Because the culture of any community has many facets and
manifestations, it would be practically impossible to deal with all
of them in the classroom and prepare students for the many
situations that they might encounter in the course of their
functioning in ESL/EFL environments.
Uma vez que a cultura de qualquer comunidade tem muitas facetas e manifestações, seria praticamente impossível lidar com todas elas na sala de aula e preparar os alunos para as muitas situações que podem encontrar no decurso da sua atuação em ambientes de ESL/EFL.
However, many important
aspects of teaching the second culture can be brought forth and
addressed via classroom instruction, and some of these are
discussed here.
No entanto, muitos aspectos importantes do ensino da segunda cultura podem ser trazidos à luz e abordados, através de instruções em sala de aula, e alguns deles são aqui discutidos.
The most important long-term benefits of
teaching culture may be to provide learners with the awareness
and the tools that will allow them to achieve their academic,
professional, social, and personal goals and become successful in
their daily functioning in L2 environments.
Os benefícios mais importantes a longo prazo do ensino da cultura podem ser o de proporcionar aos alunos a sensibilização e as ferramentas que lhes permitirão atingir os seus objetivos acadêmicos, profissionais, sociais e pessoais e ter sucesso no seu funcionamento diário em ambientes de L2.

A father earns the gratitude of his children by nurturing them
to be preeminent in the Assembly of the Learned.
Thirukural, verse 67, circa 100 A.D. in: KUMARAVADIVELU, B. 2003.
Regular verbs ending in voiced sounds are pronounced with the
sound /d/ in the simple past and past perfect, and so are most
adjectives with the same form. However, the word “Learned”,
present in the quotation above, has a distinctive pronunciation
feature when functioning as an adjective or a noun: /ˈlɜːnɪd/.
Among the words below, choose the one that follows the same
characteristic of pronunciation when used in such functions.

Speakers use a finite set of rules to produce and understand
an infinite set of possible sentences. These rules comprise the
grammar of a language, which is learned when you acquire the
language and includes the sound system, the structure of words,
how words may be combined into phrases and sentences, the
ways in which sounds and meanings are related, and the words
or lexicon. The sounds and meanings of these words are related
in an arbitrary fashion. And so are the gestures used by deaf
signers. Language, then, is a system that relates sounds (or hand
and body gestures) with meanings; when you know a language
you know this system.

Is other a verb?
Like many English words, other possesses great flexibility in
meaning and function. Over the past few centuries, it has served
as an adjective, an adverb, a noun, and a pronoun. In recent
decades, other has increased its part-of-speech portfolio to
include verb use, having acquired the meaning "to treat or
consider (a person or a group of people) as alien to oneself or
one's group.” Some people find it disconcerting when a word
takes on a new part of speech, a process known as functional
shift. The phenomenon is quite common, however -- our
language contains many thousands of words which are reported
to have been formed in this fashion.

In the sentence taken from the text “Over the past few centuries,
it has served as an adjective, an adverb, a noun, and a pronoun”,
the pronoun in bold letters refers to the word “other”.
Sometimes, though, “it” does not have a referent and serves a
grammatical function only, thus being named, for example,
“dummy it”. Mark the alternative in which “it” has a referent.
(A) When I left the office, it was way past midnight.
(B) I like it better when I don’t have to worry about driving to the
beach.
(C) Would it be possible to leave now?
(D) It is too late to try to fix what was damaged.
(E) The weather is beautiful today, isn’t it?

extreme weather events.
(B) NGO’s now have their likelihood of securing grant funding for
impactful social projects increased with grants from the UNO.

AI has made it easier than ever to find information: Ask
ChatGPT almost anything, and the system swiftly delivers an
answer. But the large language models that power popular tools
like OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Anthropic’s Claude were not designed
to be accurate or factual. They regularly “hallucinate” and offer
up falsehoods as if they were hard facts.
Yet people are relying more and more on AI to answer their
questions. Half of all people in the U.S. between the ages of 14
and 22 now use AI to get information, according to a 2024
Harvard study.
