Conclusions and Recommendations


    Given the panorama of English instruction in Brazil, particularly in the states of Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso, and considering the results of the surveys conducted with universities and teachers in both states, some conclusions and recommendations could be drawn.

    Nationally, English instruction has been gaining importance and visibility through curriculum reform and the new model of upper secondary school. It is an enormously significant achievement that, for the first time, English has become mandatory in all public and private schools from 6th grade onward. The BNCC offers clarity on the competencies and abilities that students should develop at each education level. However, if, on the one hand, making English compulsory was an important step, on the other hand, the implementation of this policy is still incomplete. The main issue is the limited amount of instructional time in English in the national curriculum guidelines. As the cases of Mato Grosso and Minas Gerais illustrate, the result is that students have insufficient exposure to the language, with only two classes per week in secondary schools and one class per week in upper secondary. Under these conditions, it is unlikely that learners will develop full proficiency in the language, and teachers will have the instructional time to focus on all the necessary competencies and abilities required by the BNCC.

    Another important consideration is the link between initial training for English teachers and how it interacts with the routines and challenges of the classroom. There is room for improvement when considering the mismatch between the programs of study at universities and the pedagogical practice required of English teachers and strengthened ties and communication between State Education Departments and the teacher training programs at universities.

    Universities face additional challenges, such as the low English proficiency of students in the initial training courses. Initial training institutions face difficulties in thoroughly preparing future teachers regarding language proficiency and the pedagogical elements related to being an effective teacher. In this sense, the situation can create a vicious cycle; students leave schools with a low proficiency level in English, and those who decide to take the initial training courses to become English teachers and enter universities cannot fully develop proficiency as pedagogical competencies. Therefore, they enter schools not fully prepared to be teachers and face all the challenges of a classroom.

    Another critical challenge is class size and the heterogeneity of students’ ability levels, which could limit teachers’ ability to implement some pedagogical practices, such as working with practicing speaking. This is not only a challenge faced by English teachers, but all teachers and that policymakers need to keep in mind. In addition, teachers commonly work in more than one school at a time and sometimes teach other subjects to meet the required hours of instructional time stipulated in their contracts.

   The surveys with teachers demonstrated that many have never participated in a professional development session specifically designed for English teachers. For those who have, not all considered the helpful training to improve their knowledge and practice. This points to the fact that more attention needs to be paid to the continuous training courses offered to English teachers. These training courses should be frequent and address specific challenges, taking into account the pedagogical issues and areas that English teachers identify as most critical.

    Briefly, it is important to highlight the windows of opportunity that have been opened in Brazil with the BNCC and the new upper secondary model. Through their education ministries, state governments have made significant efforts to adapt their regional curricula to the competencies and abilities listed on the BNCC and implement the first pilots and designed pathways for upper secondary schools. It remains a question of how the rest of those two processes will be implemented, but there are positive signs that English may gain more importance at a national level. At least in Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso, there is already a movement to increase the importance of the discipline.

    While Minas Gerais has developed a few specific training courses for English teachers focused on improving their pedagogical knowledge through the program “Pathways for Educators” and intends to create a training pathway for upper secondary students focused in English, Mato Grosso has implemented English in all primary schools in the state and launched the program “More English,” with resources to help teachers and students. Those efforts are aligned with the national reforms and illustrate the political willingness of states to promote more actions to improve teachers’ and students’ proficiency in English.

    In these states and, to some extent, at the national level, the foundations have been set to put English instruction in the spotlight as a crucial discipline to the integral development of students. However, much work and resources are still needed to realize this goal. Therefore, the following recommendations are intended to advise decision-makers at universities and State Education Departments.

Away across the waves, he struggled and kept his guard up

Text for the question.

    In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, IT professionals are increasingly playing a pivotal role in enhancing the fields of physiotherapy and occupational therapy. By integrating advanced technology into therapeutic practices, IT experts are helping to create innovative solutions that improve patient outcomes and streamline clinical processes.
    One significant contribution is the development of sophisticated software and applications that enable therapists to design personalized treatment plans. These digital tools allow for precise tracking of patient progress, making it easier to adjust therapies in real‑time based on data analytics. For instance, motion‑sensing technology and wearable devices can monitor a patient’s physical movements during exercises, providing immediate feedback to both the therapist and the patient.
    Additionally, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are revolutionizing rehabilitation methods. IT professionals are creating immersive VR environments where patients can perform therapeutic exercises in a controlled, engaging setting. This approach is particularly beneficial for those recovering from injuries or surgeries, as it can make repetitive exercises more enjoyable and less monotonous.
    Telehealth platforms are another area where IT expertise is crucial. These platforms enable remote consultations and therapy sessions, ensuring that patients have access to care regardless of their location. IT professionals ensure that these systems are secure, user‑friendly, and efficient, thereby expanding the reach of physiotherapists and occupational therapists.
    Moreover, data security and patient confidentiality are paramount in healthcare. IT professionals implement robust cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive patient information. By doing so, they help maintain trust and compliance with regulatory standards, ensuring that therapeutic practices are both effective and safe.
    In conclusion, the collaboration between IT professionals and therapists is fostering a new era of healthcare where technology and therapy converge. This synergy not only enhances the quality of care but also empowers patients on their journey to recovery, demonstrating the invaluable role of IT in advancing physiotherapy and occupational therapy.
In the sentence, “Motion‑sensing technology and wearable devices can monitor a patient’s physical movements during exercises, providing immediate feedback to both the therapist and the patient,” the word “immediate” is a/an

Action for Global Health publishes Stocktake Review


Unlimit Health is a proud member of Action for Global Health (AfGH), an influential network of more than 50 organisations working towards a world where health equity is achieved and everyone has access to the quality healthcare they need without being forced into financial hardship.

Harnessing the expertise and strength of its members and partners, including people with lived experience of health inequity globally and civil society organisations based in low- and middle-income countries, AfGH works to secure political action and commitments in the UK to improve health equity globally.

Today, AfGH publishes the Stocktake Review. This report, created with the support of its membership and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, provides an assessment and a series of recommendations for the UK’s role in global health.

Reflecting on the report, Wendy Harrison, Unlimit Health’s CEO said, “While the UK Government has long been committed to global health, this commitment should be supported through implementation plans and financial allocations, to achieve healthy outcomes for all. Recent cuts to UK overseas aid have impacted negatively on people affected by neglected tropical diseases and other health inequities, and set back efforts to strengthen health systems. As members of Action for Global Health, we call on the UK Government to maintain their world leading role in providing long-term, bold pledges to key global health goals and partnerships, stepping up efforts to build resilient, inclusive and strong health systems.”

The review provides a snapshot of the UK Government’s current political, financial and programmatic commitments to global health, as well as reviewing progress towards recommendations made in the previous Stocktake Review.

Capital One Sued Over Consumer-Data Disclosures to Meta, Google


Capital One Financial Corp. is facing a proposed class action alleging the financial giant disclosed the personal and financial information of millions of consumers to Meta Platforms Inc., Google LLC, Microsoft Corp., and other third parties without their consent in violation of state and federal privacy laws.

Vishal Shah and three other named plaintiffs accused Capital One of “knowingly and secretly” installing online tracking tools from third-party software providers and data-analytics companies on its website, allowing those third parties to collect information arising from consumer visits there.

Data allegedly disclosed to the third parties included information arising from consumers’ interactions with the website, information about bank and credit card accounts, information disclosed on credit card application forms, and employment information, according to the complaint filed Monday in the US District Court for the Northern District of California. Other third parties identified in the complaint included DoubleClick Inc., NewRelic Inc., Adobe Inc., Everest Technologies Inc., Kenshoo Ltd., Snowplow Analytics Ltd., BioCatch Inc., and Tealium Inc.

No third party is named as a defendant.

Meta’s Facebook and the others used the information for their own purposes, including for marketing and advertising, and made further disclosures to other third parties “who will profit off of the use of that information,” the complaint said. The plaintiffs seek to represent a nationwide class and a California subclass of people whose information was disclosed by Capital One without their consent.

The complaint alleges negligence, negligence per se, invasion of privacy, breach of express contract, breach of implied contract, unjust enrichment, bailment, breach of confidence, declaratory judgment, and violations of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the California Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act, the Consumer Protection Law, the Consumer Privacy Act, the Customer Records Act, and the Invasion of Privacy Act. The plaintiffs are seeking actual, compensatory, statutory, and punitive damages; three years of credit-monitoring services for class members; restitution and disgorgement; attorneys’ fees and costs; and pre- and post-judgment interest.

Who wants a therapist who’s robotic? But a robot therapist?


Imagine feeling overwhelmed and in need of someone to talk to, but no one is available. You have no idea what to do, who to talk to and what to say. Chatbot AI is your new best friend. Essentially, it can take over basic human interaction and problems, answering even the most absurd questions. An artificial intelligence chatbot provides support and guidance. But there are some aspects that AI can not replace, things like having a physical person in front of you. Still, you feel a bit better knowing you have some support. The 1980s were referred to as the rapid “AI boom.” Joseph Weizenbaum, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, developed the first chatbot to simulate an entertaining human conversation. He envisioned it as taking on the persona of a psychotherapist. Its original purpose was “to make machines use language, form abstractions and concepts, solve the kinds of problems now reserved for humans and improve themselves.” Ideally, a user would input a message on an electric typewriter linked to a mainframe, and shortly after, the “psychotherapist” would respond. Decades later, in 2017, chatbots finally became recognized as a stable form of communication. Because of continuous innovations in technology, chatbots have been created as a type of artificial intelligence application that poses as a sort of digital friend that you can lean on.
