Q3877274 Inglês
Analyze the following assertions made by Brown, in Teaching by Principles, about the characteristics of communicative language teaching.

I- Language techniques are not designed to engage learners in the pragmatic, authentic, functional use of language for meaningful purposes.

II- The role of the teacher is that of facilitator and guide, not an all-knowing bestower of knowledge; students are therefore encouraged to construct meaning through genuine linguistic interaction with others.

III- Students lack opportunities to focus on their own learning process through an understanding of their own styles of learning and through the development of appropriate strategies for autonomous learning.

IV- Fluency and accuracy are seen as complementary principles underlying communicative techniques; at times fluency may have to take on more importance than accuracy in order to keep learners meaningfully engaged in language use.

V- Classroom goals are focused on all the components (grammatical, discourse, functional, sociolinguistic, and strategic) of communicative competence; goals therefore must intertwine the organizational aspects of language with the pragmatic.

Considering the statements presented by Lightbown and Spada, in How Languages are Learned, about the behaviourist perspective, a theory of learning that was very influential in the 1940s and 1950s, especially in the United States, analyze the following assertions.

I- The behavourists viewed imitation and practice as the primary processes in language development.

II- This theory gives great importance to the environment as the source of everything the child needs to learn.

III- Traditional behaviourists hypothesized that when children imitated the language produced by those around them, their attempts to reproduce what they heard received ‘positive reinforcement’.

IV- Encouraged by their environment, children would continue to imitate and practice the sounds and patterns until they formed ‘habits’ of correct language use.

V- According to this view, the quality and quantity of the language the child hears, as well as the consistency of the reinforcement offered by others in the in the environment, would not shape the child’s language behaviour.

Why Even Basic A.I. Use Is So Bad for Students


    Last spring, it became clear to me that over half the students in my large general education lecture course had used artificial intelligence tools, contrary to my explicit policy, to write their final take-home exams. (Ironically, the course was titled Contemporary Moral Problems: The Value of Human Life.) I had asked them about some very recent work in philosophy, parts of which happened to share titles with entirely different ideas in medieval theology. You can guess which topics the students ended up “writing” about.

    My situation was hardly unique — rampant A.I. cheating has been reported all over the country. But I felt a dread I struggled to express until a colleague articulated the problem in stark terms: “Our students are about to turn subcognitive,” she said. That was it. At stake are not just specialized academic skills or refined habits of mind but also the most basic form of cognitive fluency. To leave our students to their own devices — which is to say, to the devices of A.I. companies — is to deprive them of indispensable opportunities to develop their linguistic mastery, and with it their most elementary powers of thought. This means they will lack the means to understand the world they live in or navigate it effectively.

The return-to-office paradox, and other trends in jobs and skills this month

    (...) Company leaders frequently argue that office mandates are crucial for collaboration and creativity. Face-to-face interactions can significantly increase output, research from 2022 shows. A study by MIT on Silicon Valley knowledge-sharing found that cutting in-person meetings by 25% had the power to reduce patent citations by 8%. Further analysis of Microsoft engineers in Nature found that all-remote work led to more rigid, siloed networks and less realtime collaboration. The research says remote works… Despite a growing push from corporate leaders to bring people back to the office, the data tells a different story: Productivity gains are real: A study of a call centre in Türkiye that went fully remote found agents handled 10% more calls than pre-pandemic; Flexibility supports wellbeing and retention: A study of a Chinese travel agency found that staff allowed to work from home two days a week were 33% less likely to quit and reported higher satisfaction; Flexible work and gender equity: The study in Türkiye also remote work increased the share of women in the workforce from 50% to 76% by early 2023 - well above the country's female labour force participation of 35%. (...)
    But does fully remote work? While fully remote workers report more engagement and enthusiasm than their in-office peers, they also experience higher rates of stress, loneliness and emotional distress. According to Gallup's ‘remote work paradox’, the absence of daily social connection and navigating tech advance alone can take a toll, especially over time. A recent survey of 25,000 Europeans found hybrid work best for psychological health and innovation, but the key is flexibility. McKinsey highlights six practices for successful hybrids, including clear norms, regular in-person time and building trust.
