When planning a reading test for her 9th grade class, a teacher inserted sentences in the text that did not initially belong there, but discussed the same topic. She then asked students to locate these sentences.
In this case, what reading strategy is this test assessing?

A High School English teacher plans to use this meme on an assessment activity because it matches one of her class themes: introduction to English literature. The focus of the unit is its canonic masterpieces and their authors, from Old English to Contemporary English(es).
In this context, what is the relationship between the meme and the unit?
T: Hello, class!
Ss: Hi, teacher.
T: Today, I am going to introduce a new verb tense to you: the simple past. The simple past tense is used to describe actions or events that happened in the past. For example, If I say, “I walked to school yesterday,” what tense am I using?
(The teacher writes the sentences on the blackboard)
Ss: It is easy. It is simple past.
T: Ok, very good. What happened to the verb in the sentence?
Ss: You added “-ed.”
(The teacher underlines “-ed” in a different color)
T: Great. So, to change from the present tense to the past tense, with regular verbs, we simply add “-ed” to the verb. If the verb ends in “-y” preceded by a consonant, we drop the “-e” and add “-ied”, ok? Now let’s practice. Change the verbs below from present to past tense.
Scenario II: An English teacher (T) introduces the simple past tense to a group of 7th-grade students (Ss, S1, S2).
T: Hello, class!
Ss: Hello, teacher.
T: What day is today?
Ss: It is Monday.
T: Excellent. So, can you tell me what you did yesterday?
S1: I watch a movie on TV.
T: You watched a movie on TV, how nice.
S2: I played soccer with my friends.
T: Great. Now let’s practice. Sit in pairs and talk to your friend about things you did last week.
(The teacher observes their performances and assists them when required).
We can state about scenario I and scenario II, respectively, that

During the English class, the teacher presented the cartoon below to explain the grammar topic Present Perfect Tense. First, to explore the visual information brought by the cartoon, the teacher asked students if they frequently use online dictionaries. After that, the teacher explored the grammatical properties of the structure has been laid off presented in the cartoon and the unfamiliar vocabulary. At the end of class, some practice using fill-in-the-blank activities was proposed, as an opportunity to develop the students’ writing skills. Her initial goal was to promote critical thinking, reflect on the technology’s impacts on society and develop the students’ reading and writing skills.

Considering the teacher’s initial goal and what she actually did, it is possible to conclude that
An English teacher analyzes the written work of her class of basic level students and notices that some errors are recurrent, related to orthographic and/or phonological similarities to the mother tongue (L1), such as: (1) the transit in São Paulo is bad; (2) when she was a child, she studied at a public college; (3) I want to study a stranger language. The challenge for the teacher is to find strategies to facilitate the understanding and correction of these errors in order to help her students develop greater autonomy and awareness of them, as well as to promote more effective learning.
TEXT 2
Errors, once considered obstacles in behaviorist theory, are now recognized as an essential part of learning. This requires a pedagogical approach that values them as teaching tools and encourages students to learn from them and become autonomous in their correction and learning. If we want our students to become good fishermen, we need to use a correction method that teaches them how to fish without giving them the fish.

Starting point is a pre-reading activity that provides a specific sociocultural context. In our contemporary scenario, the focus of this cultural teaching view is to raise global cultural consciousness.
Considering this, how does this High School textbook activity promote a multicultural approach?
• explicit correction, which refers to the explicit provision of the correct form; • recast, which involves the teacher’s reformulation of all or part of a student’s utterance, minus the error;
• clarification requests, which indicate to students either that their utterance has been misunderstood by the teacher or that the utterance is ill-formed in some way;
• metalinguistic feedback, which contains either comments, information or questions related to the well-formedness of the student’s utterance;
• elicitation, where the teacher prompts the students to correct themselves by asking questions or pausing to allow them to complete the teacher’s utterance correctly;
• repetition, where the teacher repeats the student’s error, often with a change in intonation to highlight the mistake.

In an Elementary English class, the teacher asks the students to introduce themselves. The first student stands up and says, “Hi, my name is Carlos. I from Venezuela. I have 12 years old.” The teacher didn’t want to demotivate the students by pointing out the errors because he believes making errors is part of the learning process. So, he used a type of corrective feedback by saying, “I am from Venezuela. I am 12 years old.”
Considering this scenario, to correct the student’s utterance in Text 2, the teacher used a type of corrective feedback known as

Last week, when an English teacher got into her High School class, one of her students was showing the poem above to her friends. She said she had found it online and was curious about it because its structure was different from the ones she was used to reading. The teacher was pleased to hear that, and thought this would be an excellent opportunity to introduce her class into this non-canonical literature. She started presenting the author, Rupi Kaur, a contemporary Indian poet. Then, she read it aloud and asked them to work in pairs to figure out its main idea.
Considering the students’ ages, their school level and their critical thinking ability, the teacher anticipated they should be able to understand that

After the students have repeated the dialogue several times, the teacher gives them a chance to adopt the role of Bill while she says Sally’s lines. Before the class actually says each line, the teacher models it. In effect, the class is experiencing a repetition drill where the students have to listen carefully and attempt to mimic the teacher’s model as accurately as possible.

The teacher greets the class and distributes a handout. There is writing on both sides. On one side is a copy of a sports column from a recent newspaper. The reporter is discussing the last World Cup competition. The teacher asks the students to read it and then to underline the predictions the reporter makes about the next World Cup. He gives them these directions in the target language. Then, he and the students discuss which predictions the reporter feels more certain about and which predictions he feels less certain about.

The new High School English teacher has heard her colleagues use the following adjectives to characterize her students: noisy, challenging and disinterested. However, she knows that adolescence is a developmental stage influenced by biological, cognitive and affective factors and that necessary pedagogical adjustments are needed to meet the unique demands of this time. In any case, this reality poses a challenge for her, as she has the task of developing reading and writing skills in English. To meet these requirements, the teacher wishes to seek alternative assessment methods that encourage students to read and produce collaborative, critically reflective texts from which they can construct ideas and develop their argumentative and creative skills. She recognizes that her role should be that of a facilitator in the writing process.
TEXT 2
Due to the qualitative leap in intelligence during the adolescent stage of development, a more mechanical and traditional approach to teaching, learning and assessment that focuses solely on performance by the teacher and learning by the student, without encouraging genuine interaction between them, is more likely to lead to fatigue, discouragement and lack of engagement with the new language being learned. It also becomes clear that teaching based on an exclusionary methodology, ignoring the feelings and needs of these students and increasing their distance from the teacher, does not reach the world of adolescents. However, if they are guided by a meaningful approach to learning, encouraged to actively participate in the classroom and in decision-making processes, and feel that their thoughts and opinions are valued, the process of language learning, teaching and assessment can take a different direction that makes sense to them.

After that, the teacher provided information about Nigeria during the period the novel was set, pointing out the consequences of colonialism on indigenous culture. The students had a moment to analyze the excerpt critically, consider the plot, and establish connections with the animation preview. At the end of the class, the teacher proposed a digital storytelling project, so students could use multimedia elements to quote the novel.
By incorporating the animation preview and the excerpt from Things Fall Apart to talk about emotions, the teacher
