Text I
English Language Learning In Brazil
According to the BNCC¹, learning English enables students to engage and participate in a globalized and pluralistic world. It allows students to develop a critical mindset and exercise their citizenship rights while expanding the possibilities of interaction and mobility. In this sense, the BNCC outlines three critical implications for the English curriculum. The first is the globalized nature of English, in which the concepts of language, territory and culture are reconsidered since English speakers are no longer found only in countries where English is the official language. The second implication concerns broadening the definition of literacy, bringing the concept of "multi-literacies" to the Brazilian curriculum as students expand their linguistic knowledge, and English becomes a symbolic asset for Brazilians to express themselves in a different language. Finally, the third implication concerns different teaching approaches, which implies embracing the culture and traditions of the language, not only the formal grammatical standards, breaking with aspects related to "correctness", "accuracy", and "proficiency".

Even in a challenging context, it is clear that Brazil has made significant progress by approving a new and flexible curriculum for upper secondary schools and putting English mandatory in the standard part of the curriculum. However, major efforts are still required to ensure the smooth implementation of this reform, which the pandemic and the difficulties in coordination across the national and subnational levels have already hindered.

Análise das afirmações:
- (F) The BNCC suggests that grammatical rules should obliterate cultural aspects.
O texto afirma que a BNCC implica "embracing the culture and traditions of the language, not only the formal grammatical standards, breaking with aspects related to 'correctness', 'accuracy', and 'proficiency'". Isso significa que a cultura deve ser abraçada junto com (e não obliterada por) as normas gramaticais, e que a rigidez da gramática ("correctness") deve ser flexibilizada, não que a gramática deva destruir a cultura. Portanto, a afirmação é falsa. - (T) The text supports the view that English language teaching should be compulsory in secondary schools.
O texto menciona que o Brasil fez "significant progress by approving a new and flexible curriculum for upper secondary schools and putting English mandatory in the standard part of the curriculum". A palavra "mandatory" (obrigatório) confirma que o ensino de inglês é compulsório no currículo do ensino médio, e a menção de "significant progress" indica que o texto apoia essa medida. Portanto, a afirmação é verdadeira. - (T) Some factors, including the pandemic, have affected the implementation of the curriculum reform mentioned.
O texto declara explicitamente que a implementação da reforma foi "hindered" (prejudicada/afetada) pela "pandemic and the difficulties in coordination across the national and subnational levels". Portanto, a afirmação é verdadeira.
A sequência correta das afirmações é F – T – T.
(A) Incorreta: A primeira afirmação é falsa, mas a segunda está incorreta na alternativa.
(B) Incorreta: A primeira afirmação é falsa, e as outras também estão incorretas na alternativa.
(C) Correta: A sequência F – T – T corresponde exatamente à análise das afirmações baseada no texto.
(D) Incorreta: A primeira afirmação é falsa, e a terceira está incorreta na alternativa.
