

When a person attempts to express their thoughts in
writing, they use a series of cognitive functions like working
memory to access words and ideas they want to convey,
phonological awareness of concepts such as syntax and more.
And that is in their native language. A new study from the
University of Kansas is among the first of its kind to examine
cognitive functions and their role in teaching English learners to
write in their second language.
The study performed a battery of bilingual cognitive tests
with nearly 500 elementary-age English learners and found the
relationships between English writing performance and cognitive
skills became stronger as grades increased. However, the
relationships between English writing and Spanish cognitive and
reading determinants, for example, were mixed, indicating
working memory capacity was especially important in the
population’s performance in learning to write in their second
language.
The findings not only shed light on how students learn to
write, they could help lead to development of interventions to
help English learners improve their writing abilities.
Neuroscience reveals that working memory is a complex
cognitive function involving multiple regions. The prefrontal
cortex is central to working memory, handling the retention and
manipulation of short-term information.
