Qconcursos · Accepted Answer

Alternativa [A] Statements I and IV are correct. A alternativa correta é a A. Vamos entender por quê.

Para resolver esta questão, o aluno precisa compreender o conceito de abstract e o objetivo do artigo em questão. É necessário analisar cada afirmação em relação ao resumo fornecido.

I - An abstract summarizes, usually in one paragraph of 300 words or less, the major aspects of the entire paper. It is normally followed by a list of keywords.
Esta afirmação é verdadeira. Um abstract, ou resumo, tem a função de condensar os principais pontos do artigo em um único parágrafo, geralmente com até 300 palavras. Além disso, é comum que seja seguido por uma lista de palavras-chave, como visto no exemplo fornecido.

II - Jordão’s paper aims at discussing the implications of teaching English in Brazil.
Esta afirmação é incorreta. O objetivo principal do artigo de Jordão é analisar as diferentes conotações dos termos international, global, foreign, additional language e lingua franca ao se referir ao ensino da língua inglesa, conforme descrito no abstrato.

III - In Brazil, the term EFL is present in all official documents.
Esta afirmação também é incorreta. O resumo não apoia essa afirmação; ele menciona o uso do termo EFL (English as a Foreign Language) de maneira tradicional no Brasil, mas não diz que está presente em todos os documentos oficiais.

IV - Jordão analyzes the uses of the terms international, global, foreign, additional language and lingua franca when referring to English in language policy documents, international academic journals and abstracts of papers presented at a conference.
Esta afirmação é verdadeira. O resumo explicitamente menciona que o artigo de Jordão analisa os usos desses termos em documentos de políticas linguísticas, revistas acadêmicas internacionais e resumos de artigos apresentados em uma conferência de educação de professores no Brasil.

Portanto, a alternativa A, que afirma que as sentenças I e IV estão corretas, é a resposta correta.
