    Brazil’s National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) and the training of English language teachers: challenges and possibilities

    1. “It is essential to say that these axes, although treated separately in the BNCC's explication,
    2. are intrinsically linked to the social practices of English language and should be worked out
    3. in the learning situations proposed in the school context. In other words, it is the language in
    4. use, always hybrid, polyphonic and variable that leads to the study of its specific
    5. characteristics, and should not be any axis, especially that of linguistic knowledge, treated
    6. as a prerequisite for this use” (BRASIL, 2017, p. 243).

    TEXT I -

    The World English(es) and linguistic diversity in the English language class:

    proposal of a didactic activity

    ABSTRACT

    1. Due to the process of colonization of the British Empire and the current economic and
    2. cultural impact of the United States, it is not difficult to find discourses that associate the
    3. English language exclusively with these people. However, with globalization and
    4. technological advances, authors such as Crystal (2003) argue that the English language is
    5. currently a global language, since it has a prominent role around the world, including in the
    6. educational environment. Nonetheless, such a reach of the English language does not
    7. make it, in fact, conceived as a language of all, which may even influence the learning of
    8. English as an additional language. In such manner, we find the World English(es)
    9. (BOLTON, 2006; RAJAGOPALAN, 2005), perspective that promotes a plural conception
    10. of the English language, providing a vision of this language according to a perspective of
    11. multiplicity. Thus, the aim of this article is to discuss how the World English(es) can be a
    12. tool in the dissemination of linguistic diversity in the English class. In addition, a didactic
    13. activity of English teaching will be presented, formulated through the content-based
    14. approach (LEFFA, 2016), based on the prism of the World English(es) and linguistic
    15. plurality.

    Keywords: World English(es); Linguistic diversity; English language teaching; Didactic activity.

    The Audio-Lingual Method, like the Direct Method is also an oral-based approach. However, it is very different in that rather than emphasizing vocabulary acquisition through exposure to its use in situations, the Audio-Lingual Method drills students in the use of grammatical sentence patterns. It also, unlike the Direct Method, has a strong theoretical base in linguistics and psychology. Charles Fries (1945) of the University of Michigan led the way in applying principles from structural linguistics in developing the method. and for this reason, it has sometimes been referred to as the 'Michigan Method'. Later in its development, principles from behavior al psychology (Skinner 1957) were incorporated. It was thought that the way to acquire the sentence parterns of the target language was through conditioning- helping learners to respond correctly to stimuli through shaping and reinforcement. Learners could over come the habits of their native language and form the new habits required to be target language speakers.

    O texto seguinte servirá de base para responder às questões de 1 a 5.

    (1º§) Over the summer a video went viral on TikTok. It was captioned "using this trend to get a new LinkedIn headshot". In the short clip, a young woman shows both how she looks in real life, and the professional-looking headshot photos that she created using an AI-powered app called Remini. The video has now been watched 52.3 million times, and a host of similar ones from other TikTokers have also been extensively viewed. Remini, and competitors such as Try It On AI and AI Suit Up, use AI-based software to create slick profile photos that aim to look as if they were taken by an expert photographer. With Remini you are asked to upload eight to 10 selfies, preferably taken from different angles, and all in good lighting. The AI uses those pictures to learn about the way you look.

    (2º§) Then just a few minutes later it will start creating artificial photos of you looking very smart and even glamorous, with your hair in different styles or positions, and you wearing different clothes while sitting in perfect lighting. It also gives you faultless skin, and improves your make-up. Plus, you get different backdrops. And some users find that it makes them look thinner.

    (3º§) The results are somewhat in the eye of the beholder - some say they are realistic, while others find that the images look artificial. But while previous online image manipulation trends, such as drastically changing your hair or eye colour, have been about having fun on social media, this one is very much focused on LinkedIn and other job hunting websites.

    (4º§) For some the attraction of the AI services is that they are cheap. Divya Shishodia, 24, a digital marketer, from Australia, says that while AI headshots "are obviously generated, some people might not have the budget to go and get a professional headshot taken". While going to a professional photographer can cost more than £100, Remini and the other providers will generally give you free trials lasting a few days. "I'm not saying they're the most realistic, but for the amount of time and effort you have to put in... the output is worth it," says Ms Shishodia. She adds that, by contrast, if you try to take a decent profile photo yourself it can be very difficult. "You need angles, lighting, you are trying to avoid shadows... only actual photographers can do it."

    (5º§) For Michelle Genobisa, 26, from Aalborg, Denmark, it is the low to no cost of the AI generated profile photos that she is on board with. "I quite often change my looks, like my hair colour... so it was an easy way to collect some pictures with the effect of a professional photoshoot," she says. "To get that kind of photo taken, professionally, it's very expensive."

    (6º§) Others are less impressed by the technology, such as Molly McCrann, a 25-year-old actor from Australia. "I just think it looks so fake, you can tell that it looks heavily edited, or it looks like AI," she says. "When I posted mine it made me look so skinny, and I don't look like that." Ms McCrann adds that she thinks it is probably better to show prospective employers what you actually look like.

    (7º§) However, she is also prepared to see the other side of the argument. "Someone wrote a comment that I actually agree with - if this company is going to base off looks, I want to get in the room. And if this is going to get me in the room, then I am going to use AI headshots to get the interview." But what about the potential impact that AI-improved images can have on our self-esteem? Consumer psychologist Dr Paul Marsden says there are two sides to the issue. "On one hand it could allow us to put our best self forward, and the image of ourselves that we want to project to the world, and in turn motivate us to be that way inclined in real life," he tells the BBC. "The psychology of first impressions is how we make snap decisions based on initial impressions, and by using AI people can put themselves in the running to potentially be considered for an opportunity. On the other hand it could affect people's self-worth and beliefs that they themselves are not good enough comparatively to their AI generation resulting in low confidence."

    (8º§) Do recruiters care? Tristan Barthel from London-based Tate Recruitment has seen a big rise in the number of people using AI to improve their photos. He says that it makes no difference in how he deals with a person's application. "I can see if a picture has been AI generated, and it wouldn't affect my decision, for me it's about the qualifications."

    Half a century ago, the astronauts of Apollo 17 spent three days on that pockmarked orb, whose gravitational pull tugs not just on our oceans but our imaginations. For 75 hours, the astronauts moonwalked in their spacesuits and rode in a lunar rover, with humanity watching on television sets 240,000 miles away. The Apollo program was shuttered after they splashed back down to the Pacific Ocean in December 1972, and since then, the moon has hung, uncharted and empty, a siren in the sky.

    TEXTO III

    Nobel Prize in Chemistry Awarded to 3 Scientists for Exploring the Nanoworld1

    Three pioneering scientists, Moungi G. Bawendi, Louis E. Brus, and Alexei I. Ekimov, have been honored with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their groundbreaking work on quantum dots, which are semiconductor particles small enough to significantly alter their electron behavior. These quantum dots, comprising only a few thousand atoms, have applications ranging from enhancing LED lights to potential advancements in solar cells and quantum information encryption.

    Semiconductors, essential in powering our modern electronics, traditionally consist of large molecular-level crystals. However, quantum dots are vastly smaller. To provide perspective, the Nobel Foundation likened the size difference between a quantum dot and a soccer ball to that between a soccer ball and the Earth.

    These nanoscale dots are now utilized in LED lights to refine color and in televisions to improve resolution. Additionally, they hold potential in the biomedical field, such as in cancer tissue removal. Despite initial skepticism regarding the feasibility of creating such minuscule particles, this year’s laureates prevailed. Their achievement, particularly Bawendi’s method for crafting specific size, high-quality nanoparticles, has propelled technological applications like QLED screens and various imaging in biochemistry and medicine.

    However, the announcement of this year's laureates was surrounded by unusual circumstances. Before the official statement from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Swedish media sources leaked the information, citing an email mistakenly sent early from the Academy.

    About the winners: Dr. Bawendi, a professor at MIT and a former postdoc under Dr. Brus, was born in France. Dr. Brus, a professor emeritus at Columbia University, was born in the U.S. Dr. Ekimov, once the chief scientist at Nanocrystals Technology in New York, was born in the former Soviet Union.

    Their achievements in the realm of nanotechnology have enabled the exploration of distinct properties of extremely small matter, and have had profound implications in various technological domains. Their efforts in the 1980s, which led to the creation of quantum dots, needed further refinement before technological applications could be realized. Their work is regarded as monumental in bridging theoretical concepts with real-world applications. According to the American Chemical Society’s president, Judith Giordan, their discoveries are not just of academic interest but aim to benefit humanity at large.

    Upon winning the prize, Dr. Bawendi expressed surprise and honor, emphasizing the significance of sharing the award with his mentor, Dr. Brus. Other notable winners this year include Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for their contributions to Covid-19 vaccine development in the Physiology or Medicine category, and Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz, and Anne L’Huillier in Physics.

    Text 8 (questions 26 and 28)

    THE ROLE OF TEXTBOOKS IN A LANGUAGE PROGRAM

    Textbooks are a key component in most language programs. In some situations they serve as the basis for much of the language input learners receive and the language practice that occurs in the classroom. They may provide the basis for the content of the lessons, the balance of skills taught and the kinds of language practice the students take part in. in other situations, the textbook may serve primarily to supplement the teacher’s instruction. For learners, the textbook may provide the major source of contact they have with the language apart from input provided by the teacher. In the case of inexperienced teachers, textbooks may also serve as a form of teacher training. – they provide ideas on how to plan and teach lessons as well as formats that teachers can use. Much of the language teaching that occurs throughout the world today could not take place without the extensive use of commercial textbooks. Learning how to use and adapt textbooks is hence an important part of a teacher’s professional knowledge.

    Text 7 (questions 23 and 25)

    Imagine Joseph Paxton’s Great Victorian Way in Sydenham, a 10-mile stretch of glass and brightly painted iron arcades with its own snaking elevated railway. Or a National Cemetery on Primrose Hill, London’s answer to Paris’s Père Lachaise. Or Hyde Park Corner with a huge art deco music hall. Or White City with a vast expressionist towerscape designed by the German visionary Eric Mendelssohn. If architects’ imaginings had become reality, London could have been a completely different place.

    The game of what-ifs in architecture is addictive. The organisers of a new Hayward Gallery touring exhibition had the brilliant idea of exploring the never-never land of building, drawing on the collections of the Royal Institute of British Architects and the Victoria and Albert museum. So many of these visions are a great deal more exciting than the buildings we actually got. In Liverpool, instead of Paddy’s wigwam and Gibberd’s gimcrack (and now sadly deteriorating) Roman Catholic cathedral, we might have had the grand and wonderful Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King by Lutyens. In the Strand, instead of George Edmund Street’s relatively makeshift Law Courts, we could have had Alfred Waterhouse’s much more ambitious and romantic urban concept: a magnificent assembly of pitched roofs, towers and walkways, Turneresque in its drama when viewed across the Thames. Waterhouse’s courts fell foul of the Victorian competition system. The designs remain to haunt us.
