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.

I have been working very hard both at my job and at school.
A estrutura utiliza corretamente a conjunção correlativa both … and. Nesse caso, both aparece antes do primeiro elemento coordenado e and antecipa o segundo, sinalizando a ligação entre dois termos equivalentes.
O paralelismo é respeitado porque os dois elementos conectados são prepositional phrases da mesma natureza: at my job e at school. Manter a mesma classe gramatical em cada membro é essencial para a correção.
Note que o verbo e o sujeito permanecem fora da correlação; a função de both … and é unir complementos equivalentes, o que ocorre perfeitamente nesta frase.
