The paper reflects on the role of technology in English language teaching (ELT) methodologies and on the impact of globalization and internationalization in education in general and in the ELT in particular. The study is based on the assumption that access to information and technology is necessary to build social capital (WARSCHAUER, 2003) and that this access requires some English knowledge and digital literacy (FINARDI; PREBIANCA; MOMM, 2013). Departing from a bibliographic review on the use of ELT methodologies and the role of technologies in these methodologies, the study proposes that both the resistance to and the uncritical use of technologies and methodologies may bring negative consequences to the development of English language proficiency and social development in Brazil. The study concludes that in the post-method (BROWN, 2002; KUMARAVADIVELO, 2003) and information era (LEVY, 1999) technologies have a relevant and crucial role that should be critically considered in ELT methodologies. The study also suggests that the informed use of technologies and methodologies, allied with the teaching of English as an international language are essential to leverage the development and the internationalization of education in Brazil in a critical way in relation to the effects of globalization.

Correlative conjunctions and parallel structure

Gabarito: letra A. A alternativa A é a única que respeita a estrutura paralela exigida pelos pares correlativos: both...and deve conectar elementos gramaticalmente equivalentes. Em A, ambos os termos são locuções preposicionais (at my job e at school). As demais alternativas quebram o paralelismo ao ligar, por exemplo, um verbo a um sintagma preposicional ou uma oração a um substantivo.

Alternativa A — ✅ Correta ⟵ GABARITO

“I have been working very hard both at my job and at school.” — both é seguido por at my job (preposição + substantivo) e and por at school (idêntica estrutura). Perfeitamente paralelo. ✅

Alternativa B — ❌ Incorreta

“We enjoy not only seeing movies but also soap operas.” — Após not only temos o gerúndio seeing movies; após but also temos o substantivo soap operas. Não há paralelismo. A forma correta seria not only seeing movies but also watching soap operas ou not only movies but also soap operas. ❌

Alternativa C — ❌ Incorreta

“You either go with me or with your parents.” — either introduz o verbo go; or introduz a preposição with. Para corrigir: either go with me or go with your parents (verbos) ou either with me or with your parents (preposições). ❌

Alternativa D — ❌ Incorreta

“Both the dean talked to the teacher and the coordinator.” — Both precede uma oração completa the dean talked to the teacher; and precede apenas the coordinator (substantivo). Para paralelismo: Both the dean and the coordinator talked to the teacher ou the dean talked to both the teacher and the coordinator. ❌

Alternativa E — ❌ Incorreta

“Pretending the accident did not happen will neither help John nor his parents.” — neither é seguido pelo verbo help + objeto John; nor é seguido apenas pelo substantivo his parents. Deveria ser neither help John nor help his parents ou neither John nor his parents (como sujeito da oração). ❌

PEGA ESSA DICA!

Sempre verifique se os elementos coordenados por both...and, not only...but also, either...or, neither...nor são da mesma classe gramatical (substantivo com substantivo, verbo com verbo, preposição com preposição, etc.). Na prova, leia a frase substituindo mentalmente o segundo elemento pelo primeiro para testar a simetria.

Gabarito: letra A.
