In accordance with the Brazilian National Curriculum
Base (BNCC), the integration of plurilingualism and the
recognition of English as a lingua franca are essential
components of language education in Brazil, reflecting
the nation's commitment to fostering communicative
competence and cultural diversity in the English
classroom. About plurilingualism and English as a lingua
franca, observe the following statements and choose the
correct one:
The audiolingual method, also known as fundamental skill method, aural-oral method or Army method, came as a result of the need for American soldiers who were to travel overseas to communicate in foreign languages during the Second World War. To this end, bits and pieces of the Direct Method were appropriated in order to enhance this method. The audiolingual method draws its practices from linguistic and psychological theory that investigates different language using scientific descriptive analytic approach.

Considering the previous excerpt as a context, it is correct to affirm that, in the audiolingual method,
According to the Base Nacional
Comum Curricular (BNCC, 2018), the teaching of the
English language must:

Pedagogy takes into account?
An educator teaching a diverse graduate-level class aims to foster a collaborative and inclusive learning environment that accommodates various cultural backgrounds, learning styles, and abilities. She seeks to implement evidence-based strategies that not only encourage mutual respect and understanding among students but also actively engage them in the learning process. Which of the following approaches best achieves this goal by integrating principles of social interdependence theory and universal design for learning (UDL)?
Predicting the unpredictable
Some years ago, a devastating earthquake struck the Italian town of L’Aquila. More than 300 people lost their lives, over 1,500 people were injured, and many buildings were destroyed. Two years later, seven earthquake experts were involved in a court case: Did they adequately warn the public after the initial tremors began? At the heart of the debate is whether they could have predicted a disaster like this.
Although a lot of scientists are working to improve our ability to predict natural disasters, so far no one has come up with a reliable method to forecast earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, days or weeks beforehand. Most of the research focuses on the areas most likely to experience seismic activity – but even our knowledge about where these areas are, is very limited. One reason for this is that human beings have only been around for a very small part of the Earth’s history. In geological terms, we all arrived on the scene very recently. Records from the past 2,000 years are incomplete, and the biggest earthquakes nearly always happen in areas where there have been no earthquakes in recorded history.
So, is there any hope for improving our ability to predict disasters? A solution may come from an unexpected source. Four years ago, a team of US physicists at Rutgers University in New Jersey were studying why pharmaceutical powders stick together. They observed that the powder stuck together when placed in a spinning cylinder, but then developed cracks and collapsed. Just before the cracks developed, an electric signal, like a small bolt of lightning, was created. The scientists repeated the experiment with a wide range of different materials, and they got similar results every time.
This phenomenon might also exist in nature. Some scientists believe that rocks may become electrically charged under unusual pressure, such as before an earthquake. This electric charge then causes changes in the surrounding air or water, which animals may be able to sense before humans do. For example, while biologists were studying a colony of frogs in a pond near L’Aquila, they noticed that nearly all the animals left the water days before the earthquake. A similar thing happened in China, when snakes were hibernating for the winter in caves, but escaped just before a large earthquake. The same kind of electric charge, like the small bolt of lightning felt in the experiment at Rutgers, may have been responsible.
At the moment, there is no reliable way ............ using such findings to predict earthquakes, and further studies may be necessary to give us a better understanding of the interactions involved, but one day, the technology may be used ............ predict future catastrophes. For example, two science institutions in Russia and Britain are already developing a new micro-satellite, which could detect these electric signals and help rescue people ................ natural disasters in time. Scientists are planning to launch the first of these satellites ............... space. Will these satellites be the solution? Only time will tell. For the time being, the best defense is to be prepared.
Active Learning Strategy is a teaching technique
that increases student engagement in daily lessons.
This technique can also help teachers to become more
actively engaged in how they teach the curriculum and
how they develop each student’s learning potential.

when it involves:
Aponte a opção correta que descreve melhor uma técnica utilizada na abordagem comunicativa de ensino de línguas, (Communicative Language Teaching - CLT).
In the Communicative Language Teaching approach, teachers focus on __________ to help students develop the ability to use the language in real-life situations.
An English teacher wants to improve students' ability to
infer meaning in complex reading passages. She decides
to use a combination of strategies, including teaching
context clues, analyzing tone, and practicing identifying
theme. Which of the following approaches would bestalign with these strategies?
Consider the following analysis of the word

Didatics is essential to the pedagogical practices, and the
teacher must be organized and flexible when approaching
a subject in class. This concept can only be abandoned
when there is no interest at all from the students, only
then should the teacher use expositive lessons to get
through the subject.
How does the inclusion of English in Brazil's Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) reflect a shift in the role of foreign language
education, and what are its potential implications for students' global engagement?
According to Stephen Krashen's Input Hypothesis, which
of the following classroom practices would most
effectively provide "comprehensible input" to help
students naturally acquire English structures slightly
beyond their current proficiency level (i + 1)?
Em muitas partes do mundo, a maioria dos utilizadores do inglês como língua franca é formada por não nativos que não dominam a gramática padrão e aspectos do seu léxico e de sua pronúncia. Conceber o inglês como o idioma da globalização na sua função de língua franca desestabiliza conceitos reducionistas que sempre limitaram língua a padrões subjetivos. As características do inglês como língua franca, potencialmente, contestam as questões mitológicas da pronúncia correta e desorganiza, entre vários aspectos, a ideia estapafúrdia de uma suposta hierarquia cultural.

Teaching Reading Techniques and Strategies in English Language
1.Skimmingis one of the tools that can be used to read efficiently. Skimming refers to looking only for the general or main ideas, and works best with nonfiction (or factual) material. With skimming, the overall understanding is reduced because the reader does not read everything. The reader reads only what is important for the purpose.
2.Scanningmeans reading slowly and carefully and picking out certain key words or phrases. It allows you to pick out specific information from a text. It does not mean reading word by word, it just means reading carefully. For scanning to be successful, it is needed to understand how the material is structured as well as comprehend what is read so the reader can locate the specific information they need. Scanning also allows to find details and other information in a hurry.
3.Predictionis fundamental to comprehension. According to Duffy (2003), predicting is the strategy most relied upon as we begin reading. Good readers anticipate meaning. They do this by predicting what they think is going to happen in the selection and by revising their predictions as they read. Students rely on previous study and experiences to make educated guesses about material to be read.

( ) solicitar aos alunos que identifiquem rapidamente no texto o ano em que a Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) declarou a pandemia de COVID-19 no mundo.
( ) pedir para que os alunos encontrem a opinião de um especialista presente no texto.
( ) fornecer o assunto do texto e pedir para que os alunos façam em grupo um mapa mental sobre o tema, de forma a checar posteriormente se as informações trazidas no mapa estão no texto.
