ABSTRACT This work results of a qualitative research study conducted through document analysis, primarily grounded in Education in Science theorists from various backgrounds, under the interdisciplinary perspective of Applied Linguistics (AL). It investigates a set of activities proposed and implemented in the teaching of academic writing from 2011 to 2021 within the context of the Interdisciplinary Higher Education Program (ProFIS) at the State University of Campinas (Unicamp). The objective was to identify evidence of pedagogical work with practices and knowledge related to the sciences and to critically examine representations and discourses about sciences based on didactic activities in a linguistic education component of the mentioned program. The results revealed possibilities to broaden approaches that promote scientific education, particularly through didactic strategies that more directly involve students in investigative practices or scientific thinking. Additionally, it presents a highly fertile context for showcasing research conducted by scientists in the field of linguistic studies or applied linguistics, emphasizing the commitment of research conducted there to ever-emerging investigative demands in society. analysis backgrounds AL.

Abstract This article paper explores the evaluation of artificial intelligence (AI) in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing courses and the importance of calibration in writing evaluations. The role of calibration has received little attention in language contexts, while the role of artificial intelligence has gained increased attention in the last couple of years. This investigation, conducted from August 2022 to March 2023, involved eight TESOL students enrolled in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) major at a Costa Rican public university, ten TESOL university professors, and one AI piece of software. It used a quantitative, quasi-experimental design, and a language elicitation data collection process. Data was collected by means of a rubric-based writing assessment. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Data analyses indicate that: 1) human-created paragraphs (X̄ = 7,56) and AI writing (X̄ = 7,61) yield similar results when evaluated; 2) some criteria may favor human creativity or computer, rule-oriented writing; and 3) professors’ ratings reveal inconsistencies when grading human writing in particular. These findings demonstrate that AI matches, at least to a basic level, human writing skills. Furthermore, data show that students may be falling behind in aspects such as grammar, vocabulary, and mechanics. Finally, the analysis indicates that professors’ grading lacks consistency, and a calibration model should be incorporated as part of regular training workshops.

Resumen Este artículo explora la evaluación de la inteligencia artificial (IA) en cursos de escritura en inglés como lengua extranjera (ILE) y la importancia de la calibración en las evaluaciones de escritura. El papel de la calibración ha recibido poca atención en contextos lingüísticos, mientras que la inteligencia artificial ha ganado mayor reconocimiento en los últimos años. La investigación se realizó desde agosto de 2022 hasta marzo de 2023, e involucró a ocho estudiantes de TESOL en un bachillerato en inglés como lengua extranjera (ILE) en una universidad pública de Costa Rica: diez docentes de TESOL a nivel universitario y un software de IA. Se utilizó un diseño cuasiexperimental cuantitativo y una recopilación de datos de elicitación de lenguaje. Los datos fueron recopilados mediante una rúbrica que midió la producción escrita. Los datos cuantitativos se analizaron utilizando estadística descriptiva. El análisis de datos indica que: 1) los párrafos creados por humanos (X̄ = 7,56) y la escritura de IA (X̄ = 7,61) producen resultados similares; 2) algunos criterios pueden favorecer la creatividad humana o la escritura orientada a reglas; y 3) el profesorado presenta inconsistencias al calificar la escritura humana en particular. Estos hallazgos demuestran que la IA se equipara, al menos a nivel básico, con las habilidades de escritura humana. Además, los datos muestran que el estudiantado puede estar quedándose atrás en aspectos como gramática, vocabulario y puntuación. Finalmente, el análisis indica que la calificación de docentes carece de consistencia, y un modelo de calibración debería ser incorporado como parte de su formación.

RESUMEN Las prácticas preprofesionales resultan un pilar fundamental en la Formación Docente en Lenguas Extranjeras y constituyen el modo y momento propicio para que los docentes en formación se vinculen con su trabajo futuro, lo que supone un uso responsable, autónomo y contextuado del conocimiento adquirido; además de un alto desarrollo del pensamiento complejo, riguroso, creativo y operativo. Tomando en cuenta este precepto, se realizó una investigación para analizar el proceso de prácticas preprofesionales en la carrera de Pedagogía de los Idiomas Nacionales y Extranjeros de la Universidad Nacional de Chimborazo, a partir de los testimonios de los estudiantes de octavo semestre en el periodo académico 2022-1S. Dicho estudio siguió el paradigma interpretativo y el enfoque cualitativo de la investigación científica. Con el aporte del método biográfico narrativo y entrevistas en profundidad se obtuvieron las perspectivas de los participantes en cuanto al proceso en cuestión. Para el análisis de las narrativas se utilizó el Modelo de Análisis Temático. Los principales resultados reflejan posturas críticas de la población de estudio en torno al rol que juegan las prácticas preprofesionales en su formación profesional; hecho particular que permitió elucidar las bondades, limitaciones y desafíos del proceso en el contexto de estudio.

ABSTRACT Pre-professional internships are a fundamental pillar in teacher training in foreign languages and constitute the propitious way and moment for teachers in training to be linked to their future work, which implies a responsible, autonomous and contextualized use of the knowledge acquired, as well as a high development of complex, rigorous, creative and operative thinking. Taking into account this precept, a research was conducted to analyze the process of pre-professional practices in the career of Pedagogy of National and Foreign Languages at the National University of Chimborazo, based on the testimonies of eighth semester students in the academic period 2022-1S. This study followed the interpretative paradigm and the qualitative approach of scientific research. With the contribution of the biographical narrative method and in-depth interviews, the participants' perspectives on the process in question were obtained. The Thematic Analysis Model was used to analyze the narratives. The main results reflect critical positions of the study population regarding the role played by pre-professional practices in their professional training; a particular fact that allowed elucidating the benefits, limitations and challenges of the process in the study context.

Education systems are shaped by various internal and external contextual forces (De Beer, 2017). External contextual trends typically include language, demography, geography, technology, politics, and financial and economic trends. Religion represents one of these external contextual trends that can affect an education system (see Van der Walt, Potgieter & Wolhuter, 2010; Wolhuter & Van der Walt, 2018). Making use of established metabletic-comparative methodology, this article seeks to highlight the impact of religion as a formative factor of education in the BRICS countries. Religion is treated significantly differently in the education systems of the BRICS member states. In schools in India and China, no religious activities are allowed in accordance with the respective constitutions, while any religious activities may take place in schools in Brazil, Russia and South Africa, provided that the activities comply with particular guidelines. Broadly considered, any religious activities are conducted in primary schools in Brazil, provided that attendance is voluntary. Religion in Brazilian schools is influenced by the strong position of the Roman Catholic faith in Brazilian society, which could potentially be detrimental to minority groups in Brazil (Senefonte, 2018:440). Learners in Russia, according to Russian law, are free to choose for themselves the religious module in which they wish to receive education. Schools in Russia do not, however, always implement this legislation correctly, since a school's resources actually determine which module the learners should take. The manner in which religion is being dealt with, causes unhappiness among learners and parents as they do not really have freedom of choice regarding the religious module in which they wish to receive instruction (Zöllner, 2016). The legislation in China clearly states that no religious activities may take place in public schools, yet the ruling party of China intends to enshrine tenets of atheism in learners in schools (Vickers, 2022; Wang & Froese, 2020). Compared to the other BRICS member states, China has the most officially, constitutionally recognised ethnic groups. In terms of legislation and policy formulations, the ethnic minority groups obtain various benefits in terms of education. The wide variety of ethnic groupings poses various challenges to the government of China as the views of all these groups in the education system have to be taken into account. Various documents, including the South African Schools Act 76 of 1996, and other education policies provide clear guidelines as to how religion ought to be dealt with in South African schools. In South Africa, learners are taught various major deities worldwide. All learners in South Africa are exposed to the concept of religion through the subject Life Orientation (Grades 7-12). Teachers in South Africaface the challenge of respecting all kinds of religions and not preaching their own views on a religion. This challenge of respecting all religions can result in conflict in schools, as learners may feel that they will be discriminated against if one type of religion is singled out, for example during assembly. This underscores the role and value of South African teachers in inculcating citizenship values (see Wolhuter, Janmaat, Van der Walt & Potgieter, 2020). The Government of India faces opposition from minority groups with regard to religion in schools as the socio-political hegemony religion is especially preferred in terms of the drafting of academic textbooks (Traub, 2018). This preferential treatment of a particular religion is contrary to the Indian constitution, as no single religion may be singled out, nor should any religion be discriminated against (Majumdar, 2018). The preference given to a particular religion in textbooks can result in a negative impact on the education system of India. The analysis and interpretation show that there is still a close relationship between religion and education in the BRICS countries. However, all five BRICS member states face different problems regarding religion and each of the five member states also deals with its problems differently. This conclusion is now unpacked in this summary, and in detail defended in the ensuing full text. In terms of dealing with religion, South Africa appears to be more tolerant than Brazil, Russia, India and China, although this tolerance still causes more problems for the South African government, in the sense of opposition from various adherents of a wide variety of faith groupings who would like schools to play a role in strengthening the religious beliefs of their children. Several court cases have been fought in South Africa as schools struggle to accommodate the wishes of all religious groups in South Africa (see Nthontho, 2020). In contrast to forces in all the BRICS countries trying to separate religion and (public) education, the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, the proto-charter of Human Rights Charters in the contemporary world, Article 26 states that everyone has the right to education, education should be oriented towards the total development of the child's personality, and that parents have a preferential right to decide on the type of education their children should receive. The BRICS member states can learn from each other how to deal with religion in schools, even though none have yet managed to deal satisfactorily with religion in education. The common factor among all five BRICS countries is that religion is used again and again (consciously or unconsciously) to reinforce political or ideological hegemony. It seems that the shortcoming in all these countries is pointing to a lack of recognition of the place and role of religion in the lives of their citizens and that secular-political objectives, notably the forcing of official ideological hegemony, as well as the achievement of national unity above the full recognition of religious freedom, are also stated in the education system and in citizens 'choice of the kind of religious education of their children. As a result, the role of religion in creating a strong moral fibre for a society therefore never seems to come into its own. Moreover, judging by the United Nations Charter's Human Rights provisions on education, educative education (incl. teaching and learning), in accordance with its full scope of semantic value, does not currently come into its own. The same seems to be the case as regards the human right to parental advocacy with respect to religious education. The experience of the BRICS countries in terms of religion-in-education shows that it is sensible and even necessary, for example, along the path of enlarged parental speech in education and school autonomy, to allow more room for religious freedom in education. The BRICS countries are currently being proposed as the leading grouping of the Global South in a new formative world order. Against this background, current trends regarding religion-in-education in these countries therefore probably represent a bold example. However, it should nonetheless be denounced by the academic community and better examples should subsequently be extracted and presented from other national education systems from future research.

'n Onderwysstelsel word deur verskeie samelewingskontekstuele kragte gevorm. Hierdie kontekstuele faktore sluit taal, demografie, geografie, tegnologie, politiek en finansiële en ekonomiese tendense in. Godsdiens is een van die laasgenoemde tendense wat 'n onderwys-stelsel kan beïnvloed. Die BRICS-organisasie bestaan uit Brasilië, Rusland, Indië, Sjina en Suid-Afrika en is 'n supra-nasionale blok wat baie aandag in die openbare sowel as akademiese diskoers oor internasionale politiek en maatskaplike kwessies trek (De Beer, 2017). Godsdiens word wyd geag as 'n omstrede en sensitiewe faktor in onderwysstelsels (sien Van der Walt, Potgieter & Wolhuter, 2010). In hierdie artikel word godsdiens as vormgewende faktor van die onderwysstelsels in die BRICS-lande ondersoek, om die waarde daarvan as 'n aanskouingsles vir Suid-Afrika en ander lande te bepaal. Die BRICS-lidlande is doelbewus vir hierdie navorsing gekies weens die besondere waarde van hierdie lande as vertoonvenster van onderwysstelsels se antwoord op samelewingstendense van die een-en-twintigste eeu. Dokumentontleding is uitgevoer ten opsigte van beleidsdokumente, wetgewing, artikels en staatspublikasies, ten einde inligting in te samel. In die verwerking en interpretasie van inligting is die metableties-vergelykende metode gebruik ten einde beste praktyke ten opsigte van die hantering van godsdiens in die onderwysstelsels vanuit die BRICS-lidlande te identifiseer. Die ondersoek het ernstige tekortkominge in al die BRICS-lande se hantering van godsdiens in onderwys aan die lig gebring. Nie een van die lande se beleid of praktyk slaag die toets, soos gemeet aan die Verenigde Nasies se Handves van Menseregte nie. Die noodsaak van voortgesette navorsing oor die plek van godsdiens in die onderwysstelsels van die wêreld word ten slotte verduidelik.

With this article I explore the relationship between core academic language skills (CALS) - a construct representing a set of high-utility language skills needed to manage the linguistic features prevalent in academic texts across content areas - and schooling outcomes. There has long been an understanding that there is a distinction between academic language and colloquial language, originally described by Jim Cummins (1976) as cognitive academic language proficiency (CALP) and basic interpersonal communication skills (BICS). The construct has only recently been operationalised (Uccelli, Phillips Galloway, Barr, Meneses & Dobbs, 2015) as the individual skills and competencies that underlie CALP. The CALS construct describes an empirically testable set of competencies that address this need. This has been used in the development of an assessment instrument aimed at South African learners - the CALS-I-ZA (MacFarlane, Barr & Uccelli, 2022) - and I investigate whether a measurable link exists between this assessment and schooling outcomes for a sample of Grade 6 learners in 2 public schools in the Gauteng province of South Africa. Schooling outcomes have been measured using the Gauteng Provincial Common Assessments - a provincial examination intended to measure schooling outcomes on a comparable assessment instrument. The study reported on here shows a moderately strong correlation between the CALS-I-ZA and the provincial common examinations (r = 0.64 and r = 0.65). This predictive relationship between CALS and schooling outcomes leads to an argument for direct instruction in CALS as an embedded feature of pedagogy in South Africa.

Resumen: El artículo analiza la frecuencia y la forma en que se trabaja la lectura personal en las secciones de literatura de libros de texto de Brasil y Portugal. El corpus se compuso de 73 ejercicios de comprensión textual pertenecientes a dos libros de texto de Lengua Portuguesa del 4º grado de enseñanza básica, uno de cada país. El análisis, basado en la técnica de análisis de contenido, consistió en las etapas de mapeo y categorización de las muestras, y sus resultados se discutieron cuantitativa y cualitativamente. Los resultados indican que los ejercicios que solicitan la expresión de la subjetividad son poco frecuentes. En ambos casos, son preponderantes las actividades de lectura personal centradas en el gusto, el acuerdo/desacuerdo y la emisión de opinión, y rara vez se proponen preguntas sobre la identificación/no identificación con el texto. El mayor punto de divergencia entre los manuales brasileño y portugués se refiere al lugar ocupado por las preguntas personales en la secuencia didáctica, lo que suscitó reflexiones sobre las implicaciones de promover la expresión de la subjetividad antes y/o después de la lectura.

Abstract: The study analyzes the incidence and the manner in which personal reading is covered by the literature sections of textbooks from Brazil and Portugal. The corpus consisted of 73 reading comprehension exercises belonging to two Portuguese language manuals, one from each country, of the 4th year of basic education. Grounded on content analysis, the study comprised mapping and categorization of the samples, while the results were organized and discussed quantitatively and qualitatively. The results indicate that exercises requiring subjectivity are lacking. In both cases, personal reading activities focused on taste, agreement/disagreement and expression of opinion are preponderant. On the other hand, questions regarding the identification/non-identification with the text are rarely proposed. The largest point of contention between the Brazilian and Portuguese textbooks concerns the role filled by personal questions in the didactic sequence, which raised reflections over the implications of promoting subjectivity before and/or after reading.

Resumen: Este artículo es el resultado de una investigación posdoctoral que tuvo como objetivo analizar las prácticas de aprendizaje utilizadas por profesores de salas regulares bilingües para sordos en proceso de adquisición de la lengua portuguesa escrita. En Brasil, todavía hay pocas averiguaciones que muestren las prácticas de aprendizaje con estudiantes sordos, hecho que justifica la importancia de este estudio. La investigación se realizó en tres escuelas de la red educativa municipal de la ciudad de Recife (Pernambuco), en los años iniciales de la enseñanza básica, que ofrecen esas salas. En este estudio participaron cinco profesores bilingües. El aporte teórico estuvo compuesto por autores que trabajan el tema de la alfabetización y aprendizaje de sordos desde una perspectiva bilingüe, destacando: Fernandes, Quadros, Schmiedt y Sousa. La investigación cualitativa se realizó en dos etapas: entrevista semiestructurada a voluntarios y observaciones en el aula. Todo el contacto con los participantes se efectuó de manera remota, debido a la pandemia de “coronavirus”, empleando recursos de medios digitales, como: WhatsApp, correo electrónico y Google Meet. Además del perfil de los profesores participantes, los datos mostraron lo que piensan sobre el proceso de adquisición de la lengua portuguesa escrita por sordos, así como las prácticas de aprendizaje utilizadas por ellos en este proceso. Entre esas prácticas, certificamos el uso de la Lengua Brasileña de Signos (Libras) como instrucción para trabajar la lectura de mundo y el alfabeto manual como facilitador de la apropiación de la lengua portuguesa escrita.

Abstract: This article is the result of a postdoctoral research that aimed to analyze the literacy practices used by teachers of regular bilingual classrooms for deaf people who are in the process of acquiring the written Portuguese language. In Brazil, there are still few studies that show literacy practices with deaf students, which justifies the importance of carrying out this study. The research was carried out in three municipal schools in the city of Recife, Pernambuco, in early elementary school years, which offer these classes. Five bilingual teachers participated in this study. The theoretical contribution consisted of authors who work with the theme of literacy of deaf people from a bilingual perspective, highlighting: Fernandes, Quadros, Schmiedt, and Sousa. The qualitative research happened in two stages: semi-structured interviews with the volunteers and classroom observations. All contact with the participants was made remotely due to the coronavirus pandemic, using digital media resources, such as Whatsapp, email, and Google Meet. In addition to the profile of the participating teachers, the data showed what they think about the acquisition process of the written Portuguese language by deaf people, as well as the literacy practices used by them in this process. Among these practices, we highlight the use of Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) as an instruction to work on the reading of the world and the manual alphabet as an appropriation facilitator of the written Portuguese language.

ABSTRACT In this review, we present and discuss the book “Supporting Multilingual Learners’ Academic Language Development: A Language-Based Approach to Content Instruction” by Luciana C. de Oliveira, published in 2023 by Routledge. The publication introduces an innovative approach aimed at professionals working in primary and secondary education who teach multilingual students (MLs), known as the Language-Based Approach to Content Instruction (LACI). This approach serves both as a framework to support lesson planning and as a model for teacher education that integrates language and content. The author’s proposal addresses the growing presence of MLs worldwide, with a particular emphasis on the context of the United States and its immigration features. Despite originating from a context that may be considered quite different from Brazil, LACI provides resources related to the methodologies and the specificities of disciplinary language which can be adapted to Brazilian schools and teacher education programs for bi/multilingual education - an emerging field in the country that lacks theoretical and practical guidelines. review Supporting Learners Development LanguageBased Based C Oliveira 202 Routledge MLs, , (MLs) LACI. .

RESUMO Nessa resenha apresentamos e discutimos a obra Supporting Multilingual Learners’ Academic Language Development: A Language-Based Approach to Content Instruction, de Luciana C. de Oliveira, publicada em 2023 pela Routledge. O livro apresenta uma abordagem inovadora direcionada a profissionais que atuam na Educação Básica lecionando a estudantes multilíngues (EMs), o Language-Based Approach to Content Instruction (LACI) ou o Ensino de Conteúdo por Meio da Língua (ECML), o qual caracteriza-se tanto como um referencial para subsidiar o planejamento de aulas, quanto um modelo para formação de professores que integra língua e conteúdo. A proposta da autora visa a contemplar a crescente presença de EMs em todo o mundo, com especial ênfase na realidade dos EUA e sua imigração. Apesar de ser originária de um contexto que pode ser considerado bastante distinto do brasileiro, o LACI/ECML apresenta subsídios relacionados às metodologias e às especificidades da linguagem disciplinar de cada área, que podem ser adaptadas às escolas e à formação de professores no Brasil para a educação bi/multilíngue, área em recente ascensão no país que carece de orientações teórico-práticas.

ABSTRACT A larger qualitative study, which we draw upon here, investigated the perceptions of academics and students, in two state funded universities, regarding internationalization and the use of English as a medium of instruction (EMI). In this article, we focus on their concerns about EMI policy, drawing on interviews and focus groups. The range of concerns that were identified during this study were: the negative impact on content learning, language hierarchization, the emotional impact (confidence in using English), low student enrollment, exclusion, (re) production of inequality, impact on identity and collegiality. Taking account of these findings, we argue that it is important for language policymakers in both institutions to consider the concerns of academics and students as part of their planning process, and to address them responsibly. here universities EMI. .

RESUMO Com base em um amplo estudo qualitativo que investigou as percepções de docentes e discentes em duas universidades públicas estaduais sobre a internacionalização e a adoção do Ensino por Meio do Inglês (EMI), este estudo teve como foco suas preocupações sobre essa política, com dados colhidos por meio de entrevistas e grupos focais. As preocupações identificadas foram: o impacto negativo sobre o aprendizado do conteúdo, hierarquização linguística, impacto emocional (confiança no uso do inglês), baixa taxa de matrículas, exclusão, (re)produção de desigualdades, impacto sobre identidades de discentes e docentes. Tendo em vista esses resultados, argumentamos ser necessário que tomadores de decisões em ambas as instituições considerem no planejamento e tratem com responsabilidade as preocupações de docentes e discentes.

Abstract: Toddlers (children aged 1 to 3 years) may have difficulties responding as a speaker to objects/events for which they have been taught to respond as a listener. This study aimed to perform a methodologically robust evaluation of the effectiveness of a Multiple Exemplar Instruction teaching (MEI) consisting only of listener (auditory-visual matching-to-sample) and speaker tasks (intraverbal tact), in inducing Unidirectional Speaker Naming in toddlers with typical development. Thus, three toddlers aged between 28 and 29 months were exposed to: listener and speaker pre-tests with auditory stimuli and two-dimensional visual stimuli; listener teaching; listener and speaker post-test 1; MEI; and listener and speaker post-test 2. In post-test 2, one toddler showed emergence of Unidirectional Speaker Naming. The findings of this study may help to refine language teaching procedures for toddlers.

BACKGROUND: Social accountability is the obligation of health care providers to address the priority health concerns of the community they serve and of universities to ensure that graduates understand these social responsibilities. Although social accountability can combat systemic health inefficiencies, it is not well-understood or practised AIM: The study aimed to explore community service rehabilitation therapists' understanding of social accountability SETTING: The study was conducted in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa METHODS: This study used an interpretive exploratory design and purposively recruited 27 community service rehabilitation therapists namely, audiologists, speech-language therapists, occupational therapists, and physiotherapists working in public sector health facilities in rural and peri-urban areas. Four focus group discussions and four free attitude interviews were conducted, the results being thematically analysed RESULTS: Despite most of the participants not being instructed in social accountability as part of their formal training or institutional induction, three themes emerged based on their experiences. These themes include describing social accountability, values of social accountability, and values of community-based rehabilitation applicable to social accountability CONCLUSION: Inclusion of instruction on social accountability as part of their formal training and health facility induction would contribute to rehabilitation therapists' understanding of social accountability CONTRIBUTION: The study contributes to data on rehabilitation education and community service training regarding social accountability within a South African context and has captured how experiences gained during community service contribute to the rehabilitation therapists' understanding of social accountability

ABSTRACT The study presented in this paper aimed at identifying conceptions of literacy in the approved version of the National Common Curriculum Base - BNCC (Brasil, 2017) and in the National Literacy Policy - PNA (Brasil, 2019). Based on theoretical discussions relating to these fields and curricular policies, it presents documentary research supported by thematic content analysis. As a result, concerning literacy in BNCC, there is a perspective based on teaching the alphabetic code and the mechanics of reading, suppressing the expression alphabetic writing system, so widespread in Brazilian literature. On the literacy axis, although it maintains the idea of social usage of language, based on the various textual genres, it establishes an unnecessary understanding of overcoming the literacy of letters and what is proposed as digital literacy or multiliteracies. Regarding the PNA, there was a notable step backward in literacy, whose reference is the cognitive science of reading. This document goes back to the traditional phonic synthetic method and commits conceptual and epistemological misunderstandings about alphabetic writing, spelling, and reading. It also relies on an unclear conceptualization and progression of literacia throughout basic schooling. It contradicts the National Education Plan, reducing the consolidation of literacy from three to one year. The study showed a clear historical-epistemological-didactic clackout of literacy.

RESUMO O estudo que este artigo apresenta teve como objetivo identificar concepções de alfabetização e letramento na versão homologada da Base Nacional Comum Curricular - BNCC (Brasil, 2017) e na Política Nacional de Alfabetização - PNA (Brasil, 2019). Apoiando-se em discussões teóricas relativas àqueles campos e às políticas curriculares, expõe uma pesquisa documental amparada pela análise temática de conteúdo. Como resultados, em relação à alfabetização na BNCC, verifica-se uma perspectiva assentada no ensino do código alfabético e na mecânica da leitura, suprimindo a expressão sistema de escrita alfabética, tão disseminada na literatura brasileira. No eixo do letramento, embora mantenha a ideia de uso social da língua, tendo como base os diversos gêneros textuais, estabelece uma desnecessária compreensão de superação entre o letramento das letras e o que é proposto como letramentos digitais ou multiletramentos. Em relação à PNA, verificou-se notório retrocesso em relação à alfabetização, cuja referência é a ciência cognitiva da leitura. Esse documento remonta o tradicional método sintético fônico, e claramente comete equívocos conceituais e epistemológicos quanto à escrita alfabética, à norma ortográfica e à leitura. Também aposta em uma conceituação e progressão pouco claras de literacia ao longo da escolarização básica e contraria o exposto no Plano Nacional de Educação, reduzindo a consolidação da alfabetização de três para um ano de duração. O estudo demonstrou um nítido apagão histórico-epistemológico-didático da alfabetização e do letramento.

ABSTRACT This paper aims to analyse the conceptualisation of language and learning in the proposal of literacy in the continuing education course of the 2020 programme Tempo de Aprender for the National Policy for Literacy (Brasil, 2019). The study is characterised as qualitative with a descriptive and analytic focus, and the methodology will analyse official documents. The empirical material for analysis corresponds to axle 1 (Continuing education for literacy professionals) and axle 2 (pedagogical support guiding the teacher education programme). In the context of the investigation, we highlight two analytical topics: (1) Where are the study phonological awareness, promotion of metalinguistic curiosity and playfulness, which were current in the literacy education courses for teachers? and (2) where are reflection about the literacy united to practices of reading and writing in academic productions in Brazil? In this paper we will emphasise the first topic. Results of the investigation abled the identification of some weakness in the proposal of the course, that is: hierarchisation of knowledge from smaller units to larger ones in the process of learning to read and write; standardisation of phonics instruction as a teaching proposal; and motor training to improve spelling. The highlighted topics demonstrated the silenced literacy in the process of learning how to read and write. 202 Brasil, Brasil (Brasil 2019. 2019 . 2019) focus documents Continuing professionals pedagogical programme. programme) (1 awareness playfulness teachers (2 Brazil topic write spelling 20 201 (

RESUMO O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a concepção de linguagem e aprendizagem presente na proposta didática de alfabetização do curso de formação continuada do programa Tempo de Aprender de 2020, tendo como pano de fundo a Política Nacional de Alfabetização (PNA) (Brasil, 2019). O estudo caracteriza-se como qualitativo com foco descritivo-analítico e a metodologia empregada contempla análises de texto documental. O material empírico selecionado para análise corresponde ao eixo 1 - Formação continuada de profissionais da alfabetização e eixo 2 - Apoio pedagógico para alfabetização do documento que orienta o programa de formação docente. No contexto da pesquisa, destacamos dois tópicos analíticos: (1) Cadê o estudo da consciência fonológica, a promoção da curiosidade metalinguística e a ludicidade que estavam presentes nos cursos de formação docente para alfabetizadoras? E (2) Cadê a reflexão sobre o processo de alfabetização aliada às práticas de leitura e produção de texto presentes em produções acadêmicas no Brasil? Neste artigo, a ênfase é no primeiro tópico analítico. Os resultados da pesquisa possibilitaram a identificação de algumas fragilidades na proposta do curso como: a hierarquização do conhecimento de unidades menores para unidades maiores no processo da aprendizagem da leitura e da escrita; a padronização da instrução fônica como proposta de ensino; e o treinamento motor para a correta grafia das letras. Os tópicos destacados colocaram em evidência o silenciamento do letramento no processo de alfabetização. 2020 PNA (PNA Brasil, Brasil (Brasil 2019. 2019 . 2019) caracterizase caracteriza se descritivoanalítico descritivo analítico documental analíticos (1 fonológica alfabetizadoras (2 escrita ensino letras 202 201 ( 20

The right to receive education in an official language of one's choice is enshrined in section 29(2) of the Constitution. However, the South African education system has not offered sustained learning as well as equal opportunities for most of the population in more than one language. Although language in education determines the language of learning and teaching, language in education remains contentious in South Africa. jurisprudence supports the idea that schools should be inclusive in language policies. The National Department of Basic Education policy fails to address the need to ensure the sustained use of mother tongue language by prompting a switch to English in grade 4. This article explores how the learning and teaching in schools could potentially perpetuate discrimination in accessing schools, against the backdrop of constitutional rights and values, such as equality and non-discrimination.

BACKGROUND: The need to examine teachers' learning activities in reading literacy instruction arises from concerns about reading proficiency levels in the Namibian Junior Primary phase, where reading literacy is a fundamental skill crucial for academic success. AIM: The study examined the learning activities used for reading literacy instruction in selected Namibian Junior Primary (JP) schools focused on Grade 3 teachers. SETTING: The study was conducted in selected Oshana region JP schools focused in three diverse classroom settings. METHODS: The study used secondary qualitative data that were collected by the Oshana Regional Directorate of Education through interviews and classroom observations to examine the teaching practices Grade 3 teachers were using for reading literacy instruction. The study explores the reading literacy practices of teachers that they have adapted from continuous professional development programs and ministerial policies. RESULTS: The findings indicate that the participants in this study were utilising a variety of learning activities to enhance reading literacy skills. These activities are phonological activities (phonics, phonological awareness activities, and the Jolly Phonics programme) and interactive activities (shared reading and reading corner activities) for reading literacy instruction. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, participants employed a range of methods to enhance reading instruction. They utilised phonological strategies like phonics and the Jolly Phonics programme to develop language skills, alongside interactive practices such as shared reading to improve fluency and foster a love for reading. CONTRIBUTION: The findings can inform educational policies, curriculum development, and initial teacher education programmes, ultimately improving reading literacy outcomes for learners in Namibia and beyond.
