A primeira língua franca de que se tem conhecimento é
do século XVII, utilizada na região do Mediterrâneo
devido à necessidade de comunicação para o comércio
na região. Atualmente, o contexto sociolinguístico
mundial apresenta a língua inglesa como língua franca, e
esta aparece de forma linguística e culturalmente
diversa. Com o acesso às novas tecnologias, o inglês se
tornou a língua escolhida para aflorar em primeiro plano
em muitas das atividades da sociedade atual. Sobre a definição do Inglês como Língua Franca (ILF), assinale a

Para Diana Brydon: "O mundo contemporâneo requer
habilidades de letramento avançadas e isto inclui a
capacidade de pensar criticamente, incluindo
contextualização, análise, adaptação, tradução de
informação e interação entre os indivíduos dentro e além
de sua comunidade" (BRYDON, 2011, p. 105). Quando
se fala em alfabetização e letramento, é necessário
observar uma das principais diferenças entre estes dois
processos educativos: basicamente, a alfabetização
ensina a codificar e decodificar o sistema de escrita;
enquanto o letramento instrui o domínio e o uso da
linguagem como prática social. Desta forma, o processo
de alfabetização pode ser visto como um processo finito,
na medida em que o letramento pode ser continuamente
desenvolvido. Apesar dessas diferenças, os dois
processos interagem entre si, e podem ser utilizados de
maneira eficaz no ensino de linguagens no meio
educacional. Sobre o letramento em língua inglesa, e
seguindo a teoria do Letramento Crítico, assinale a
alternativa CORRETA.

I.A linguagem é neutra e transparente, não sendo perpassada por influências históricas e culturais, então o processo de letramento em língua inglesa diz respeito somente ao aprendizado do alfabeto estrangeiro.
II.A linguagem exerce um papel fundamental na formação crítica dos cidadãos, e o ensino de língua inglesa pode possibilitar a construção da visão crítica dos estudantes.
III.O letramento crítico pode ser fomentado a partir do trabalho dos professores de língua inglesa, na construção, com os estudantes, das várias interpretações possíveis dos discursos contidos em textos (orais e/ou escritos).

O British Council, instituição que realiza avaliações de
proficiência em língua inglesa, define as quatro
habilidades de comunicação necessárias para
compreensão do idioma. Estas habilidades são: ler,
ouvir, falar e escrever. Alguns estudiosos apontam que, em um modelo tradicional de educação, o ensino de
cada uma das habilidades era realizado de maneira
segmentada, ou até mesmo priorizando apenas uma ou
duas em detrimento das outras. Atualmente, se acredita
que estas quatro habilidades estão conectadas e são
melhor desenvolvidas de forma conjunta. Sobre a
definição de cada uma das quatro habilidades de

Gigantic skull of prehistoric sea monster found on England's 'Jurassic Coast'
The remarkably well-preserved skull of a gigantic pliosaur, a prehistoric sea monster, has been discovered on a beach in the county of Dorset in southern England, and it could reveal secrets about these awe-inspiring creatures.
Pliosaurs dominated the oceans at a time when dinosaurs roamed the land. The unearthed fossil is about 150 million years old, almost 3 million years younger than any other pliosaur fins. Researchers are analyzing the specimen to determine whether it could even be a species new to science.
Originally spotted in spring 2022, the fossil, along with its complicated excavation and ongoing scientific investigation, are now detailed in the upcoming BBC documentary "Attenborough and the Jurassic Sea Monster" presented by legendary naturalist Sir David Attenborough, that will air February 14 on PBS.
Such was the enormous size of the carnivorous marine reptile that the skull, excavated from a cliff along Dorset's "Jurassic Coast", is almost 2 meters (6.6 feet) ling. In its fossilized form, the specimen weighs over half a metric ton. Pliosaurs species could grow to 15 meters (50 feet) in length, according to Encyclopaedia Britannica.
The fossil was buried deep in the cliff, about 11 meters (36 feet) above the ground and 15 meters (49 feet) down the cliff, local paleontologist Steve Etches, who helped uncover it, told the CNN in a video call.
Extracting it proved a perilous task, one fraught with danger as a crew raced against the clock during a window of good weather before summer storms closed in and the cliff eroded, possibly taking the rare and significant fossil with it.
Etches first learned of the fossil's existence when his friend Philip Jacobs called him after coming across the pliosaur's snout on the beach. Right from the start, they were "quite excited, because its jaws closed together which indicates (the fossil) is complete," Etches said.
After using drones to map the cliff and identify the rest of the pliosaur's precise position, Etches and his team embarked on a three-week operation, chiseling into the cliff while suspended in midair.
"It's a miracle we got it out," he said, "because we had one last day to get this thing out, which we did at 9:30 p.m."
Etches took on the task of painstakingly restoring the skull. There was a time he found "very disillusioning" as the mud, and bone, had cracked, but "over the following days and weeks, it was a case of ..., like a jigsaw, putting it all back. It took a long time but every bit of bone we got back in."
It's a "freak of nature" that this fossil remains in such good condition, Etches added. "It died in the right environment, there was a lot of sedimentation ... so when it died and went down to the seafloor, it got buried quite quickly."
Fearsome top predator of the seas
The nearly intact fossil illuminates the characteristics that made the pliosaur a truly fearsome predator, hunting prey such as the dolphinlike ichthyosaur. The apex predator with huge razor-sharp teeth used as a variety of senses, including sensory pits still visible on its skull that may have allowed it to detect changes in water pressure, according to the documentary.
The pliosaur had a bite twice as powerful as a saltwater crocodile, which has the world's most powerful jaws today, according to Emily Rayfield, a professor of paleobiology at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom who appeared in the documentary. The prehistoric marine predator would have been able to cut into a car, she said.
Andre Rowe, a postdoctoral research associate of paleobiology at the University of Bristol, added that "the animal would have been so massive that I think it would have been able to prey effectively on anything that was unfortunate enough to be in its space."
