The BNCC and Twenty-First Century Skills


    The most ambitious feature of the BNCC, which only appeared in the document’s third version, was to establish ten core competencies that all students should develop throughout basic education, starting in early childhood. These competencies include lifelong learning, critical thinking, aesthetic sensibilities, communication skills, digital literacy, entrepreneurship, self-care, empathy, citizenship and ethics. The core competencies broaden the goals of basic education well-beyond academic skills to twenty-first century skills widely regarded as essential to preparing the next generations for the challenges of the 4th industrial revolution.


    As ambitious as it was, the BNCC was criticized for the lack of explicit links between the ten core competencies and the subject specific competencies and skills, leaving cities and states with the responsibility of making these links themselves. In addition to this, the core competencies are not generally integrated into teacher training programs and are often de-prioritized for the more basic literacy and numeracy needs. In this context, the Ministry of Education and its partners in the third sector have developed orientations, produced videos and online courses aimed at filling this gap, and helped cities and states integrate the ten core competencies in their curricula.


    […]


    Ensuring all Brazilian students master the ten core competencies laid out by the BNCC by the end of high school is a long-term, extremely ambitious goal. Before we can set a timeframe for when we will be able to achieve this feat, we need to know where we stand. Due to the core competencies’ complexity, each involves several skills, attitudes and sometimes values, it is unclear whether we will be capable of measuring all ten of them and by when. Until then we are in the company of the OECD, which is already tackling this challenge and will likely pave the way for Brazil in this respect

O texto abaixo foi retirado de um artigo sobre feedback no ensino de inglês. Complete as lacunas com os termos correspondentes, considerando o sentido global do texto.

      Finding and identifying problems helps students practice detecting problems. Problem identification is found to be more important for reviewer learning, perhaps because reviewers are involved in more highly cognitive demanding activities when identifying problems. Interestingly, it is easier to see problems in documents/objects produced by ____________ than in ____________ documents because learners often “see” what they meant to produce and not what they actually produced. Thus, ____________ may be an easier context in which to practice skills related to repairing errors because errors are more easily detected

How do most teachers use micro-dictations?
      However ‘small’ they are, micro-dictations have great value! They can help students notice connected speech, which is what usually blocks their understanding in a listening lesson. The teacher reads the sentences or plays the recording. They repeat each sentence a few times. Example: He must have gone out.
      Students listen and write what they hear.
      The teacher now writes the sentence on the whiteboard and asks students to compare it to theirs.
      Finally, the teacher asks: which part was difficult to understand and why?

What does a CCQ mean?
      A concept checking question is a question designed to help the teacher check students’ understanding of a language item (grammar structure, vocabulary, fixed expression). “Do you understand?”, “Is that clear?”, “We all know that, right?” or “OK?” should be absolute taboos.

      When to ask CCQs?
      Every time you explain new material or need to check whether students know what you are talking about. CCQs are particularly useful after guided practice and at the end of the lesson as a review.

      How to ask CCQs?
      There are some simple rules that can help you create good CCQs and use them effectively:

1. CCQs should be easy to understand, use simple language in CCQs.
2. Don’t use the target language in CCQs;
E.g. I’ll meet her tomorrow.
Bad CCQ: Will I meet her next week?
3. Don’t use new vocabulary in CCQs;
4. Plan CCQs in advance;
5. Ask at least 2 CCQs to cover all of the important aspects of the target language;
6. CCQs should check the meaning of the target language, not of the situation.
E.g. She’s been in bed all day.
Bad CCQ: Is she sick?
7. Some of the most efficient CCQs are yes/no questions along with either/or questions; simple Wh-questions and true/false statements.

What is the definition of translanguaging?



      For years, research into the best instructional approaches for students identified as English learners has pointed to the concept of translanguaging.


       Identified by bilingual education researcher Ofelia García, it’s both a skill set and a total shift in the way language is thought of, used, and taught in K-12 classrooms where multiple languages are honored and addressed, even as English remains the dominant language of instruction, said Marybelle Marrero-Colon, the associate director of professional development for the Center for Applied Linguistics.


      Researchers are looking into how it can be applied to formal assessments, such as state standardized tests on which English learners might struggle to demonstrate their academic proficiency because they are tested in an unfamiliar language.


      Translanguaging is the ability to move fluidly between languages and a pedagogical approach to teaching in which teachers support this ability.


       In translanguaging, students are able to think in multiple languages simultaneously and use their home language as a vehicle to learn academic English.


      A student could be reading an article about the solar system in English, but in their brain, they are also thinking and making connections in Spanish. They might annotate in Spanish or first write down reading comprehension responses in Spanish and then figure out how to provide the responses in English, said MarreroColon. […]


   Teachers can engage in a variety of activities that deliberately encourage translanguaging, ranging from providing vocabulary in multiple languages to collaborative translation opportunities. The goal is to get students translanguaging as a practice that can be leveraged toward supporting literacy outcomes and engagement, as well as other academic endeavors.

 
      For example, two students could be assigned to solve a word problem, and one might be stuck on a word in English. The two students can then use an equivalent word in their home language to make sense of what the word problem is asking of them, Phillips Galloway said.


      Or in group activities, students can be prompted to share with the rest of the class how something taught in English would make sense in Spanish by highlighting similar and different grammatical structures between the two languages, Marrero-Colon said.


      “When you translate, you don’t have to do it word for word. You’re really trying to capture the feeling of that text,” MarreroColon said.


        Once teachers start doing these activities, research has found that students who have not spoken before start speaking and students who were not as engaged in text-comprehension activities suddenly are, she added. That's occurring because they are being encouraged to use their home language in class to think about language use overall.

UN and Multilingualism

An essential factor in harmonious communication among peoples and an enabler of multilateral diplomacy, multilingualism is of particular importance to the United Nations. By promoting dialogue, tolerance and understanding, multilingualism ensures effective participation of all in the Organization’s work, as well as greater transparency and efficiencies and better outcomes.

Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish are the six official languages of the United Nations; English and French being the working languages of the United Nations Secretariat.

Parity among the six official languages has been an ongoing concern of the Secretary-General. The use of all the official languages, on an equal footing, is actively promoted to guarantee that all stakeholders can participate in the work of the United Nations. To ensure that the goals and actions of the UN are understood by the widest possible public, non-official languages are also in use at the UN on a daily basis. To achieve these objectives, the UN Secretariat promotes an organizational culture in its ranks that values and nurtures multilingualism throughout the human resources continuum.

Life with the ‘ugliest’ dog-turned Hollywood star

        The transformation of Britain’s “ugliest” dog into a Hollywood star has been unexpected and “surreal”, her owner has said.
     Peggy is appearing alongside Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in the latest Marvel superhero film, Deadpool & Wolverine.
        The five-year-old pugese – a pug and Chinese crested cross – was cast as “Dogpool” after finding fame last year when she was crowned the ugliest pooch in a national contest.
        Recalling the past 18 months, Peggy’s owner Holly Middleton, from East Yorkshire, said: “Not in my wildest dreams did I
think anything like that would have ever happened”.
        “When we submitted her picture [to the ugly dog competition], I didn’t think it would get to the heights it did,” she added.
        “I didn’t think that’d be as big a deal as it was.”
        However, despite amassing “a massive fan base”, Mrs Middleton said Peggy was not displaying any “diva behaviour” at home.
        On the contrary, the usually “reserved and lazy” pugese had gained “a bit more confidence” from the trainer who was tasked with looking after her during production of Deadpool & Wolverine.
        “She’s still just plain old Peg”, said Mrs Middleton.
        The 37-year-old make-up artist said the family had missed Peggy when she was away filming.
        “It was really, really strange not to have her here”, her owner said. “I’ve got two boys and they missed her terribly.
        “We didn’t tell them where she was. Everything had to be kept quiet.
        “I’m glad she’s back. We missed her.”
        Watching Peggy making her debut at a premiere in New York and being held on the red carpet by Hollywood A-listers was
“surreal”, Mrs Middleton said.
        “I loved it. Peggy looked really comfortable the entire time, as probably most people would being cuddled by Ryan Reynolds.
        “They seem to really, really love her and they’re so gentle with her, and you can see... they’re giving her kisses and giving
her little rubs on her head.
        “I just loved every second of it. I loved seeing her up there doing her thing.
        “She just looked so chilled and so happy.”
        Mrs Middleton said there were no plans at present for future film roles and Peggy was content with chilling at home.
        “First and foremost, she is a family pet”, she added. “There’s nothing she likes more than either cuddling with us on the
couch, or snuggling in her bed.”
        Despite Peggy’s global recognition, Mrs Middleton said she was “the same as every other dog that gets walked in the
village” – though she “absolutely loves” attention and had become accustomed to turning people’s heads.
        “When I read comments online, they’re all very positive and very much in favour of Peggy, saying how beautiful she is.
        “Before all of this, just the way she looks she would get attention, but it was usually people sort of nudging each other and
whispering, ‘Oh, what’s wrong with that dog’.
        “So since everything’s happened, the public perception of Peggy, and whether she’s beautiful, ugly, or whatever has definitely changed for the better.”
