Read the text to answer the question bellow.
The paper reflects on the role of technology in English language teaching (ELT) methodologies and on the impact of globalization and internationalization in education in general and in the ELT in particular. The study is based on the assumption that access to information and technology is necessary to build social capital (WARSCHAUER, 2003) and that this access requires some English knowledge and digital literacy (FINARDI; PREBIANCA; MOMM, 2013). Departing from a bibliographic review on the use of ELT methodologies and the role of technologies in these methodologies, the study proposes that both the resistance to and the uncritical use of technologies and methodologies may bring negative consequences to the development of English language proficiency and social development in Brazil. The study concludes that in the post-method (BROWN, 2002; KUMARAVADIVELO, 2003) and information era (LEVY, 1999) technologies have a relevant and crucial role that should be critically considered in ELT methodologies. The study also suggests that the informed use of technologies and methodologies, allied with the teaching of English as an international language are essential to leverage the development and the internationalization of education in Brazil in a critical way in relation to the effects of globalization.

A proposta do estudo é compreender os efeitos do letramento digital no aprendizado de inglês. Isso fica explícito quando os autores afirmam que "this access requires some English knowledge and digital literacy", vinculando acesso à informação e tecnologia ao domínio da língua e às competências digitais.
Ao partir do pressuposto de que o acesso a tecnologias contribui para a construção de capital social, os autores investigam como a posse de habilidades digitais influencia a aquisição de proficiência em inglês e, por consequência, as oportunidades de participação social e internacionalização.
Portanto, o objetivo central é analisar de que maneira o desenvolvimento do letramento tecnológico afeta o ensino e a aprendizagem de uma língua estrangeira, considerando tanto benefícios quanto riscos no contexto contemporâneo.
