A language function is a purpose you wish to achieve when you say or write something. If you say ‘I invite you’, you are performing the function of inviting. Of course you could also say ‘D’you want to come to the cinema?’ to make an invitation. There are many ways of inviting, apologising, agreeing, giving advice, asking for information etc.
If our students want to express themselves in speaking or writing, they need to know to perform these functions – in other words, how to use grammar and vocabulary to express certain meanings/ purposes.
(Jeremy Harmer. How to teach English, 1998. Adaptado)
The same function can be performed at different levels of formality, depending on the situation and
the intimacy between speakers. There is an adequate choice of grammar and vocabulary in the function ‘making a
recommendation’ in the situation illustrated in:
A Digital Learning Platform (DLP) is one effective avenue for enhancing language learning. It connects real learning resources with the digital world for teaching and learning. By converting as many physical learning resources into digital formats as possible, the DLP offers an innovative combination of different learning concepts and structures. It can also ensure that different groups of learners have equal access to learning resources through interaction, communication, and knowledge sharing.
DLPs have transformed English language learning with their numerous advantages, although there are also some notable drawbacks. These platforms offer unmatched accessibility and flexibility, enabling learners to access materials anytime and anywhere and to progress at their own pace. They feature diverse resources such as videos, interactive exercises, quizzes, and reading materials, with multimedia integration enhancing comprehension and retention. Personalized learning experiences are supported through adaptive technologies and immediate feedback. Gamification and interactive activities boost engagement and motivation, while cost-effectiveness and global networking opportunities are notable benefits.
However, there are downsides to consider. Digital platforms may lack the personal touch and immediate feedback of face-to-face interactions, potentially reducing social learning opportunities. Technical issues such as internet reliability and online distractions can pose barriers, requiring learners to stay disciplined and motivated. Quality and credibility can vary, raising concerns about fraudulent or poorly designed courses. Assessment challenges, including cheating and assessing practical language skills, also exist. Moreover, self-study can sometimes leave learners feeling isolated and struggling with complex topics. Balancing digital resources with other learning methods can help address these challenges and ensure a more comprehensive language learning experience.

Assinale a alternativa que indica a sequência correta, de cima para baixo.
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.

Valdivia Figurines and the appeal of 'the oldest'
(1º§) The logo for the Ecuadorian Ministry of Culture website is about my favourite thing of the afternoon which is saying a lot since I spent much of the day reading about giant Olmec heads. Three Valdivia Figurines in the colours of the Ecuadorian flag? I am sold! Golly, I love Valdivia figurines for all the right and all the wrong reasons.
(2º§) There are two things that can easily be said about Valdivia figurines: they are VERY Ecuadorian and they are VERY looted. The first explains why they appear prominently on the Ministry of Culture website (and on stencilled graffiti around Quito circa 2007). Ancient Ecuador has played second fiddle to Ancient Peru since the early days of archaeology. The Valdivia culture, however, represents something that Peru doesn't have, 'the oldest'. Everyone loves 'the oldest', national pride, etc. etc.
(3º§) Who else loves 'the oldest'? Collectors and Museums. If the Valdivia pottery sequence is the oldest in the new world, collectors want a slice of that pie. Heck, even better than some junky pottery, the Valdivia made interesting figurines: lovely ladies that look good on stark black backgrounds in auction catalogues. They are part of 'the oldest' yet they also look good.
(4º§) Valdivia sites are famously looted and Valdivia figurines are famously faked. A few years back I started doing some initial work into looting in Ecuador (which led to fieldwork in Quito and the cloud forest that didn't really go anywhere as of yet) and I, like anyone else going down that road, came across Bruhns and Hammond's 1983 Journal of Field Archaeology piece 'A Visit to Valdivia'. Knowing nothing at all about Ecuador at the time, I had never heard of Valdivia, a wonder since the only Ecuadorian archaeology books that Cambridge owns are a few by the late Betty Meggars and Emilio Estrada from the 1950s and 1960s which link uber-ancient Ecuador to Jomon Period Japan (yeah...I know). As Bruhns and Hammond relate, Meggars detected faking at Valdivia immediately after the start of her excavations: practical jokers who discovered a market for their copies. As the market for the pieces grew, the presumed fakes get more and more elaborate and fanciful...and Valdivia sites were just looted to pieces.
(5º§) So really with Valdivia we are left with a situation where we don't know what is real. It is directly comparable to the Cycladic Figurine problem: the corpus is mostly looted, it contains tons of forms not found in the limited archaeological excavations that have been conducted, and we intellectual consumers of artefacts don't know what to believe. To me Valdivia figurines are the perfect looting Catch 22: they warrant study so that the interested public can learn about 'the oldest', but they can't be studied because collectors wanted 'the oldest' so sites were looted and buckets of fakes were produced.
(6º§) In 2007 I bought a fake Valdivia figurine in Otavalo which now stands in a Spondylus shell on my counter and watches me cook. The fella selling it to me told me it was real. I knew it wasn't but made to put it back saying something along the lines that law breaking makes me sick. He quickly agreed that it wasn't real and cut his asking price by a ton. Que Sera. Three cheers, Ecuadorian Ministry of Culture, your logo is the best.
