TEXT 4 


According to the Brazilian National Education Guidelines and Framework Law enacted in 2017, English language teaching is mandatory from the sixth year of elementary school until the last years of high school. However, the curriculum does not guarantee that all Brazilian students will receive English teaching. In 2013, Data Popular, a Brazilian research institute, drafted a report for the British Council analyzing the problems concerning knowledge of English in Brazil. The report claims that the low level of English proficiency amongst Brazilians reflects the educational opportunities available in the country […]. 

To understand the reasons why English teaching does not seem efficient for all students, it is important to highlight the English language teaching provision in Brazil. Formal English teaching in Brazil takes place in four different contexts: English schools, bilingual schools, regular private schools, and public schools. In general, people who wish to learn English believe that effective learning occurs only in private English schools or bilingual schools because the structure (the teaching methods and the quality of support materials) is more likely to provide successful learning. The focus in those institutions is on oral expression. Learners have more exposure to the target language because classes are taught entirely in English, and teachers are usually well trained to comply with that requirement. In addition, groups are smaller, so students can receive personal support and enjoy a comfortable learning environment, not to mention access to multimedia resources.

TEXT 3


“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.”

TEXT 2


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.
