Language Assessment and the new Literacy Studies
Some Final Remarks
Planning language assessment from a structuralist view of language has been a fairly easy task, since it aims at testing the correct use of grammar and lexical structures. This has been a very comfortable way to evaluate students’ performance in many regular schools or language institutes due to the stability of standardized answers. From the perspective of the new literacy studies, the comfort of teaching and assessing objective and homogeneous linguistic contents is replaced by a wider spectrum of language teaching and assessing possibilities, whose key elements turn to be difference and critique. Typical activities based on this new approach would enable students to make and negotiate meanings in a much more flexible way, corroborating the novel notion of unstable, dynamic, collaborative and distributed knowledge.
The inclusion of contents of such nature in language assessments may be, at a first glance, a very laborious process due to the fact we are simply not accustomed to that. Actually, we sometimes find ourselves deprived from the teaching skills necessary to apply a more critical teaching approach, a fact that is much the results of our positivist educational background.
Nonetheless, since the emergent digital epistemology will require subject more capable of designing and redesigning meaning critically towards a great deal of representational modes, we need to reconsider our teaching approaches, go further and seek theories that take such issues into account. By redefining the notions of language and knowledge, we, thus, assume that the new literacy studies from the last decades may offer very good insights to the field of foreign language teaching.
The re-conceptualization of language assessment according to the new literacies project presented in this paper does not intend to suggest prompt fixed answers, but it takes the risk of outlining possible activities, signaling certain changes regarding its characteristics and contents, as previously shared.
The increasing importance of the new literacy and multiliteracies studies and their fruitful theoretical insight for the rethinking of pedagogical issues invite us to review our foreign language teaching practices in a different perspective. By sharing some of our local findings, we attempt to corroborate the collaborative and distributed knowledge discussed by the literacies theory itself and hope to be contributing to the new educational demands of the emerging epistemological basis.

( ) The new literacy studies have kept away from the homogeneous assessment provided by earlier approaches. ( ) Teachers can find it hard to engage in new literacy practices as they have not been educated in this direction. ( ) Instability and collaboration are essential to structuralist approaches to language teaching.
The statements are, respectively:
1. Punishment is replaced by the understanding of the reasons of certain performances in order to improve students' learning as well as the teacher's choices; 2. The act of evaluating is more collaborative, mediated, more public, and more horizontal; 3. Formal moments of assessment are most desirable rather than more informal ones, such as self-evaluation.

This quotation is in line with the following goals for the teaching of English defined by the Municipal Secretariat of Education, São Paulo (2019), except:
1. Explain a word to the students drawing on the blackboard. Then ask them to copy the word and have them recite it out loud. 2. Ask students to look at pictures of two children and add to the speech bubbles what they think the characters might be saying to each other. 3. Create a mnemonic device in the students’ native language so that they memorize the grammar rules better. 4. Choose a video that shows how people in a specific country dress and behave and ask students to perform a parody of these characteristics. 5. Have students stand up and start by saying "Simon says, hands on head" while placing your hands on your head. The students who don’t imitate you correctly or are too slow should sit down and stay out of the game.
Choose the option that indicates the strategies in line with the parameters published by the Municipal Secretariat of Education, São Paulo (2019).

Text 3
This method was widely used in the 1950s and 1960s, and the emphasis was not on the understanding of words, but rather on the acquisition of structures and patterns in common everyday dialogue. It gave students a lot of speaking practice by using habit-formation drills. Other characteristics of this method are:
•Set phrases are memorized with a focus on intonation;
•Grammatical explanations are kept to a minimum;
•Vocabulary is taught in context;
•Audio-visual aids are used;
•Focus is on pronunciation.
The teaching method focused on in text 3 is called
Read the passage and answer the question.
Numerous studies show that ____________________ as compared to working independently, results in deeper information processing and more meaningful psychological connections among the participants (Johnson, Johnson, and Smith 1998; Smith 1995). The goal of collaboration is to create new insights during discussions (Henry 1992; Kaye 1992) and to move students to an understanding of alternative perspectives (Cunningham 1992). The following general suggestions can help establish consistency in group work:
•During a pre-collaboration period, make sure that students are motivated to participate.
•Establish clear ground rules: everybody must participate, and all the ideas should be accommodate.
•Be available as a resource for students, but do not offer any judgments on the work progress and assure them that the tensions are natural.
•Do not get discouraged when a collaborative task results in some emotional responses from students – keep creating opportunities for learning to work collaboratively.

The method that correctly completes text 2 is
In spoken English, gap fillers are very common. Choose an alternative that does not have a gap filler.
Consider the words and punctuation below.
Lady Gaga - you - emotionally - ? - like - do - which - best - song - devastating.
Choose the alternative that presents the words and punctuation correctly organized in the sentence.
_____________ plays an increasingly important role in language education, both as a feature of foreign language teaching and learning, and as an element of bilingual and plurilingual education. As learners develop their language competences, they are able to deal with evermore complex topics, so teaching material needs to offer learners interesting and challenging subject matter. One way to do this is through it where language and subject teachers work together; language teachers acquire subject knowledge and subject teachers acquire expertise in combining language development with teaching the content effectively.

Popular hot drink 'lowers blood glucose levels in weeks - and could help prevent diabetes and silent killers'
(1º§) Drinking more green tea made significant improvements to health - a finding which surprised US researchers. They believe the brew could offset risk factors that are linked to metabolic syndrome.
(2º§) Metabolic syndrome, according to the NHS, is the medical term for a combination of diabetes, high blood pressure (hypertension) and obesity. Therefore, people are more likely to have metabolic syndrome if they are overweight, and have poor or high levels of cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar.
(3º§) However, the new study, by Ohio State University, suggests green tea could improve all these factors. And in turn, it could slash the odds of deadly complications related to metabolic syndrome - coronary heart disease and stroke. A group of 40 people were recruited for the study. For one part of the study, they took green tea supplements for 28 days.
(4º§) The gummy sweets contained the compound catechinsdose and was the equivalent of five cups of green tea. ___ another 28 days, they had dummy pills, according to the findings published in Current Developments in Nutrition. In both parts of the experiments they ate a diet that was low in fruit and veg to make sure any positive results could be attributed to green tea, and not a healthy diet.
(5º§) The results showed that fasting blood glucose levels for all participants were significantly lower during the green-tea phase. Poo samples showed fewer markers of gut inflammation, and "leaky gut" was reduced. Leaky gut, or gut permeability, is when the gut lining has cracks or holes in, allowing bacteria to enter the bloodstream and cause inflammation.
(6º§) This is thought to be an "initiating factor for obesity and insulin resistance, which are central to all cardiometabolic disorders", according to Richard Bruno, senior study author and professor of human nutrition. He said: "If we can improve gut integrity and reduce leaky gut, the thought is we'll be able to not only alleviate low-grade inflammation that initiates cardiometabolic disorders, but potentially reverse them."
(7º§) All the participants - half healthy and half with metabolic syndrome - saw benefits, an unexpected finding for the research team. Prof Bruno said: "What this tells us is that within one month we're able to lower blood glucose ___ both people with metabolic syndrome and healthy people.
(8º§) "The lowering of blood glucose appears to be related to decreasing leaky gut and decreasing gut inflammation - regardless of health status." But Prof Bruno added: "We did not attempt to cure metabolic syndrome with a one-month study. "But based on what we know about the causal factors behind metabolic syndrome, there is potential for green tea to be acting at least in part ___ the gut level to alleviate the risk for either developing it or reversing it if you already have metabolic syndrome."
(9º§) Most often, doctors will tell people at risk of metabolic syndrome to improve their lifestyle habits - eat healthier and exercise more. "Unfortunately, we know most persons can't comply with lifestyle modifications for various reasons," Prof Bruno said. Green tea isn't as popular in the Western world as it is in the East, where it has origins in China.
(10º§) It's touted as a healthy drink because studies have found evidence it helps with weight loss, heart disease risk and even cancer. But the findings aren't very strong and are often observational, have small sample sizes or other limitations.
