O uso da sala do Programa Acessa Escola como ferramenta didática para o ensino-aprendizagem de inglês no Ensino Médio regular

Abstract

This study aims at interpreting the way the Acessa Escola Room is used as well as the way computers may be explored as pedagogical tools in English classes directed to the production of radio advertisements by 2nd year students of High School. This study is theoretically based on Valente (1998), Menezes (2012) and Moran (2004), among others, and on the Proposta Curricular de Língua Estrangeira Moderna (SÃO PAULO, 2014). Methodologically, it is a case study, in which 24 students and one teacher (who is also the researcher) take part. Seven English classes, designed and taught by the teacher, were considered as the investigation context. Data were gathered through one initial and one final questionnaire; and through the teacher´s field notes generated throughout the classes and the students´ final assignment preparation and presentation. Data interpretation allowed the teacher-researcher not only to reflect upon how to plan classes with the inclusion of computers as a pedagogical tool, but also to reflect upon the repercussion of this device on students and on learning of English as a foreign language
