“The sudden spike of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has had and continues to have a transformative impact on various domains, including education. The advent of AI-powered large language models [LLM], such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, will significantly enhance the way English as a foreign language (EFL) is taught and learned. This article explores the versatile applications of ChatGPT as a valuable tool in any EFLteacher's toolkit, specifically focusing on material development and assessment. The demand for effective EFLteaching and learning strategies has been steadily on the rise for years due to globalization and the widespread adoption of English as the lingua franca for international communication. Consequently, the integration of technology in language education has become crucial in addressing the diverse needs of EFL learners and teachers. ChatGPT, a cutting-edge LLM, holds considerable promise in revolutionizing EFLeducation, as it combines advanced natural language processing capabilities with a realistic instantaneous humanlike interaction. This article aims to provide some potential benefits of utilizing ChatGPT in EFL education. First, we examine how ChatGPTcan be employed in material development, streamlining the process of creating engaging and contextually relevant resources tailored to the needs of individual learners, as well as other more general uses. Second, we explore the role of ChatGPT in text assessment, highlighting the fact that, unlike humans, it has the potential of offering real-time, personalized feedback on learners' performance, thereby enhancing the overall learning experience. It is worth noting that this article as well as the applications suggested in it are based on the latest ChatGPT4 and not the older ChatGPT3.5.”

1. Language learning is learning to communicate using the target language.

2. The language used to communicate must be appropriate to the situation, the roles of the speakers, the setting and the register. The learner needs to differentiate between a formal and an informal style.

3. Communicative activities are essential. Activities should be presented in a situation or context and have a communicative purpose. Typical activities of this approach are: games, problem-solving tasks, and role-play. There should be information gap, choice and feedback involved in the activities.

4. Learners must have constant interaction with and exposure to the target language.

5. Development of the four macro skills — speaking, listening, reading and writing — is integrated from the beginning, since communication integrates the different skills.

6. The topics are selected and graded regarding age, needs, level, and students' interest.

7. Motivation is central. Teachers should raise students' interest from the beginning of the lesson.

8. The role of the teacher is that of a guide, a facilitator or an instructor.

9. Trial and error are considered part of the learning process.

10. Evaluation concerns not only the learners' accuracy but also their fluency.

Global Warming: A Threat to Our Planet



Global warming, also known as climate change, is one of the most pressing issues facing our planet today. It refers to the gradual increase in the Earth's average temperature due to human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. This phenomenon has far-reaching consequences for the environment, ecosystems, and human societies worldwide.


The primary cause of global warming is the emission of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the sun, leading to a rise in temperatures and changes in weather patterns. The consequences of global warming include rising sea levels, melting ice caps and glaciers, more frequent and severe weather events, and disruptions to ecosystems and biodiversity.


The impacts of global warming are already being felt around the world. Coastal communities are experiencing increased flooding and erosion due to rising sea levels, while farmers are facing challenges such as droughts, heatwaves, and crop failures. Furthermore, vulnerable populations, including the poor, elderly, and marginalized communities, are disproportionately aƯected by the impacts of climate change.


Addressing global warming requires urgent and coordinated action at local, national, and international levels. This includes reducing greenhouse gas emissions by transitioning to renewable energy sources, improving energy eƯiciency, protecting and restoring forests, and implementing policies to promote sustainable development. Additionally, adaptation measures, such as building resilient infrastructure and enhancing disaster preparedness, are essential to mitigate the impacts of climate change on communities and ecosystems.


In conclusion, global warming poses a significant threat to the health and well-being of our planet and future generations. It is imperative that we take decisive action to address this crisis and work together to build a more sustainable and resilient world for all. By adopting sustainable practices and investing in clean energy solutions, we can mitigate the impacts of climate change and safeguard the future of our planet.

TEXT II 

This study intended to investigate the language learning strategies used by learners of English as a foreign language, aiming to find the amount of strategies and the domain differences of the strategies used; to reveal the link between strategy use and success levels; and to find out the difference in strategy use between genders and its influence on their achievement in English. 257 (153 male, 104 female) students from Atılım University English Preparatory School participated in the study. At the time of the study all the participants were in the same proficiency level, and were distributed to different classes of the same level. The data were gathered through strategy inventory for language learning (SILL) of Oxford (1990), which was translated to Turkish by Cesur and Fer (2007). The instrument, based on Oxford’s (1990) classification of the language learning strategies, is composed of 50 items in six subscales. The participants responded to the inventory before the end of the level they were in. The data were analyzed through SPSS (15.0) to find the relationship of language learning strategies, gender and achievement in learning the target language. To reveal the interconnections between these factors, independent t-tests and an ANOVA test, along with post hoc procedures were performed on the gathered data. The findings of the study revealed that use of language learning strategies are positively effective in success in English, that females were significantly more successful than males in terms of achievement tests, and that they used more language learning strategies in learning English. Depending on the statistical results, it is discovered that there is a significant connection between gender, language learning strategies and achievement in English.

Q2508485 Inglês
In the study of languages, understanding verb tenses and their applications within different contexts is fundamental to effective communication. The verb 'to be' in English, for instance, is a highly versatile verb, serving not only as a main verb expressing states, but also as an auxiliary verb in various tenses. Consider the following excerpt from a historical novel set in the 19th century: 'In times long past, the issue of women's rights was not as universally recognized as it is today. Women in many societies not only had to struggle to be acknowledged as equals but also often bore the additional burden of being considered property, their voices not heard and their actions overlooked.' Analyzing this passage, discuss the application of the verb 'to be' in highlighting the conditions and perceptions of women during that era. Additionally, reflect on how the verb 'to be' aids in conveying the enduring struggles for equality in different historical periods.

A colonização do Brasil, as perspectivas educacionais dos missionários jesuítas (vindos juntamente com o colonizador) e as ações autoritárias do período da ditadura militar no Brasil são apontadas por Monte Mór (2013) como fortes influências da história política do Brasil sobre a educação nacional. A colonização, a educação jesuíta e o regime militar teriam influenciado, inclusive, o currículo escolar e a formação de professores, interferindo no desenvolvimento da agência por parte de professores e alunos, o que teria, por fim, comprometido a prática de uma cidadania ativa, engajada em ação social e política.

Q2506442 Inglês
Segundo a professora e pesquisadora Jucá (2021), discorrer sobre o professor brasileiro de língua estrangeira – nesse caso, de língua inglesa ou, simplesmente, de inglês – pressupõe, inevitavelmente, considerar, ainda hoje, o status desse professor como falante não-nativo da língua que ensina. Jucá aborda essa discussão usando o advérbio de tempo “ainda” fazendo referência a Kumaravadivelu (2016) o qual levanta críticas sobre a aparente resistência contínua daquilo que é comumente conhecido como a ideologia do falante nativo ou o mito do falante nativo. Esse fenômeno persiste, mesmo diante de inúmeros estudos, pesquisas, debates, publicações de artigos e livros, que abordam a posição de submissão na qual essa proposição coloca os professores denominados não-nativos.

Com base no exposto, avalie o que se afirma.

I - Kumaravadivelu (2016) discorre sobre as formas de desvalorização e inferioridade imputadas à carreira do professor de inglês mundo afora onde os espaços de ensino de língua inglesa se revelam (re)ocupados pelo assim chamado nativo ou falante nativo, apesar dos muitos esforços empreendidos para a ocupação desses espaços por meio da criação de políticas e programas locais de ensino e de formação de professores de língua inglesa.
II - Dentre os recursos usados para a manutenção da marginalização do professor não-nativo, Kumaravadivelu (2016) aponta, dentro do campo educacional, aspectos como: os planejamentos curriculares, a elaboração de materiais, os métodos de ensino, os testes padronizados e a formação docente, frisando, no entanto, os métodos e materiais produzidos em países do centro como os meios principais de administração e manutenção da marginalização e os principais responsáveis por impulsionar a estrutura de poder hegemônico.
III - O que fica evidente é uma recente valorização e um reconhecimento do professor não-nativo de língua inglesa, já que este exerce a profissão em seu próprio país, geograficamente distante daquele do falante nativo. Essa valorização do professor não-nativo se dá, segundo Kumaravadivelu, não de forma sutil e subliminar, mas de forma aberta e direta.

Crazy Horse


    Crazy Horse (Tasunke Witko, 1840-1877) was an Oglala Lakota Sioux warrior and warband leader considered among the greatest defenders of Sioux lands against the forces of the US government in the 19th century. He is one of the most famous Native American figures in history and among the Sioux's most honored heroes. Although he is often referred to as a "chief", Crazy Horse was actually a "Shirt Wearer" – a kind of "subchief" – who carried out the decisions of the council and also served as a war chief of a given band of warriors. Even so, Crazy Horse inspired such devotion in his followers that he was regarded as a "chief" and is referenced as such by others.


    His name, Tasunke Witko (Crazy Horse), is accurately translated as "His Crazy Horse" or "His Horse is Crazy" and was his father's and grandfather's name, seemingly referencing a horse that behaved erratically. According to Black Elk, however, the name correlated to Crazy Horse's famous vision in which he saw his horse dancing as though "made only of shadow" in a strange or "crazy" way.


    Crazy Horse dedicated himself to opposing the US military as early as 1854 following the Grattan Fight (Grattan Massacre) and the subsequent massacre of Little Thunder's camp in 1855 by Colonel William S. Harney. He continued his resistance over the next eleven years and was named a "Shirt Wearer" in 1865. He fought in the Battle of Plate River Bridge (1865), Red Cloud's War (1866-1868), the Battle of the Rosebud (1876), and the Battle of the Little Bighorn (1876). His last full-scale engagement with US forces was the Battle of Wolf Mountain in January 1877.
