’Tis but thy name that is my enemy; Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What’s Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot, Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part Belonging to a man. O! be some other name: What’s in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet; So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call’d, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name; And for that name, which is no part of thee, Take all myself.

"On Monday, 8 April, train services across several regions experienced disruptions due to a 24-hour strike initiated by train drivers from the Aslef union at midnight. Affected companies included c2c, Greater Anglia, GTR Great Northern, Thameslink, Southeastern, Southern/Gatwick Express, South Western Railway main line and depot drivers, and SWR Island Line. South Western Railway announced a "significantly reduced" service operating only between 07:00 BST and 19:00 BST, while Southern reported that no trains would run across most of its network, except for a limited non-stop service between London Victoria and Gatwick. Thameslink services were completely suspended, except for a limited non-stop service between London Kings Cross and Cambridge and a shuttle service between London St Pancras, Luton, and Luton Airport Parkway."

‘It’s our Super Bowl’: This science teacher is going all out for the eclipse
It’s not always glamorous being a science teacher.
One of Rick Crosslin’s signature projects involves picking through owl pellets — that’s regurgitated owl food — to teach fifth-graders about the bird’s carnivorous diet. His YouTube page, where he posts gravity demonstrations and commentary on “very interesting microworms,” can be a labor of love, with some videos amassing a few dozen to a few hundred views. But on Monday, Mr. Crosslin in Indianapolis and science teachers around the country will have their moment in the sun (or, rather, out of it) with the arrival of the total solar eclipse. “It’s our Super Bowl. It’s our Taylor Swift concert,” said Mr. Crosslin, a teacher who specializes in creating hands-on science projects for the Metropolitan School District of Wayne Township in west Indianapolis. Mr. Crosslin, 70, has gone all out for the day. He helped procure thousands of eclipse glasses for students in his district, where a majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. In one D.I.Y. project, he created a celebratory mask — using a glue gun, a paper plate and shimmering tinsel — to resemble the sun’s corona, the outer atmosphere visible during an eclipse. His most ambitious project, though, was to build a giant model of the eclipse to help students visualize what happens. Based on the provided text, what is the main objective of Rick Crosslin in creating projects like building a giant model of a solar eclipse?

Among the various factors contributing to the global diffusion of the English language, a fundamental aspect is its relevance as a lingua franca in various sectors, from international business to scientific and technological communications.

Considering the Approaches and Methods in English Language Teaching, classify the following statements as true (T) or false (F)
( ) The Direct Method: This method places a greater emphasis on repetitive drills and pronunciation practice. Students are expected to mimic the teacher's pronunciation and practice dialogues until they become automatic. This can be effective for improving fluency and pronunciation, but it can also be quite boring for students.
( ) The Audio-Lingual Method: This method emphasizes spoken language over written language. In the classroom, teachers avoid using the student's native language and instead rely on gestures, visuals, and real-life situations to communicate meaning. This can be a good way to improve speaking and listening skills, but it can be challenging for beginners.
( ) Communicative Language Teaching (CLT): This is the most widely used approach today. It emphasizes using language in real-life situations. Students are encouraged to work together on tasks and projects that require them to use English for a communicative purpose. This approach helps students develop all four language skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking) in an integrated way.
( ) Task-Based Learning (TBL): This is a methodology that falls under the communicative approach. Students are given activities that they need to complete using English. They can be anything from planning a vacation to solving a problem. This approach helps students develop fluency, accuracy, and problem-solving skills.
The statements, in order, are:

Written by Virginia Woolf, the following letter expresses her fear of another mental breakdown and her decision to take her own life.


“Dearest, I feel certain that I am going mad again. I feel we can't go through another of those terrible times. And I shan't recover this time. I begin to hear voices, and I can't concentrate. So I am doing what seems the best thing to do. You have given me the greatest possible happiness. You have been in every way all that anyone could be. I don't think two people could have been happier 'til this terrible disease came. I can't fight any longer. I know that I am spoiling your life, that without me you could work. And you will I know. You see I can't even write this properly. I can't read. What I want to say is I owe all the happiness of my life to you. You have been entirely patient with me and incredibly good. I want to say that – everybody knows it. If anybody could have saved me it would have been you. Everything has gone from me but the certainty of your goodness. I can't go on spoiling your life any longer. I don't think two people could have been happier than we have been. V.”

Língua nativa influencia na conectividade do cérebro, conclui estudo


Cientistas do Instituto Max Planck de Ciências Humanas Cognitivas e do Cérebro, na Alemanha, encontraram evidências de que o idioma que falamos molda a conectividade em nosso cérebro, possivelmente influenciando a maneira como pensamos. O trabalho será publicado na edição de abril da revista científica NeuroImage.
Com a ajuda de tomografias de ressonância magnética, os estudiosos examinaram profundamente cérebros de falantes nativos de alemão e de árabe, e descobriram diferenças na fiação das regiões cerebrais associadas à linguagem.
Xuehu Wei, que é aluna de doutorado na equipe de pesquisa de Alfred Anwander e Angela Friederici no Instituto Max Planck, comparou varreduras cerebrais de 94 falantes nativos dos idiomas escolhidos, todos com idades entre 18 e 34 anos. As imagens de alta resolução não apenas mostram a anatomia do cérebro, mas também permitem derivar a conectividade entre as áreas cerebrais, usando uma técnica chamada imagem ponderada por difusão.
Os dados mostraram que as conexões de axônios da substância branca da rede de linguagem se adaptam às demandas e dificuldades de processamento da língua materna. “Os falantes nativos de árabe mostraram uma conectividade mais forte entre os hemisférios esquerdo e direito do que os falantes nativos de alemão”, explica Alfred Anwander, último autor do estudo, em comunicado. “Esse fortalecimento também foi encontrado entre as regiões semânticas da linguagem e pode estar relacionado ao processamento semântico e fonológico relativamente complexo do árabe.”
Ainda de acordo com a pesquisa, os falantes nativos de alemão mostraram uma conectividade mais forte na rede de idiomas do hemisfério esquerdo. Os autores argumentam que suas descobertas podem estar relacionadas ao complexo processamento sintático do alemão, devido à ordem livre das palavras e à maior distância de dependência dos elementos da frase.
“A conectividade cerebral é modulada pela aprendizagem e pelo ambiente durante a infância, o que influencia o processamento e o raciocínio cognitivo no cérebro adulto. Nosso estudo fornece novas informações sobre como o cérebro se adapta às demandas cognitivas, ou seja, o conectoma estrutural da linguagem é moldado pela língua materna”, resume Anwander.
Esse é um dos primeiros estudos a documentar as diferenças entre os cérebros de pessoas que cresceram com diferentes idiomas nativos e pode dar pistas para entender as diferenças de processamento intercultural no cérebro. Em uma próxima análise, a equipe pretende investigar mudanças estruturais longitudinais no cérebro de adultos de língua árabe à medida que aprendem alemão ao longo de seis meses.
