    As soon as learners step outside the classroom, they act as users of English who communicate with other speakers of English from a wide variety of linguacultural backgrounds. Given the global spread of English and the fact that the majority of users do not speak English as their mother tongue, learners are likely to be involved in interactions with other non-native speakers. These situations then bear the hallmarks of English as a lingua franca (ELF), which is “any use of English among speakers of different first languages for whom English is the communicative medium of choice, and often the only option”, according to Seidlhofer.
    Since ELF speakers represent various cultures and languages, ELF contexts of use are characterized by diversity and the subsequent unpredictability and variability of communication. Therefore, interactions where English functions as a lingua franca require active engagement in the meaning-making process by the participants.

Based on the previous text, judge the following item.


In ‘any use of English among speakers of different first languages for whom English is the communicative medium of choice, and often the only option’ (first paragraph), the word ‘whom’ could be correctly replaced with who.

  • ERRADO (WRONG)

    who é o sujeito, o termo diretamente responsável pela ação ou estado descrito. Ele também pode substituir um nome na frase: 

    I wonder who is behind this. – Eu me pergunto quem está por trás disso.

    Já whom é usado como o termo que recebe a ação em uma frase, o objeto. Ou para se referir a uma pessoa que foi mencionada. Por exemplo:

    With whom are you going to the party? – Com quem você vai à festa?
