English as a Foreign Language textbooks are selected according to a set of criteria listed in the specific official documents (Editais PNLD). Textbooks cannot allow the liberal multicultural approach that naturalizes and neutralizes differences (Kubota, 2004). Instead, textbooks must follow an approach based on critical multiculturalism in order to go beyond the celebration of differences or the primary understanding that people are equal (Jorge, 2014). Bearing in mind the relation between critical multiculturalism and textbooks, mark (T) for the true assertions and (F) for the false ones. Then choose the correct alternative.
( ) The simple display of pictures, illustrations, paintings, and other visual texts aimed at overcoming stereotypes and prejudice does not grant the necessary treatment of the representation of diverse racial groups.
( ) Critical multicultural education is an area that postulates that certain thoughts, educational practices, and texts (visual representations, description of different cultures etc.) are socially constructed.
( ) The promotion of multiculturalism is inherent to language teaching.
( ) The use of pictures and allusions to Black Brazilian people as musicians, sportspeople, and actors, and indigenous people as artisans are enough to provide the representation of Brazilian racial diversity and its sociopolitical implications.
( ) Black Brazilian and indigenous students, who usually come from low-income families, need to find their social and cultural experiences and aesthetics represented in textbooks.
