Resposta esperada

English in advertising and live-music spaces often shapes youth identity by associating anglophone forms with modernity and social status. For example, a local clothing brand uses English slogans like “Street Vibe” to create a trendy image; young customers adopt the taglines and anglicized pronunciations in everyday speech. Similarly, a downtown venue promotes 'Open mic' nights and English-language bands; attendees begin to favor English expressions and code-switch in social media posts about events. These practices encourage borrowing and stylistic mixing rather than full language replacement, but they also create prestige-based attitudes that can marginalize local expressions. Educators should teach media literacy: analyze why English is used, discuss power and identity in language choices, and promote bilingual awareness that values Portuguese while developing critical use of English. One practical recommendation is to have students compare Portuguese and English ads and produce bilingual campaigns that respect local culture while practicing English communication.
