Estes termos são importantes para manter o que chamamos de coesão de um texto, isto é, quando as ideias transmitidas em frases e parágrafos estão interligadas e seguem uma lógica. É justamente por existir coesão em um texto que podemos dizer que ele ficou claro ou fácil de compreender.”

Plurilingualism and translanguaging: commonalities and divergences
Both plurilingual and translanguaging pedagogical practices in the education of language minoritized students remain controversial, for schools have a monolingual and monoglossic tradition that is hard to disrupt, even when the disrupting stance brings success to learners. At issue is the national identity that schools are supposed to develop in their students, and the Eurocentric system of knowledge, circulated through standardized named languages, that continues to impose what Quijano (2000) has called a coloniality of power.
All theories emerge from a place, an experience, a time, and a position, and in this case, plurilingualism and translanguaging have developed, as we have seen, from different loci of enunciation. But concepts do not remain static in a time and place, as educators and researchers take them up, as they travel, and as educators develop alternative practices. Thus, plurilingual and translanguaging pedagogical practices sometimes look the same, and sometimes they even have the same practical goals. For example, educators who say they use plurilingual pedagogical practices might insist on developing bilingual identities, and not solely use plurilingualism as a scaffold. And educators who claim to use translanguaging pedagogical practices sometimes use them only as a scaffold to the dominant language, not grasping its potential. In the United States, translanguaging pedagogies are often used in English-as-a-Second Language programs only as a scaffold. And although the potential for translanguaging is more likely to be found in bilingual education programs, this is also at times elusive. The potential is curtailed, for example, by the strict language allocation policies that have accompanied the growth of dual language education programs in the last decade in the USA, which come close to the neoliberal understanding of multilingualism espoused in the European Union.
It is important to keep the conceptual distinctions between plurilingualism and translanguaging at the forefront as we develop ways of enacting them in practice, even when pedagogies may turn out to look the same. Because the theoretical stance of translanguaging brings forth and affirms dynamic multilingual realities, it offers the potential to transform minoritized communities sense of self that the concept of plurilingualism may not always do. The purpose of translanguaging could be transformative of socio-political and socio-educational structures that legitimize the language hierarchies that exclude minoritized bilingual students and the epistemological understandings that render them invisible. In its theoretical formulation, translanguaging disrupts the concept of named languages and the power hierarchies in which languages are positioned. But the issue for the future is whether school authorities will allow translanguaging to achieve its potential, or whether it will silence it as simply another kind of scaffold. To the degree that educators act on translanguaging with political intent, it will continue to crack some openings and to open opportunities for bilingual students. Otherwise, the present conceptual differences between plurilingualism and translanguaging will be erased.

história da educação escolar no contexto ocidental é marcada, desde as suas origens na Antiguidade Clássica, pela maneira como se organizaram e se organizam as sociedades e pelas maneiras que atribuem valor e função social à escola ao longo do tempo. A esse respeito, analise as afirmações a seguir:
I.Na Antiguidade Clássica, os modos de ensinar e aprender foram profundamente influenciados pela educação grega - sobretudo espartana e ateniense - e pela educação romana.
II.Durante a Idade Média, a educação foi profundamente influenciada pela Reforma Protestante, que apregoava a liberdade dos métodos de ensino e a universalização da alfabetização.
III.A Educação escolar no Brasil Colônia foi profundamente influenciada pela Igreja Católica, sobretudo pelos educadores jesuítas, cuja abordagem pedagógica era marcada por uma intensa rigidez na maneira de pensar e de interpretar a realidade e métodos de ensino que privilegiavam o preparo, a seleção e o controle.
IV - No contexto pós-Revolução Industrial, ao longo do século XX, surgem, em países como Alemanha e Rússia, discussões sobre princípios educacionais que viriam a resultar, a partir da sistematização a elas dada por Dewey (nos Estados Unidos), na Escola Nova. Nela, defendia-se, entre outros princípios, conforme Manacorda (2002), a necessidade de jogos e brinquedos na instrução da criança; a aprendizagem ancorada no respeito; escolas equipadas com laboratórios; a psicologia como ferramenta para as exigências ativas; a educação como meio de transformação social e o aprender fazendo.

Ao que compete às Diretrizes Curriculares para a Educação Básica da Rede Municipal de Ensino de Florianópolis - SC (2015), analise as afirmações a seguir e registre V, para verdadeiras, e F, para falsas:
(__)Na organização de novos tempos e experiências educativas, os grupos geracionais têm um espaço de aprendizados assegurado, por isso a hierarquização entre as gerações é necessária. Entende-se que todo ser humano no interior de um dado grupo geracional tem competências à aprendizagem.
(__)Um trabalho pedagógico que toma a problematização como ponto de partida enriquece as experiências e permite aos estudantes atribuírem sentido aos conhecimentos e produtos culturais. Nesse sentido, os núcleos de ação pedagógica devem ser contemplados de modo fragmentado para, no fim, permitir uma abordagem global dos seus processos de aprendizagem.
(__)A instituição-comunidade tem se revelado central, dado o papel das instituições educacionais na organização social contemporânea. Esse elemento relacional pode consolidar a proposta de educação omnilateral. Nesse sentido, tal pressuposto amplia a ideia de prática pedagógica, além de reforçar o educar e o cuidar como indissociáveis.

Discourse genres refer to specific types or forms of communication that follow particular conventions, structures, and styles, and are used within specific contexts or communities to convey information, ideas, or meaning effectively. These genres can include various forms such as essays, reports, letters, conversations, speeches, and more, each tailored to suit the purpose and audience of the communication. Said that, consider the following statements about discourse genres in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages):
I.Discourse genres primarily focus on the structural aspects of language, such as grammar and vocabulary.
II.Discourse genres are a valuable pedagogical tool in TESOL as they provide students with the practical ability to use language in context, enabling effective communication and language acquisition.
III.In TESOL, discourse genres often revolve around written communication and are less relevant in spoken language instruction.

Observe the following clauses I and II:
I.If school authorities had allowed translanguaging to achieve its potential,
II.It could have cracked open more opportunities for students to have plurilingual contexts in the education system.

Plurilingualism and translanguaging: commonalities and divergences
Both plurilingual and translanguaging pedagogical practices in the education of language minoritized students remain controversial, for schools have a monolingual and monoglossic tradition that is hard to disrupt, even when the disrupting stance brings success to learners. At issue is the national identity that schools are supposed to develop in their students, and the Eurocentric system of knowledge, circulated through standardized named languages, that continues to impose what Quijano (2000) has called a coloniality of power.
All theories emerge from a place, an experience, a time, and a position, and in this case, plurilingualism and translanguaging have developed, as we have seen, from different loci of enunciation. But concepts do not remain static in a time and place, as educators and researchers take them up, as they travel, and as educators develop alternative practices. Thus, plurilingual and translanguaging pedagogical practices sometimes look the same, and sometimes they even have the same practical goals. For example, educators who say they use plurilingual pedagogical practices might insist on developing bilingual identities, and not solely use plurilingualism as a scaffold. And educators who claim to use translanguaging pedagogical practices sometimes use them only as a scaffold to the dominant language, not grasping its potential. In the United States, translanguaging pedagogies are often used in English-as-a-Second Language programs only as a scaffold. And although the potential for translanguaging is more likely to be found in bilingual education programs, this is also at times elusive. The potential is curtailed, for example, by the strict language allocation policies that have accompanied the growth of dual language education programs in the last decade in the USA, which come close to the neoliberal understanding of multilingualism espoused in the European Union.
It is important to keep the conceptual distinctions between plurilingualism and translanguaging at the forefront as we develop ways of enacting them in practice, even when pedagogies may turn out to look the same. Because the theoretical stance of translanguaging brings forth and affirms dynamic multilingual realities, it offers the potential to transform minoritized communities sense of self that the concept of plurilingualism may not always do. The purpose of translanguaging could be transformative of socio-political and socio-educational structures that legitimize the language hierarchies that exclude minoritized bilingual students and the epistemological understandings that render them invisible. In its theoretical formulation, translanguaging disrupts the concept of named languages and the power hierarchies in which languages are positioned. But the issue for the future is whether school authorities will allow translanguaging to achieve its potential, or whether it will silence it as simply another kind of scaffold. To the degree that educators act on translanguaging with political intent, it will continue to crack some openings and to open opportunities for bilingual students. Otherwise, the present conceptual differences between plurilingualism and translanguaging will be erased.

Read the following statements about English and language conceptions:
I.The official document called 'BNCC' treats the English language, prioritizing the focus on the social and political function of the language, in its status as a língua franca.
II.According to BNCC, the concept of English as a foreign language is heavily criticized for its Eurocentric bias.
III.According to BNCC, other language concepts such as international language, global language, additional language and língua franca are more up to date and because of that the term 'foreign language' should be left in the past and never be used in any type of context.
