The BNCC document (Base Nacional Comum Curricular), implemented in 2017 for the Elementary Education in Brazil, establishes 5 (five) organizing axes that guide the teaching of the English Language component. Considering what the aforementioned document says about these axes, read the statements below, and assign T (True) or F (False) to each statement.

(__)In the Orality axis, the BNCC prioritizes the use of media resources that bring a more standardized variant of the English language, with the aim of avoiding harm to the student's comprehension and learning, prioritizing oral practices without face-to-face contact, in order to avoid exposing students to an accent or slang that might hinder the learning process of a correct variant of English.
(__)With regard to the Writing axis, the BNCC recommends text production practices that involve movements that are sometimes collective, sometimes individual, of planning-production-revision, in which decisions are made and evaluated about the ways of communicating what is desired, keeping in mind aspects such as the objective of the text, the support that will allow its social circulation and its possible readers.
(__)The Intercultural Dimension axis points, among other things, to the importance of problematizing the different roles of the English language itself in the world, its values, its reach, and its effects on relations between different people and peoples, both in contemporary society and from a historical perspective.
(__)The Linguistic Knowledge axis prioritizes the study of the correct form of the English Language as indicated in grammars, which is the appropriate norm established by language scholars, who are the most specialized professionals to indicate how one should speak. Furthermore, this axis recommends studying the language in isolation, to avoid comparisons with the Portuguese Language, for example, or any other languages the student knows other than English.
(__)The Reading axis, in turn, includes, among its guidelines, working with verbal and hybrid genres, mainly enhanced by digital media, as this work makes it possible to experience, in a meaningful and situated way, different modes of reading and different reading goals.

Select the alternative with the correct sequence of T's and F's:

Regarding the Content and Language Integrated Learning approach (CLIL), read the statements below:

I.It is an approach in which a subject and a language are taught simultaneously.
II.In this approach, it is important to learn the language detached from a specific context, so that the student is able to speak the new language whenever or wherever they need to do so.
III.With this approach, the student does not dedicate time to simply learning a language, such as a traditional foreign language class, the focus is on the subject matter at hand being taught in the target language.
IV.This approach has the advantage of potentially increasing motivation, because the student is learning about a subject he is interested in, so they are likely to pay attention because they truly want to learn about the subject.
V.This approach is considered successful if a student manages to memorize a list of words or full sentences he can use while speaking to a foreign person. After reading these statements, select the correct alternative:

Regarding methods and approaches to teaching the English language, correctly match the columns listed below to their corresponding methodological principles and practices, and then select the alternative that presents the correct order.

First column: methods

1.Direct Method
2.Audiolingual Method
3.Communicative Language Teaching
4.Lexical Approach
5.Community Language Learning

Second column: methodological principles and practices

(__)It involves teaching individual collocations of units, marking students aware of collocation, extending what students already know by adding knowledge of collocation restrictions to known vocabulary and storing collocations on a notebook.
(__)Language learning is learning to communicate, and the target linguistic system will be learned through the process of struggling to communicate.
(__)Classroom instruction is conducted exclusively in the target language, correct pronunciation and grammar are emphasized, while grammar is taught inductively.
(__)It focuses on oral skills, and the teaching of listening comprehension, pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary are all related to the development of oral fluency.
(__)It can combine tasks such as group work, recording of the students' conversations in the target language, group or class reflections and reports regarding their experience of the class, and free conversation between learners or learners and teacher.

Select the option that presents the correct order of the associations:

Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) and active methodologies share pedagogical principles that place the student at the center of the learning process. Mark T for true statements and F for false ones:

(__)Both value the student as a protagonist and active agent in their learning, rather than as a passive receiver of information.

(__)Activities such as information gap and role play, common in CLT, are examples of active methodologies, as they require interaction and problem-solving.

(__)Active methodologies, such as Problem-Based Learning (PBL), require students to use the target language (English) authentically to collaborate and find solutions.

(__)The only goal of active methodologies and CLT is fun, with no concern for the development of linguistic or cognitive competencies.


Select the alternative that shows the correct sequence, from top to bottom:

The teaching of grammar and vocabulary in the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach differs from traditional methods. Mark T for true statements and F for false ones:

(__)Vocabulary should be presented and practiced in meaningful contexts, preferably through lexical fields (e.g., "food," "travel"), rather than as isolated word lists.

(__)Grammar should be taught in context, showing how structures are used to perform communicative functions (e.g., asking for permission, giving advice).

(__)The goal of grammar teaching in CLT is exclusively the explicit knowledge of rules (metalinguistic knowledge), even if the student cannot use them in communication.

(__)Grammatical or vocabulary errors should always be corrected, interrupting the learner's fluency, even during free communication activities.


Select the alternative that shows the correct sequence, from top to bottom:

In teaching culture in English classes, it is essential to avoid stereotypes and promote a broad, critical perspective. Analyze the following statements:

I.The intercultural approach to teaching culture focuses on comparing the learner's own culture with the cultures of English-speaking countries (the "big C," such as literature and history, and the "small c," such as customs and daily life), encouraging reflection.

II.The teaching of culture should be limited to presenting isolated facts and celebrating holidays (such as Halloween), without connection to language use or students' realities.

III.The concept of "English-speaking countries" should be limited to the United States and the United Kingdom, disregarding the diversity of English as an official or lingua franca language in countries such as India, South Africa, Nigeria, or Singapore.


The correct statement(s) is(are):

In the teaching of pronunciation in English as a Lingua Franca (ELF), the pedagogical focus shifts in relation to the native-speaker model. Analyze the following statements:

I.The main goal of pronunciation teaching from an ELF perspective is intelligibility, that is, the speaker's ability to be understood by other speakers (native or non-native).

II.The ELF approach values the diversity of accents, as long as communication is not hindered, and does not aim at imitating a specific accent (e.g., British or American) as a target.

III.Pronunciation teaching in ELF should focus on both segmental (sounds) and suprasegmental (rhythm, intonation, stress) features that are crucial for mutual understanding.

The correct statements are:
