Number of Brazilians living abroad has never been as high as it is today
The number of Brazilians living abroad has never been as large as it is today. According to the latest Itamaraty (Foreign Ministry) survey, it grew by 35% between 2010 and 2020, from 3.1 million to 4.2 million. However, the number of Brazilians in different world regions could be more than double the official estimates, the researchers said.

Migration and the Power of Culture
In this unprecedented period of migration and forced displacement, people and places are interconnected more than ever before, whether by choice or by necessity. Culture, and how it is understood and deployed, plays a key role in shaping these interconnections.
The cultural diversity that accompanies migration enables new perspectives and experiences to be exchanged through intercultural encounters; it allows for creative and hybrid cultural practices to emerge; and it creates a general societal openness to difference and to change.
Societies with large migrant populations are in many ways translocal and transnational themselves, already connected to many parts of the world through migrant and diasporic practices and networks. We can see these positive impacts of migration and cultural diversity very vividly at a local level, not least in global cities such as London, São Paulo, Berlin and New York (to name just a few), but also in smaller cities with culturally plural populations.
Many of these localities work towards sensitising basic services such as health centres, schools and public offices to the needs of diverse multi-lingual populations, as well as supporting cultural expression in public spaces. A commitment to developing such policies of inclusion is precisely what is needed to promote equal opportunities, foster social cohesion and to support the basic conditions that will enable the positive aspects of cultural diversity to flourish.

Translate into Portuguese the following excerpt adapted from Eleanor Roosevelt’s speech which opened a series of United Nations seminars at Brandeis University on December 17th, 1954:
You hear people say, “Why hasn’t the United Nations done this or that?” The United Nations functions just as well as the member nations make it function, no better or worse. So the first thing to look at is the kind of machinery that was set up, and what it was meant to do.
Now we have to cast our minds back to the time when the Charter was first planned. The war was not over, and this was a dream — an idea to set up an organization, the object of which was to ke…
EC Charges Two Investment Advisers with Making False and Misleading Statements About Their Use of Artificial Intelligence
The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced settled charges against two investment advisers, Delphia (USA) Inc. and Global Predictions Inc., for making false and misleading statements about their purported use of artificial intelligence (AI).

Error Correction – When And How To Do It
“To err is human… but to correct is teacherly”. This is the twist that we, as English language teachers, add to the old saying (Alexander Pope will just have to forgive us for taking artistic licence with his work).
Now we all know that our students make mistakes. No matter how clear we make our explanations, no matter how many examples we offer, and no matter how much practice we have them do, it stil happens. Errors in the classroom are as natural and as unavoidable as death and taxes. But unlike these two, hearing mistakes in the classroom may actually be a good sign We tend to view mistakes negatively, but these may just be an indicato…
