Leia o texto a seguir de Dias e Turbi sobre the two multis e
responda à questão:
English school textbooks have a long tradition in the
Brazilian public sector of education. Most often they are the
only pedagogical resources in an English classroom. English
public school textbooks are submitted to a National Program
for evaluation and this educational policy has had positive
impacts on these materials. This article analyzes one of the
units of a textbook series for teens that was approved in 2020.
Our analysis focuses on the two “multis”, the multiliteracies
pedagogy and the combined effects of the use of different
media (multimodality), which aims to encourage the active
role today’s learners play in learning. We also highlight some
alternatives for improvements and give some suggestions for
English teachers. The documentary research method within
the qualitative paradigm supports our analysis. Our results
show that the unit follows the principles of the two “multis” and
the cycle of knowledge processes, although its pedagogical
design can be improved. Our analysis also reveals that much
has yet to be done if we consider the responsibility students
must assume when learning.

Leia os textos a seguir para responder à questão:
Do certain people actually have a “knack” for learning
foreign languages? Anecdotal evidence would suggest that
some people are indeed able to learn languages faster and
more efficiently than others. One way of looking at such
aptitude is the identification of characteristics of successful
language learners. Risk-taking behavior, memory efficiency,
intelligent guessing, willingness to communicate, low anxiety,
and ambiguity tolerance are but a few of the many variables
that have been cited
(Brown, H.D., Principles of Language Learning and Teaching, 2014. Adaptado)
Historically, research on language aptitude has been a
roller-coaster ride. John Carroll’s (Carroll & Sapon, 1959)
pioneering work on aptitude, embodied in the Modern
Language Aptitude Test (MLAT), began the quest. The
MLAT asserted the predictability of number learning, sound
discrimination, pattern discernment, and memorization
for future success in a foreign language. This test, and
some others, were used for some time in such contexts
as Peace Corps volunteer training programs and military
communications courses to help predict successful language
learners.

Text CG1A7
The United Kingdom (UK) government is developing a
“murder prediction” programme which it hopes can use personal
data of those known to the authorities to identify the people most
likely to become killers. Researchers are alleged to be using
algorithms to analyse the information of thousands of people,
including victims of crime, as they try to identify those at greatest
risk of committing serious violent offences.
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) says the scheme will “review
offender characteristics that increase the risk of committing
homicide” and “explore alternative and innovative data science
techniques to risk assessment of homicide”. The project would
“provide evidence towards improving risk assessment of serious
crime and ultimately contribute to protecting the public via better
analysis”, a spokesperson added.
The MoJ hopes the project will help boost public safety, but
campaigners have called it “chilling and dystopian”.
Sofia Lyall, a researcher for Statewatch, the pressure group that
discovered the existence of the project, said: “Time and again, research
shows that algorithmic systems for ‘predicting’ crime are inherently
flawed. This latest model […] will reinforce and magnify the structural
discrimination underpinning the criminal legal system.”
“Like other systems of its kind, it will code in bias towards
racialised and low-income communities. Building an automated
tool to profile people as violent criminals is deeply wrong, and
using such sensitive data on mental health, addiction and disability
is highly intrusive and alarming,” added Lyall.

Stateless People
Stateless people are not recognized as citizens by any country. UNHCR (United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees) advocates for their rights and works to prevent and end statelessness globally.
Millions of people around the world are denied the right to a nationality, which leaves them stateless. As a
result, they may be unable to access other basic rights and services. They are also often at a higher risk of
exploitation and abuse. At the end of June 2024, UNHCR’s statistical reporting counted 4.4 million stateless
people. Given that most countries do not report statelessness data, the actual figure is believed to be
substantially higher. Stateless people can be found in almost every country and in all regions of the world,
and most live in the same country in which they were born.
Stateless people face a lifetime of missed opportunities and disappointment. When they are born, their
parents may not be able to register their birth, obtain a birth certificate or other legal identity documents.
Without this, they often cannot be enrolled in school. If they do manage to enter school and receive education,
they may be barred from sitting formal exams to progress or enter university, unless they can prove their legal
identity. As an adult, they may not be allowed to work legally, which leaves them at an increased risk of
exploitation and abuse as they take low-paying and informal jobs. They often cannot access public services
like health care. They also frequently cannot open a bank account, vote, get a passport to travel, buy a home
or even get married. Stateless people cannot confer a nationality on their children. If the child is unable to
obtain a nationality through either of their parents or from the country of birth, they will also end up stateless,
perpetuating statelessness across generations.
What is the difference between a stateless person and a refugee? A stateless person is not considered
a national of any country. A refugee is someone who has fled their country to escape conflict or persecution
and has crossed an international border. While most refugees have a nationality, a person can be both
stateless and a refugee. However, the majority of stateless people live within the country in which they were
born and have never crossed an international border.
Adapted from https://www.unhcr.org/about-unhcr/who-we-protect/stateless-people
Choose the alternative that has the same meaning as the word sitting in the sentence “…they
may be barred from sitting formal exams to progress…” (paragraph 2).

Sweden Reintroduces Traditional Books in Schools After Digital-Only Education Experiment
In 2009, Sweden embarked on a bold journey to digitize its classrooms, aiming to revolutionize the way
students learn. The government envisioned a future where computers and tablets would transform education
into an interactive and accessible experience. By replacing traditional textbooks with digital alternatives,
Sweden sought to make learning more dynamic and prepare students for the digital demands of the 21st
century.
Despite the initial optimism, the digital transition did not deliver the anticipated results. Although
Sweden maintained its high ranking in global education standards, studies and feedback from educators and
parents revealed challenges. One significant issue was the decline in essential skills such as reading and
writing. Teachers noticed that students struggled to concentrate and retain information when using screens
compared to traditional paper-based learning methods.
Distractions from digital devices further compounded the problem. Lots of students get sidetracked by
games or surfing the web during class instead of sticking to their studies. While computers and tablets were
intended for learning, students often used them for gaming or browsing the internet during school hours,
reducing classroom engagement.
Recognizing these challenges, Sweden has decided to reverse course. From 2022 to 2025, the
government will invest €104 million to provide every student with paper textbooks for each subject. The
decision reflects the government’s understanding that (1)_____ technology has its advantages, traditional
teaching methods are vital for fostering critical thinking and comprehension skills.
“This move is about finding a balance,” said Education Minister Lena Johansson. “We’re not
abandoning digital tools altogether, but we’re ensuring that they complement rather than replace the
foundational aspects of learning.” By reinstating printed material, Sweden hopes to rebuild fundamental
learning skills (2)_____ continuing to use digital tools where they can add value. The new approach aims to
harmonize digital and traditional methods to create a more comprehensive educational experience.

Helping Others Helps Ourselves
By Victoria - Pineville, Missour
I believe helping others is a way to help ourselves. Helping a friend, family, a neighbor, or even a stranger does not necessarily mean fixing their car, or buying them lunch. Helping someone could be as simple as waving or smiling when walking past them. Helping a person could be a small thing such as listening to their problems, offering support and advice, and walking them through an otherwise hard time. Honestly, a person can help another without realizing helping is what they are doing.
Even though I am only eighteen years of age, I have helped many people and I will continue to do so for the rest of my life. In helping others I have become a better person. Offering assistance to others is the best way to leave a good impression on someone. Maybe it is the alleged “bum” on the side of the road; no one can truly know if he is sincerely poor or not except him/her. Still, stopping to give him/her a happy meal or a cup of coffee can show him/her that there are good people left in the world. You may not remember his/her face, but I can guarantee that he/she will remember your kindness forever.
Maybe you have a family member that is in trouble, and even though you agree with the punishment that has been given, you still feel the need to lend a helping hand. In my book everyone deserves a second chance, however if they blow that chance, then they are one their own. I also believe that everyone deserves the chance not to be judged. There are several people that are cold hearted, but seeing the good or best in them could help them to change into a better person. This is why I believe in helping other people.
I am soon going into the medical field to become a doctor. I chose this field in order to make the most out of helping people. I would be able to save someone’s life and in turn heal a family’s anguish. Besides healing others, I can deliver a child and make a family come together despite their differences and celebrate the joy of a newborn. I can in turn use my knowledge to discover a cure for cancer or lupus, thus helping many families realize there is still hope. Mostly, however, I would be helping myself in knowing that I have helped so many people for one small act of kindness. I hope that my belief will have a lasting effect on those who read it, and that you too will see the joy in helping others and do the same.
