Take this statement into consideration:
“This is the typical situation nowadays in all multilingual societies where groups are expected to acquire two powerful languages with no recognition of the existing proficiency in the languages which they already possess. The focus on language rather than on content, on the how rather than on the what as condition for participation, lead to serious injustices, especially as content can be delivered in any language with appropriate infrastructure such as translations or multilingual instruction.”
Which linguistic and curricular policy action should be prioritized to go against the injustice caused by the excessive focus on form/language, ensuring that content remains accessible to all?
A
Transfer the responsibility for language proficiency to Basic Education, limiting the university's scope to extension projects focused on the Portuguese language.
B
Concentrate the resources on training professors to become native English speakers (Inner Circle), eliminating the need for translation infrastructure.
C
Require faculty and students to ignore the political implications of language and focus solely on the neutral, technical, and scientific aspects of academic content.
D
Make the completion of a standardized English proficiency exam (e.g., TOEFL ITP) in the first semester mandatory, using the result as the main condition for student participation in all internationalized projects and courses.
E
The development of supportive infrastructure and the motivation of methodologies that recognize and value students' existing linguistic proficiency for accessing content.
