Plastic Dreams
by Sarah Thompson
Plastic dreams, oh plastic dreams, a vision turned nightmare,
Once a symbol of progress, now a burden we must bear.
Our landfills overflow with your synthetic remains,
A haunting testament to our unsustainable chains.
Plastic dreams, oh plastic dreams, a promise unfulfilled,
Your convenience a facade, your consequences concealed.
Let us wake from this slumber, this toxic desire,
To create a world where nature's essence can inspire.
In our hands lies the power, to choose a different fate,
To abandon plastic dreams and embrace a sustainable state.
For only through conscious choices, can we break this vicious spell,
And ensure a future where our planet and poetry can dwell.

Sentence stress, also known as prosody, is essential in
American English for conveying the intended meaning of
a sentence. It involves emphasizing certain words or
syllables to communicate nuances such as importance,
contrast, or emotion. Mastering sentence stress
contributes to effective communication in spoken English.

The teaching of English as a Lingua Franca
An inexorable trend in the use of global English is that
fewer interactions now involve a native speaker. Proponents
of teaching English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) suggest that the
way English is taught and assessed should reflect the needs
and aspirations of the ever-growing number of non-native
speakers who use English to communicate with other nonnatives. Understanding how non-native speakers use English
among themselves has now become a serious research area.
Different priorities in teaching English pronunciation, for
example, have been defined. Teaching certain pronunciation
features, such as the articulation of ‘th’ as an interdental
fricative, appears to be a waste of time whereas other common
pronunciation problems (such as simplifying consonant
clusters) contribute to problems of understanding. Such an
approach is allowing researchers to identify a ‘Lingua Franca
Core’ (LFC) which provides guiding principles in creating
syllabuses and assessment materials.
Unlike traditional ESL (English as Second Language), ELF
focuses also on pragmatic strategies required in intercultural
communication. The target model of English, within the ELF
framework, is not a native speaker but a fluent bilingual
speaker, who retains a national identity in terms of accent,
and who also has the special skills required to negotiate
understanding with another non-native speaker. Research is
also beginning to show how bad some native speakers are at
using English for international communication. It may be that
elements of an ELF syllabus could usefully be taught within a
mother tongue curriculum.

O aprendiz brasileiro, por influência de sua língua materna, tende a erroneamente acrescentar uma vogal a
palavras em Língua Inglesa que terminam em grupo consonantal. Dessa forma, adiciona uma nova sílaba à palavra, possivelmente dificultando a compreensão. Assinale
a alternativa correta contendo uma palavra que ilustraria
tal fenômeno.

Hanji
Hanji is the name of the handmade paper produced
in ancient Korea from the 1st century BCE. Made from
mulberry trees, its exceptional quality made it a successful
export, and it was widely used not only for writing but also
for interior walls and everyday objects, such as fans and
umbrellas. Hanji, famed throughout Asia for its whiteness,
texture, and strength, is still made today in specialized
Korean workshops.
Initially Korean paper was made using hemp fiber, but
the highest quality hanji was, for many centuries, made only
from the pith of mulberry trees (tak in Korean, Latin:
Broussonetia papyrifera). The toughness of hanji meant that
it was ideally suited for use in printing presses that used
blocks made from magnolia wood, which had been soaked
and boiled in saltwater and then dried for several years
before use. Each block was 24x4x64cm and carried 23 lines
of vertical text on each side. These were then covered in ink
and paper was pressed against them. The resilience of hanji
was especially useful from the 12th century CE when
printing was done using heavier moveable metal type made
of bronze, a Korean invention.
In the Joseon Period (from the 15th century CE), such
was the demand for hanji, that Sejong the Great (r. 1418 -
1450 CE) permitted other plant materials to be used in its
manufacture, especially bamboo. The paper was made in
specialized workshops in the capital and the five provincial
capitals. The hanji which was produced for state use was
supervised by a government agency, the Chonjo-chang.

ESL Teaching and Post-Pandemic: What Changed?
Altiné Moumouni
The pandemic that started in 2019 has shaken the world, and it
has transformed the way we interact, the way we work, and even
made us appreciate the simplest things we took for granted.
1. Pandemic creates shortage of qualified ESL teachers
Currently, there are still fewer ESL teachers willing to travel
abroad and teach ESL. At the same, countries like the USA
experience a massive reduction in ESL teachers. About 44% of public
schools in the USA declare they need at least one teacher, and 61%,
particularly of these vacancies, are due to the COVID-19 pandemic,
including 51% resignations and 21% retirements (Source:
Usnews.com).
2. Pandemic increases uncertainty among ESL teachers
The pandemic increased the level of uncertainty as nobody
actually knows what will happen next. The best way to prepare is to
invest in yourself and become a better teacher.
3. Parents may experience income reduction
Most countries, including the USA, will experience postpandemic recession, reducing households’ discretionary spending for
education. This may lead to fewer private tutoring jobs available for
ESL teachers. In addition, some ESL students may need to drop out
of school to support their families.
4. ESL teachers less sure about teaching as a career
A study from the Brookings Institution found that, during the
pandemic, teachers have become less confident about their career
choices. The researchers found that many teachers considered
leaving or retiring during the 2020-2021 academic year.
5. Pandemic increases role of technology in ESL learning
One of the biggest issues is the increased role of technology in
ESL learning. In most western countries, including the UK, Canada,
and the United States, many ESL students have at least some access
to electronic devices and internet.
