MINHA SEGUNDA LÍNGUA: projeto social de língua inglesa no Corpo de Bombeiros Militar da Paraíba

Abstract

This article is inserted in the context of social actions developed as good practices, like social projects, which present themselves as a tool capable of contributing and transforming a reality from the diagnosis of a social problem. Based on this idea, a reflection was made about the importance of the English language in several aspects: due to the fact that it is the most spoken language in the world in terms of total number of speakers; the deficiency of English language teaching in Brazilian public education system; the English language as a differential in the job market and, finally, the teaching of a foreign language as a social function in the formation of the individual. Thus, the objective of this work is to start the process of elaborating a social project at CBMPB, focusing on teaching the English language and aimed at students from the public school system. As for the methodological procedures, the research corresponds to an instrumental case study, comprising an issue and proposing a specific project, understanding aspects related to English language teaching and aspects related to the development of social projects, developing a tool capable of acting in these contexts. The form of study is characterized by being descriptive, providing more information on the subject and having a qualitative approach. The presentation of the results is shown in the initial proposal for the elaboration of the social project MY SECOND LANGUAGE. Moreover, the unfolding of this study suggests the project could be amplified through the implementation of a bilingual training for the Fire Brigade Military staff.
