Coautoria do aluno mediada pelas tecnologias de informação e comunicação no ensino de língua inglesa

Abstract

This research theme is the importance of the use of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the classroom. It intends to put the student closer to digital reality and make the student become co-author in the teaching and learning process to increase his autonomy. It aims at showing the new teachers roles using technologies as a guidance counselor and pedagogical practice mediator. It also approaches the language teaching to cultural aspects to introduce the student in the society of the target language. It is not possible to teach a language far from cultural issues, since one is interrelated to another. This research is a qualitative, descriptive, theoretical case study. The data collection was carried out by interviewing ten teachers in a municipal elementary school in Rio Negro – PR (this school was chosen among five schools where the researcher works, since it is public and it has various technologies. And the institution showed interest in participating). The questions were about teachers’ opinion about technological artifacts and if they use various technologies in the classroom. This research, after analyzing the interviews, presents a reflection about the theme and some suggestions to improve students co-authorship in the use of the Information and Communication Technologies in the classroom.
