Generation Y or the millennials: digital natives
The revolution was shaped by the millennials or generation Y.
Also known as digital natives, millennials are those born
between 1982 and 1994 and technology is part of their everyday lives: all their activities are mediated by a screen.
The concept of on
and off is completely integrated into their lives. However, they were not born into it; they migrated to the digital world from the
analogue one in which they were living.
Unlike previous generations, because of the economic crisis, the world requires them to be better trained to get a job, as
competition is increasing.
Unlike their parents, Generation X, digital natives are not satisfied with the world around them and are
ambitious and want to achieve their goals.
However, the millennial generation is labelled as being lazy, narcissistic and spoilt. In fact, in 2014, Time magazine labelled
them as the me-me-me generation.

Call Me Libertad
Some of the things we see are apples with worms,
Maggots, expired juices, and other badly spoiled food.
Others are denied basic care, like fever or cold medicine.
The medical department solution?
“Drink a lot of water.”
Every day we wonder who will be deported next.
Every morning we look around for our friends.
We make sure they are still here.
Those who are deported are taken at the wee hours,
Setting that fear among us as if we were kids afraid of the dark.
While we wait behind these walls, all we can do is watch.
Watch all that we've worked for all these years go down in flames.
And our families?
They are scattered, living with relatives.
And our children?
They ask and wonder, “When is Daddy coming home?”
We don't ask for much. Just for liberty and justice for all.
HIDALGO, C.

❑ TEXTO:
Linguistic variation refers to the differences in language use across different regions, social groups, or contexts.
In the context of
English language teaching, especially in countries like Brazil, where English is a foreign language, incorporating linguistic variation
plays a crucial role in developing students' communicative competence.
English is not a monolithic language; it has many varieties,
including British,American,Australian, Indian, and Nigerian English, among others.
Each variety is associated with different accents,
vocabulary, grammar, and cultural contexts.
One challenge in English language teaching is the overemphasis on certain "standard" forms of English, often British or American, to
the exclusion of other varieties.
This can lead to a narrow understanding of the language and limit students' ability to interact in global
contexts where English is spoken in diverse forms.
By exposing students to different accents, dialects, and usages, teachers can prepare
them for real-world communication, where English functions as a global lingua franca.
This approach also promotes linguistic
tolerance and awareness, teaching students that no variety is inherently superior to another, but that different varieties serve different
communicative purposes.
For example, a Brazilian student learning British English may encounter challenges when interacting with a Nigerian English speaker
due to different pronunciations and expressions.
Thus, it's important that students not only learn the grammatical structure of English
but also develop the ability to adapt to and understand different varieties of English.
This adaptability enhances their global
communication skills.
Additionally, the (BNCC) encourages teaching English as a means of fostering global citizenship Base Nacional Comum Curricular
and intercultural communication, which implicitly requires an understanding of linguistic variation.
Recognizing English as a plural
language, with many forms and functions, aligns with the goal of preparing students for global engagement.

❑ 32nd QUESTION – Why is it important to include linguistic variation in English language teaching, particularly in non-English-speaking countries?
a) It prevents students from experiencing confusion when exposed to different varieties of English.
b) Exposing students to different varieties of English enhances their ability to communicate globally and understand diverse cultures.
c) Linguistic variation helps students master only the formal aspects of a single standard variety of English.
d) Linguistic variation is irrelevant in language teaching, as standard forms are the only ones students will encounter.
e) Teaching only one variety of English ensures that students will speak the language perfectly, without making mistakes.
