ENGLISH AT ENEM AND AT SCHOOL: PRACTICES OF TWO HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS
Abstract: The Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (ENEM - High School National Exam), initially proposed as a diagnostic test, had its status and function changed in 2009, when it became a mandatory high-stakes entrance examination for students who intend to enter public universities in Brazil. Despite its relevance, few studies have been carried out in order to gather evidence of its influences upon the teaching and learning which precede the exam. These influences are referred to as washback in the applied linguistics literature. Therefore, the objective of this research is to investigate the way in which the ENEM English test might influence the actions of two teachers [...]. Using the qualitative methodology with ethnographic aspects, data was gathered in two different teaching contexts, a public and a private school, both placed in the Região Metropolitana de Campinas, RMC. For the data collection and aiming at data triangulation, besides the questionnaires which were answered by the students, the two teachers and their coordinators were interviewed. In order to complement data gathering, classes were audio recorded, observed, and field notes were taken by the researcher. Results show that, despite the fact that ENEM is a high-stakes standardized exam, its English test does not exert any washback effect upon the two teachers' practices. At the public school, teaching was constructed based on the textbook used during classes with no intent to prepare students to enter an undergraduate course. At the private school, the vestibulares, entrance exams used by the public universities in the State of São Paulo, still exert a strong washback upon the English teaching, especially due to the textbook, which materializes the vestibulares during classes. In this specific context, the vestibulares determine the skills, the content, the depth and the pace of teaching, exerting a strong and negative washback. (...)

NO HABLA ESPAÑOL? HOW NETFLIX COULD TRANSFORM THE WAY WE LEARN LANGUAGES
Amid concern over the fall in pupils studying foreign languages, a new online tool has turned the streaming service into a classroom
For years people around the world have learned English by watching Hollywood movies and costume dramas on the BBC. Now British monoglots have one less excuse for not returning the favour: a new online tool that turns the streaming service Netflix into a sofabased language lab.
Language Learning With Netflix (LLN), a tool that allows viewers to watch foreign language shows with subtitles both in the original language and English, and pauses automatically to allow the learner to absorb what they have just heard, has been downloaded by tens of thousands of people since its launch in December.
Amid growing concern over the falling number of pupils taking foreign languages in secondary schools, some linguists have hailed LLN as a dynamic way of harnessing the educational potential of Netflix, which has programmes in 26 languages in 190 countries, and aims to have 100 non-English language series in production by this year.
David Wilkinson and Ognjen Apic, the two independent developers behind the tool, began the project as a hobby a few years ago and launched their Chrome browser extension in December. A trickle of users has turned into a flood – in the last three weeks more than 30,000 people have downloaded the tool.
“We want to encourage people to use good habits,” Wilkinson said. “At an early stage, students should listen to the language as much as possible. Pump language into the ears and provide a translation that allows you to associate meaning with that.” (...)
