Activities for raising awareness of diversity
Our first goal as language teachers is always to encourage our
learners to make use of their developing language. Giving them a
genuine communicative purpose and making it personal to them
are two good ways of achieving this. For students beginning their
journey to greater self-awareness, teachers could devise an
inventory of learning skills for them to rate themselves on. This
could include items such as ‘I keep my notes in order’, ‘I always
make a note of homework and the date it should be done’ or
whatever is appropriate to their level. Students could rate
themselves privately, but then discuss with other students which
ones they find most challenging, exchanging tips about how they
could improve these aspects of learning. From these discussions,
it will probably become clear that some students have already
got good study strategies in place, even if some of them seem a
little unusual. Revisiting the checklist later in the course helps
learners to reflect on how they have improved and what they still
need to work on. […]
Making use of materials that include a diverse range of
characters is another great way of initiating discussion and raising
awareness of the issues. There may be no explicit mention made
in the text of this diversity, thereby sending the implicit message
that this is just how the world is. Students may see characters
that they can relate to more easily, and feel more included
generally. Other materials, such as the ‘Adventures on Inkling
Island’ comic strips, explicitly showcase the daily challenges and
talents of neurodiverse people, demonstrating that being
different can be a strength in some situations.
A powerful way of enabling people to understand how it
might feel to be in the minority on a daily basis, whether in terms
of physical abilities or cognitive function, is to set up experiential
activities which challenge the participants to perform unusual
tasks in conditions that make their usual way of working
impossible. As well as being a fun way of introducing the topic for
further discussion, these activities are usually very memorable
and drive home the message that – in the vast majority of cases –
lack of success in academic tasks is not due to laziness or
stupidity.

Critical Literacy
Critical literacies are not new among scholars and researchers
in literacy education. However, due to different theoretical bases,
there is no unique definition of “critical literacy”. In their
broadest sense, critical literacies refer to the ability to read texts
going beyond their superficial meaning. That is, it implies
approaching texts in a reflective way to understand working
ideologies such as power, inequality, and injustice. In the realm of
critical literacy, text is understood as a “vehicle through which
individuals communicate with one another using the codes and
conventions of society” (Robinson & Robinson, 2003, p. 3). Texts,
in this sense, can be either songs, novels, poems, conversations,
pictures, movies, and so on. […]
Hence, the critical literacies approach is generally contrasted
with functional literacy. The former views literacy as a social
practice, while the latter views literacy as the mastery of linguistic
skills. In addition, Manning (1999) developed a framework to
distinguish critical literacies from functional literacy by
establishing the difference between their respective ideology
purpose, literacy curriculum, and instruction. On the one hand,
the main objective of functional literacy is to produce skilled
workers for the marketplace. Consequently, the curriculum is
restrictive and the instruction is individualistic and competitive.
On the other hand, for critical literacies, texts are not neutral but
marked by power messages, dominating interests, and hidden
agendas. In order to deconstruct these texts and unveil their
ideological messages and power relationships, the curriculum is
to employ materials from the everyday world as text and analytic
tools.
Critical scholars have overtly supported the idea that there is
not a single procedure for incorporating critical literacies into the
classroom, given that the particularities of the context where the
foreign language is taught differ from one another. Thus, an
approach to critical literacies “needs to be continually redefined
in practice” (Comber, 2001, p. 274).

Balloons
Have you ever wondered what keeps a hot air balloon
flying? The same principle that keeps food frozen in
the open chest freezers at the grocery store allows
hot air balloons to fly. It’s a very basic principle: Hot air
rises and cold air falls. So while the super-cooled air
in the grocery store freezer settles down around the
food, the hot air in a hot air balloon pushes up, keeping the balloon floating above the ground. In order to
understand more about how this principle works in
hot air balloons, it helps to know more about hot air
balloons themselves.
A hot air balloon has three major parts: the basket, the
burner, and the envelope. The basket is where passengers ride. The basket is usually made of wicker. This
ensures that it will be comfortable and add little extra
weight. The burner is positioned above the passenger’s heads and produces a huge flame to heat the air
inside the envelope. The envelope is the colorful fabric
balloon that holds the hot air. When the air inside the
envelope is heated, the balloon rises.
The pilot can control the up-and-down movements of
the hot air balloon by regulating the heat in the envelope. To ascend, the pilot heats the air in the envelope.
When the pilot is ready to land, the air in the balloon is
allowed to cool and the balloon becomes heavier than
air. This makes the balloon descend.
Before the balloon is launched, the pilot knows which
way the wind is blowing. This means that she has a
general idea........................... which way the balloon will
go. But, sometimes the pilot can actually control the
direction that the balloon flies while.......................................... flight.
This is because the air above the ground is sectioned .........................................layers in which the direction of the wind
may be different. So even though the pilot can’t steer
the balloon, she can fly or higher or lower into a different layer ......................................air. Some days the difference
between the direction of the wind between layers is
negligible. But other days the difference is so strong
that it can actually push the balloon in a completely
different direction!

hot air balloons to fly. It’s a very basic principle: Hot air
rises and cold air falls. So while the super-cooled air
in the grocery store freezer settles down around the
food, the hot air in a hot air balloon pushes up, keeping the balloon floating above the ground. In order to
understand more about how this principle works in
hot air balloons, it helps to know more about hot air
balloons themselves.
A hot air balloon has three major parts: the basket, the
burner, and the envelope. The basket is where passengers ride. The basket is usually made of wicker. This
ensures that it will be comfortable and add little extra
weight. The burner is positioned above the passenger’s heads and produces a huge flame to heat the air
inside the envelope. The envelope is the colorful fabric
balloon that holds the hot air. When the air inside the
envelope is heated, the balloon rises.
The pilot can control the up-and-down movements of
the hot air balloon by regulating the heat in the envelope. To ascend, the pilot heats the air in the envelope.
When the pilot is ready to land, the air in the balloon is
allowed to cool and the balloon becomes heavier than
air. This makes the balloon descend.
Before the balloon is launched, the pilot knows which
way the wind is blowing. This means that she has a
general idea........................... which way the balloon will
go. But, sometimes the pilot can actually control the
direction that the balloon flies while.......................................... flight.
This is because the air above the ground is sectioned .........................................layers in which the direction of the wind
may be different. So even though the pilot can’t steer
the balloon, she can fly or higher or lower into a different layer ......................................air. Some days the difference
between the direction of the wind between layers is
negligible. But other days the difference is so strong
that it can actually push the balloon in a completely
different direction!
Using the text as a guide, identify the alternatives
below as ( T ) true or ( F ) false.
( ) Air goes up and out the top of a chimney when you light a fire.
( ) Cool air collects about the ceiling when you open a refrigerator.
( ) Smoke from a candle rises after you blow out the flame.
( ) Cold air coming from an air conditioning vent settles about the floor.
Choose the alternative which presents the correct sequence, from top to bottom.

he or she do to accomplish this?
