Many studies about language learning ask the question: What makes a good language learner?

Muitos estudos sobre a aprendizagem de línguas levantam a questão: O que é um bom aprendiz de línguas?

• "language learner" - aprendiz de língua.

There are some things that good language learners do and some things they don’t do. Here are some of the most useful suggestions from studies:

Há algumas coisas que os bons alunos de línguas fazem e outras que não fazem. Eis algumas das sugestões mais úteis dos estudos:

• Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. People often get things wrong. Good language learners notice their mistakes and learn from them.

Não tenha medo de cometer erros. Muitas vezes as pessoas entendem as coisas erradas. Os bons aprendizes de línguas percebem os seus erros e aprendem com eles.

• Do group activities. People use language to communicate with other people. A good language learner always looks for opportunities to talk with other students.

Faça atividades em grupo. As pessoas utilizam a linguagem para comunicar com outras pessoas. Um bom aluno de línguas procura sempre oportunidades para conversar com outros alunos.

• Make notes during every class. Notes help you to remember new language. Look at your notes when you do your homework.

Faça anotações durante cada aula. As notas ajudam-no a lembrar-se do novo idioma. Observe as suas anotações ao fazer os trabalhos de casa.

• Use a dictionary. Good language learners often use dictionaries to check the meaning of words they don’t know. They also make their own vocabulary lists.

Utilize um dicionário. Os bons aprendizes de línguas utilizam frequentemente dicionários para verificar o significado de palavras que não conhecem. Também fazem as suas próprias listas de vocabulário.

• Think in the language you’re learning outside the classroom. When you’re shopping or walking down the street, remember useful words and phrases. Sometimes, when you’re at home, say new words to practise your pronunciation.

Pense no idioma que está aprendendo fora da sala de aula. Quando estiver fazendo compras ou passeando pela rua, lembre-se de palavras e frases úteis. Por vezes, quando estiver em casa, diga novas palavras para praticar a sua pronúncia.

• Do extra practice. Test and improve your language, reading and listening skills with self-study material. You can find a lot of this online.

Faça prática extra. Teste e melhore as suas habilidades de linguagem, leitura e compreensão oral com material de auto-estudo. Pode encontrar muito disso online.

• Imagine yourself speaking in the language. Many good language learners can see and hear themselves speaking in the language. This helps their motivation.

Imagine-se falando no idioma. Muitos bons alunos de línguas conseguem ver e ouvir-se falando na língua. Isso ajuda na motivação deles.

Enjoy the process. Good language learners have fun with the language. Watch a TV series or film, listen to songs, play video games or read a book. It’s never too late to become a good language learner.

Aproveite o processo. Os bons alunos de línguas divertem-se com o idioma. Veja uma série de TV ou um filme, ouça música, jogue videojogos ou leia um livro. Nunca é tarde para se tornar um bom aluno de línguas.

Managing globalization: if it’s here to stay, what do we know?

Gerir a globalização: se veio para ficar, o que sabemos?

• Daniel Altman

Two decades have passed since the word “globalization” started showing up with any frequency in discussions of business and economics.

Passaram duas décadas desde que a palavra “globalização” começou a aparecer com alguma frequência nas discussões sobre negócios e economia.

At first, the focus was on Western companies trying to compete with cheaper, sometimes better imports from Japan, South Korea, China and other countries.

No início, o foco estava nas empresas ocidentais que tentavam competir com importações mais baratas, por vezes melhores, do Japão, Coreia do Sul, China e outros países.

It was a straight fight: the battle lines were drawn along each country’s borders.

Foi uma luta direta: as linhas de batalha foram traçadas ao longo das fronteiras de cada país.

Later on, things become more complex. Asian companies started designing and assembling products in the West. Western companies opened up new fronts by sending jobs abroad - not just in manufacturing but in service industries as well.

Mais tarde, as coisas tornam-se mais complexas. As empresas asiáticas começaram a conceber e a montar produtos no Ocidente. As empresas ocidentais abriram novas frentes enviando empregos para o estrangeiro – não apenas na indústria transformadora, mas também nas indústrias de serviços.

At the turn of the millennium, there was a lot of talk about whether globalization was a Good Thing or a Bad Thing.

Na virada do milênio, falava-se muito sobre se a globalização era uma coisa boa ou má. 

One side argued that it allowed big, multinational corporations to exploit workers in poor countries to pad their profit margins.

Um dos lados argumentou que permitiu que grandes empresas multinacionais explorassem trabalhadores em países pobres para aumentar as suas margens de lucro.

The other side retorted that the expansion of these corporations into the developing world offered the best hope for raising living standards.

O outro lado respondeu que a expansão destas empresas no mundo em desenvolvimento oferecia a melhor esperança para  melhorar os padrões de vida. 

• "Living standard"(noun)(standard of living) - Padrão de vida.
• "improve/raise + living standard",

One side complained that globalization was creating and destroying industries too quickly for the labor force to adjust.

Um dos lados queixou-se de que a globalização estava criando e destruindo indústrias muito rapidamente para que a força de trabalho se pudesse ajustar.

• "too quickly" - muito rapidamente, rápido demais, precipitadamente.

The other side answered that these shifts were rapidly improving the world’s ability to use its resources efficiently.

O outro lado respondeu que estas mudanças estavam a melhorando rapidamente a capacidade do mundo de utilizar os seus recursos de forma eficiente.

Now, it’s pretty clear that globalization, be it good or bad, is an Unavoidable Thing (...)

Agora, é bastante claro que a globalização, seja ela boa ou má, é uma coisa inevitável (...)

• "an Unavoidable Thing" - uma coisa inevitável, uma questão inadiável.
