Literacy involves having the wherewithal to base one’s interpretive and creative decisions on one’s personal purposes, one’s understanding of the medium one is working with, and the conditions of possibility of reception, acceptance, or rejection by others. The importance of the medium translates into a number of pedagogical goals for language and literacy education:

• To develop learners’ ability to reflect on relationships between language forms and their material contexts.
• To make learners aware of how those relationships change over time and through different mediums and different cultures ofreading (i.e., to make learners aware of the historical precedents that have helped shape the communication technologies they use).
• To develop learners’ ability to analyze mediums to identify their ideological (or commercial) underpinnings, and to be aware of how mediums can be used to manipulate consumers and citizens, and to resist such manipulation. To accomplish these goals, teachers should engage learners with questions about how the new media born of the digital age relate to ‘old’ media, and perhaps even ancient media, to allow them to discover what aspects of literacy have remained relatively constant, which have changed, and what the significance of those changes might be.

Based on the text, which of the following best describes the pedagogical goals for language and literacy education in the context of media?

Language teaching has been characterized by several methods and approaches which were popular at some point and declined over the years. There are many elements when it comes to teaching a foreign language from theory of language to roles of materials. Which of the following describes a language teaching based mainly on grammar teaching and courses segmented into separate language skills with preoccupation with rules as described in Brown (2007)?

Brazilian learners often base their pronunciation on spelling. This tendency is understandable, given that Portuguese pronunciation closely aligns with its orthography, making it easier to transfer these habits to the acquisition of a second language. Nonetheless, it is crucial to recognize pronunciation as a vital component of effective communication, demanding clarity and comprehensibility. In order to foment that habit, educators may use the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), which provides symbols that accurately represent the standard sounds produced during speech. Integrating the IPA to various pedagogical approaches can significantly enhance students’ pronunciation skills. According to IPA transcriptions quoted by Swan (2005, p.xxx), the words house, occasion, cheap, with, think are pronounced as follows:

In The Postmethod Condition: (E)merging Strategies for Second/Foreign Language Teaching, Kumaravadivelu (1994) states that a widespread dissatisfaction with the conventional concept of method has produced what the author calls the “postmethod condition”, a reformulation that can potentially reshape the character and content of L2 (second language) teaching, teacher education, and classroom research. In this context, fostering language awareness consists in one out of ten macro strategies proposed by the author in a strategic framework for L2 teaching in the postmethod era. Regarding the concept of language awareness proposed by the author, it is correct to say that:

There are two statements below an assertion (A) and a reason (R) about English for Specific Purposes. Mark the correct answer about them.

Assertion (A)

When designing an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) course, the first stage is to carry out a rigorous needs analysis of the target situation and only after that the organizational patterns in specific texts should be identified to specify the linguistics means by which they are signaled. After adding such patterns to specific register and lexical components, the course design is ready. Thus, there are just these three stages in ESP for Hutchinson and Waters (1987).

Reason (R)

Using the analogy of a tree, Hutchinson and Waters (1987) defined ESP as a language product whose root is English Language Teaching (ELT) and branches are English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and English for Occupational Purposes (EOP). Thus, the main point of ESP is to teach specialized vocabulary.

“The main difference between classroom assessment and large-scale educational assessment is the context of the classroom. The learners are there as learners, and the teacher is there to engage with the learners in the learning process. This is true irrespective of whether the teacher is viewed as a facilitator, an imparter of knowledge,an expert interlocutor, or whatever other model one may choose to use.” (Fulcher; Davidson, 2007, p. 24).

In Language Testing and Assessment: An advanced resource book, Fulcher and Davidson (2007) state that there are important differences between largescale testing and classroom assessment, although the latter usually benefits from concepts presented in studies related to the former. Based on such divergence, it is correct to say that:

Scholars from various theoretical backgrounds have continuously defined and redefined genre from different perspectives. Chouliaraki and Fairclough (1999, p. 21, apud Meuer, 2013, p. 151) investigate the concept of language use within society, emphasizing that the relationship between language and society is not unilateral but dialectical. From this perspective, the analysis of social practices offers the advantage of providing a nexus between abstract structures and their operative mechanisms, thus reconciling the divide between “society” and the lived experiences of individuals.

Genres, according to what is being appointed above, are defined according to their

The role of technology in language and literacy education

As Dourish and Bell (2011) have pointed out, “The technologically mediated world does not stand apart from the physical one within which it is embedded; rather, it provides a new set of ways for that physical world to be understood and appropriated” (p. 132). But those new ways of understanding and appropriating are not likely to be developed automatically. A favorable disposition of mind is a prerequisite. And that disposition is probably best fostered in educational settings. Young people today learn digitally mediated modes of expression largely outside of school, and those out of school uses of digital technologies are often more varied and more sophisticated than those they encounter at school (Jenkins, Purushotma, Weigel, Clinton, & Robison, 2009; Lundby, 2008). This raises the question of what the function of schools should be with respect to digital technologies and literacy. If literacy is the know-how needed to deal with the technology of writing in a given culture, and if globalization and its attendant social and technological changes have simultaneously increased individuals’ control of and control by technologies of communication, then I would suggest that the answer to the question above is that schools need to foster literacy that includes a dimension of critical semiotic awareness.
KERN, Richard. Language, literacy, and technology. Cambridge University Press, 2019.

According to the text, the technologically mediated world influences the understanding and appropriation of the physical world, therefore what role should educational settings play in this context to improve students’ awareness?

Os estudos sobre os letramentos no Brasil têm adquirido contornos significativos, graças ao avanço da tecnologia e a sua inserção nas práticas de ensino de leitura e escrita, sobretudo no contexto escolar. Por mais que a realidade ainda não esteja totalmente adequada para o desenvolvimento de técnicas digitais, observamos uma crescente integração desse ambiente de aprendizagem por meio das TDICs, as chamadas tecnologias da informação e da comunicação. Diante desse cenário, o letramento se destaca como um conceito relevante e necessário na contemporaneidade para se pensar a construção do ensino e no aprimoramento de conhecimentos. Considerando as implicações do letramento digital, pode-se afirmar que

Wreckage of US World War Two submarine found after 80 years
The wreckage of a US Navy submarine that sank the most Japanese warships during World War Two has been found in the South China Sea, some 80 years after it was sunk by enemy forces.
The USS Harder was found 3,000ft (914m) below water off the Philippines' northern island of Luzon. The Harder was sunk in battle on 29 August 1944, along with its crew of 79 men.
In one of its final war patrols, it sank three Japanese destroyers and heavily damaged two others over four days, according to the US Navy's History and Heritage Command (NHHC). This forced the Japanese to change their battle plans and delay their carrier force, contributing to their defeat.
“Harder was lost in the course of victory. We must not forget that victory has a price, as does freedom,” said Samuel J. Cox, a retired US admiral who heads the NHHC.
The Philippines was one of the main Pacific battlegrounds of World War Two, as the US fought to retake its former colony from the Japanese Imperial Army.
Waters in and around the archipelago have served as the resting place of famed World War Two battleships. In 2015, US billionaire Paul Allen located the wreck of the Musashi, one of the two largest Japanese warships ever built, in the Philippines' Sibuyan Sea.
The Harder, which sailed under the motto of "Hit 'em harder', was found by the Lost 52 project, which aims to find the 52 US submarines lost during World War Two. It was found sitting upright on its keel or spine, and relatively intact, the US Navy said.
The submarine and its crew were later awarded the Presidential Unit Citation for its service during the war. The honour recognises extraordinary heroism in action.
Its skipper, Commander Sam Dealey, was posthumously awarded the US's highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor.

De língua estrangeira para língua franca: na Base, essa é uma mudança de conceito importante para o ensino do Inglês. O que isso significa? Língua franca é a língua que várias pessoas, que falam idiomas diferentes, adotam para se comunicarem entre si. Nesse sentido, a BNCC legitima o Inglês, não só como a língua falada em países como nos Estados Unidos ou na Inglaterra, mas como uma oportunidade de acesso ao mundo globalizado.

A sociedade vitoriana era marcadamente hierárquica, com a classe e o gênero servindo como os principais princípios organizadores. A era viu um número crescente de pessoas ganhando o direito ao voto, ao lado de um estado e economia em expansão. Apesar de períodos de dificuldade, como os "anos de fome" da década de 1840, a tendência geral foi em direção ao aumento dos padrões de vida, com até mesmo famílias da classe trabalhadora desfrutando de algum nível de renda discricionária. Essa prosperidade relativa facilitou o surgimento de uma cultura de consumo, com a produção em massa tornando bens como roupas e jornais mais acessíveis. Era Vitoriana.
