On January 13, 2025, a bill was signed into law to regulate students’ use of personal portable electronic devices, including cell phones, in public and private schools in Brazil. (Law No. 15,100.) It came into force upon its publication in the January 14 edition of Brazil’s official gazette.

The law, which applies in elementary, middle, and high schools, prohibits the use of portable electronic devices by students during classes, recess, and breaks. It provides that teachers may allow use of such devices for pedagogical purposes. The law allows their use in cases of danger or emergency. It also permits their use for purposes of ensuring accessibility and inclusion, addressing health conditions, and ensuring fundamental rights. (Arts. 2, 3.)

The stated purpose of the law is to safeguard the mental, physical, and psychological health of children and adolescents. (Art. 1.) It requires schools to develop strategies to address students’ mental health, including preventing excessive use of devices and inappropriate content. They must also offer training for personnel to detect signs of psychological distress and create spaces to support those suffering mental distress from the excessive use of electronic devices. (Art. 4.)

A language ecosystem describes a holistic environment that encourages and extends the learning and application of language beyond the classroom. While an ecosystem is a simple concept, there are a few things to keep in mind. Here are quick tips to get you started.

The concept of exploring is at the center of attention here for good reason. Your mission (should you choose to accept it) is to find and gather resources that are potential candidates for your language ecosystem. It is not unlike going shopping for furniture, in that you want to find items that will match your personal preference and lifestyle in a natural way. As you search for items to “add” to your ecosystem, you will want to consider how well they function in your life or home.

You might be wondering how one begins a search to find resources. I primarily use search engines, social media, streaming video, and music to look for resources that might work. I am not the only one, however, who has learned to keep an eye out for resources. Since inviting many of my own friends to learn a language with me, many people now send me links to things I might like.

Speaking of people, one of the most essential strategies in forming a language ecosystem is finding the right people to join you on your journey. I call this “forming a language learning network.” While fluent speakers are an excellent resource, I also find that fellow language learners, people who are learning the language just like me, are more patient conversation partners. Finally, I often find that people who share my same interests (say, French cooking, for example), can be excellent companions for listening and speaking practice.
