“(...) a língua inglesa não é mais aquela do ‘estrangeiro’, oriundo de países hegemônicos, cujos falantes servem de modelo a ser seguido, nem tampouco trata-se de uma variante da língua inglesa. Nessa perspectiva, são acolhidos e legitimados os usos que dela fazem falantes espalhados no mundo inteiro, com diferentes repertórios linguísticos e culturais, o que possibilita, por exemplo, questionar a visão de que o único inglês ‘correto’ – e a ser ensinado – é aquele falado por estadunidenses ou britânicos” (Fonte: basenacionalcomum.mec.gov.br).
Analise as seguintes asserções e a relação proposta entre elas:
I. Tanto a BNCC quanto a charge apresentam a mesma concepção de erro. POIS
II. Ambas condenam o uso de repertório linguístico inadequado.
A respeito dessas asserções, assinale a alternativa correta.
In the context of text 2A7-I, the word “ amongst ” could be correctly replaced by
Observe the morphological process of the formation of the following words:
Now analyze the following statements.
I. -context- and -tangle- are free roots, while -ident- is a bound root.
II. These three words are formed both by prefixation and suffixation.
III. In the noun, -ual- and -iz- are derivational suffixes, while in the adverb, -ifi- and -ab- are inflectional suffixes.
IV. dis- and en- both have negative meanings.
V. The head of the noun is -ation, the head of the verb is en- and the head of the adverb is -ly.
The correct statements are
I. Comment: the introduction should briefly describe the theme of your research, its aims and explain the importance of your research. Area: communicative aim of the genre.
II. Comment: I can understand your point here, but connect the sentences in this paragraph using linkers. Also, avoid repetition of words by using pronouns and synonyms. Area: organization and coherence.
III. Comment: avoid talking to your reader, that is not typical of introduction in research projects. Area: language accuracy.
IV. Comment: your target reader is the professor and/or another researcher, so use formal language, avoiding contractions and colloquial expressions. Area: appropriate register of the genre.
V. Comment: use present perfect here, since there is no time reference for the action and this can happen again. Area: appropriate tone of the genre.
VI. Comment: you discuss a number of different points in a single block. Divide it into different paragraphs. Area: layout and organization.
The statements in which the feedback comment is completely in line with the area are
Abstract Phrasal verbs are important for EFL and ESL education because of their high frequency, but can be difficult for learners because of their number and polysemy. While there are a number of studies on phrasal verbs, the widening focus of such studies has left a gap between theory and practical instruction. This study improves upon previous studies related to teaching phrasal verbs through cognitive linguistics by combining the theory of event conflation with corpus-based research to create a list of phrasal verb particles and meanings that is concise and yet comprehensive enough to account for approximately 95% of common phrasal verb meanings. It also reports the results of an experiment in which learners taught with this particle list improved more on pre-/post-tests of phrasal verbs than learners that studied a list of the most common phrasal verbs as whole entities (p<0.001, d=1.34). Quantitative and qualitative data presented in this study also indicate that learners taught with the particle list improved their ability to conjecture the meanings of novel phrasal verbs more effectively than learners who studied common phrasal verbs as whole units. Key words: Phrasal Verbs, Cognitive Linguistics, Corpus, Instruction Materials, TEFL, Second Language Acquisition.

Regarding the genre “abstract” and the model above, choose the correct alternative.
The tasks below are adapted versions of the activities, from the textbook, to work with the text. Match Tasks 1 – 6 with their main aim A – I. There are three extra aims which you do not need to use.
Tasks
Task 1 Discuss the questions in small groups.
1 Have you ever been to a job interview? How was the experience? What kind of questions did they ask you? Did you get the job?
2 What kind of questions do you expect to have in a job interview?
3 How can people get better prepared for a job interview?
Task 2 Look at the photo with the article. What do you think is happening? Do you think the question is one that someone might really ask in this situation? Why (not)?
Task 3 Read the article once and find out. How would you answer the question?
Task 4 Look at the highlighted words and phrases in the text. With a partner, try to figure out what they might mean and how you think they are pronounced.
Task 5 Read the article again. Using your own words, answer the questions.
1 What are extreme interviews? 2 What kind of companies first started using them? 3 Why do some people think that they are better than normal interviews?
Task 6 Do you think extreme interviews are a good way of choosing candidates? Which of the questions below (used in real interviews) do you think would work well? Why?
Adapted from: Face2Face Intermediate. Cris Redston and Gillie Cunningham. Cambridge University Press.

A. Integrating skills and personalizing the topic. B. Analyzing text organization. C. Inferring meaning of lexis from context. D. Predicting. E. Teaching grammar inductively using the text. F. Skimming. G. Activating schemata. H. Reading for details. I. Scanning.
Read Text I and answer the question.

Why We're Obsessed With the Mind-Blowing ChatGPT AI Chatbot

This artificial intelligence bot can answer questions, write essays, summarize documents and write software. But deep down, it doesn't know what's true.
Even if you aren't into artificial intelligence, it's time to pay attention to ChatGPT, because this one is a big deal.
The tool, from a power player in artificial intelligence called OpenAI, lets you type natural-language prompts. ChatGPT then offers conversational, if somewhat stilted, responses. The bot remembers the thread of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. It derives its answers from huge volumes of information on the internet.
ChatGPT is a big deal. The tool seems pretty knowledgeable in areas where there's good training data for it to learn from. It's not omniscient or smart enough to replace all humans yet, but it can be creative, and its answers can sound downright authoritative. A few days after its launch, more than a million people were trying out ChatGPT.
But be careful, OpenAI warns. ChatGPT has all kinds of potential pitfalls, some easy to spot and some more subtle.
“It's a mistake to be relying on it for anything important right now,” OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman tweeted. “We have lots of work to do on robustness and truthfulness.” […]
What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is an AI chatbot system that OpenAI released in November to show off and test what a very large, powerful AI system can accomplish. You can ask it countless questions and often will get an answer that's useful.
For example, you can ask it encyclopedia questions like, “Explain Newton's laws of motion.” You can tell it, "Write me a poem," and when it does, say, "Now make it more exciting." You ask it to write a computer program that'll show you all the different ways you can arrange the letters of a word.
Here's the catch: ChatGPT doesn't exactly know anything. It's an AI that's trained to recognize patterns in vast swaths of text harvested from the internet, then further trained with human assistance to deliver more useful, better dialog. The answers you get may sound plausible and even authoritative, but they might well be entirely wrong, as OpenAI warns.
