Leia o parágrafo abaixo sobre a relevância do contexto cultural e sociopolítico na aprendizagem de uma língua estrangeira:
“ Culture is highly important in the learning of a second or foreign language. Agar’s (1994) notion of languaculture highlights the inseparable relationship between language and culture. He says, “culture is in language, and language is loaded with culture. (p.28) In other words, the two are intricately interwoven so that one cannot separate them without losing the significance of either language or culture.”
From: Brown, H. Douglas . Teaching by Principles: an interactive approach to language pedagogy. P. 157. Pearson Education: NY, 2015.

After reading the text “ Coronavirus: who is most at risk?”, it is correct to state that:
Coronavirus: Who is most at-risk?
After the initial outbreak of the coronavirus in the Chinese city of Wuhan, medical professionals have examined what physiological archetypes and age groups might have a greater risk of contracting the disease, in an effort to educate the public.
Fox News spoke with Dr. Debra Chew, Assistant Professor of Medicine at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, to gain a better understanding of the virus and how it behaves.
"Risks of contracting disease is based on epidemiologic exposure -- and therefore exposure to persons infected with the Wuhan Coronavirus, and those ill with respiratory symptoms who have travelled to Wuhan or neighbouring cities," she said. "This may expand with more cases and global travel.

Australia fires: What's being done to fight the flames?
Large parts of Australia __________ (devastate) by the worst wildfires the country __________ (see) in decades, with huge blazes tearing through bush, woodland and national parks. Record-breaking temperatures and months of drought __________ (help) the fires burn an estimated 10 million hectares (100,000 sq km) of land since 1 July.
Bushfire conditions EASED over the weekend, giving fire crews a period of temporary respite. But authorities __________ (say) the huge fires will persist until there is substantial rainfall. More hot weather is __________ (expect) next week and the risk was far from over, they said. Thousands of firefighters are still battling blazes across large swathes of Australia - ranging in size from small fires to infernos burning across hectares of land. Entire towns have been engulfed and residents across several states have lost their homes. At least 28 people have died.
State and federal authorities have been working together to try to stem the spread. While they have managed to contain some within a matter of days, the biggest blazes have been burning for months.
At least 3,700 firefighters are on the ground at any one time across the country during the worst periods, according to the country's state fire services. Most are in the worst-hit states of New South Wales (NSW) and Victoria. When fires have been at their worst, about 2,700 firefighters have been battling the blazes at any one time in NSW alone. Ben Shepherd, of the NSW Rural Fire Service, said his colleagues had dealt with 4.2m hectares of burning land this season, compared with the typical 300,000 hectares. "It's been an incredibly long campaign," he said.
Fire crews across the country have been joined by 3,000 army, navy and air force reservists who are assisting with search and rescue and clean-up efforts. Further support coming from the US, Canada, and New Zealand, who have sent additional teams and equipment to help.

Off to 'big school'? Some pupils need extra support, says Ofsted
Primary schools should identify pupils whose behaviour may be at risk of deteriorating when they reach secondary school, a report for Ofsted suggests. Head teachers told Ofsted some pupils could struggle more than others with the move to "big school" and might benefit from extra support. This could be offered to help minimise the risk of such pupils misbehaving when they arrive, they said. It comes as thousands of pupils have just started secondary school. England's education watchdog, Ofsted, has announced a new push on behaviour management for teachers.
Ofsted says it will be adopting a new focus on behaviour management when it inspects teacher training providers. Its aim is to ensure that teachers are well trained in principles of behaviour management, so that all pupils can be offered quality education. Poor behaviour is increasingly seen as a communication of need, rather than a child simply being badly behaved.
Ofsted chief inspector Amanda Spielman said: "Positive behaviour needs to be taught as early on as possible, and expectations raised as children get older. “For some pupils, going from a relatively small primary community, where you're known by everyone and where you have a close relationship with a small number of teachers, to a much larger secondary school with several teachers, will be particularly challenging," she added. "The schools in our sample felt that it was important to identify pupils who were particularly at risk well before they started secondary school, so that they could provide appropriate support and prepare them for life in the 'big school'. "
The aim is to prevent pupils from falling behind as they struggle with the transition, which head teachers said could lead to a SPIKE in challenging behaviour. But the report was keen to point out that early identification of potential issues should not result in secondary schools discouraging entries from certain pupils. Ms Spielman is clear that good behaviour benefits everyone, by providing a positive setting for learning.

Based on the text decide whether the sentences below are true (T) or false (F):
– Ofsted claims that, once tracking student’s
behaviour in primary school, it will increase the
rate of challenging behaviour in secondary
school.
– The text supports that the move from primary to secondary school can be a difficult transition for all students.
– Poor behaviour is a way of asking for help and teachers should be trained to spot them.
– Going from a small and comfortable environment to a new school could lead to insecurities, which could cause bad behaviour and poor learning.
– Teachers are being trained to spot behaviour that could indicate possible transition difficulties in the future.

Listening challenges for English language learners
There are many difficulties an individual may face in understanding a talk, lecture or conversation in a second language (and sometimes even in their first language). The speaker, the situation and the listener can all be the cause of these difficulties.
Contributing factors include the speaker talking quickly, background noise, a lack of visual clues (such as on the telephone), the listener’s limited vocabulary, a lack of knowledge of the topic, and an inability to distinguish individual sounds.
While the challenges posed by the speaker or the situation may be out of the listener’s hands, there are a few skills or 'strategies' that English learners can use to help them along

Brown (2007:390-397) states that “trends in the teaching of writing in ESL and others foreign language have, not surprisingly, coincided with those of the teaching of other skills, especially listening and speaking. […] Over the past few decades of research on teaching writing to second language learners, a number of issues have appeared, some of which remain controversial in spite of reams of data on second language writing.” Check the alternative that has three of those issues.
