WHY DO YOU NEED THEORY 
 
“We need theory because every practice is informed by theory. Though we might think, in our early 
experiences as teachers, that we follow our intuition or simply repeat patterns learned throughout our 
lives as students, that is not accurate. Every step taken in the classroom was thought of long before we 
started our school years”. Source: Lesson 1 (topic 1 – Why do we need theory)

WHAT IS PRAXIS? 
 
“Human existence cannot be silent, nor can it be nourished by false words, but only by true words, with 
which men and women transform the world. To exist, humanly, is to name the world, to change it. Once 
named, the world in its turn reappears to the namers as a problem and requires of them a new naming. 
Human beings are not built in silence, but in word, in work, in action-reflection. (Freire, 2014, p. 88)”.

MULTIPLE LITERACIES 
 
“The authors recognize the advance proposed by theories of multiliteracies in the sense of 
encompassing different languages and validating them but accuse these theories of still focusing on the 
separation and compartmentalization of modes of meaning production and language naming. In this way, 
García and Kleifgen (2020) defend the theory of translanguaging as a perspective that takes into account 
the characteristics of peoples marginalized and oppressed by such distinctions and points out how these 
have erroneously classified monolingual students as being deficient in school when, in fact, their 
repertoire of knowledge and ability to move between different languages and forms of meaning 
production has been neglected and silenced by policies that value uniformity and maintenance of the 
status quo, by denying diversity (García, 2009, 2017; Vogel; García, 2017; Canagarajah, 2011; Li, 2017).” 
Source: Lesson 3 (Theme 5 – Multiple literacies) 
 
Which of the following statements accurately reflects García and Kleifgen's perspective on the pedagogy 
of multiliteracies and the concept of translanguaging? 
 
 B 
Theories of multiliteracies promote a broader view of linguistic repertoire and challenge monolingual and 
monoglossic teaching models.

THE PEDAGOGY OF MULTILITERACIES 
 
“Besides acknowledging the various modes of meaning we deal with in contemporary times, the 
pedagogy of multiliteracies considers the cultural diversity and multilingualism characteristic of an 
increasingly globalized society and with diminishing borders between nation-states, making pluri- or 
multilingualism a recognized characteristic that is growing among human beings in different spaces of 
the globe. Knowing how to deal with this linguistic and, consequently, cultural plurality, is something 
that, according to the authors, must be considered in the training of teachers for contemporary and 
future scenarios”. Source: Lesson 3 (Theme 3 – The pedagogy of multiliteracies) 
 
Which of the following statements accurately reflects the purpose of the pedagogy of multiliteracies, as 
discussed in the “technology, multiliteracies and multimodalities”? 
 
 C The pedagogy of multiliteracies recognizes the cultural diversity and multilingualism in an 
increasingly globalized society.Você assinalou essa alternativa (C)

CONCEPT OF TECHNOLOGY 
 
“Dudley and Hockney (2008), when approaching the use of technology for language teaching, talk about 
how the blackboard itself was a technology, since it represented the opportunity to quickly write 
messages and erase them so that a large audience could follow them together with the speech being 
delivered. Barton and Lee (2013, p. 2) mention we are living in an era of the “domestication of 
technology”, where digital technologies are so rapidly becoming more present in our lives that we don’t 
even notice how much time is spent dealing with digital devices” 
Source: Lesson 5 (Theme 1 – Concept of technology) 
 
Which of the following statements is true about the relationship between technology and language 
teaching, based on the given passage? 
 
 C 
Digital technologies have become so prevalent in our lives that we are not aware of the amount of time 
we spend with them.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO TALK ABOUT LITERACY WHEN TEACHING ENGLISH? 
 
“Our education should prepare learners to become designers of meanings, being able to deal with information 
deriving from videos, images, audio, gestures, etc. (New London Group, At the same time, schools should adapt 
their practices to the reality experienced outside the walls of a classroom, by innovating their methods and 
stimulating new teaching initiatives, such as investing in new hardware and software that could enhance learning 
in general. Besides the technical apparatus, the human component of education, that is, the relationship 
teacher-student is also central to this theme. Future teachers might not be sufficiently prepared for the challenges 
of our new era of teaching courses and insist on educating professionals based on the old formula of chalk and 
blackboard. Discussions on the content and methods addressed in initial education courses for teachers have 
long been an area of study since solid teacher preparation is more likely to result in better-prepared teachers”.

CRITICAL LITERACIES

that proposed by Street, and also affirm that critical literacy is not a method, but a posture towards texts, in order 
to provoke reflections on aspects of the culture in which some voices are erased or silencing as opposed to the 
privileges or prominence of others”. Source: Lesson 2 (Theme 1 – Critical literacies) 
 
According to the passage, what is the nature of critical literacy?
