A importância da Língua Inglesa nas series iniciais

Abstract

Currently the English language plays an increasing important role, contributing to social and cultural inclusion, since it promotes and brings the subject closer to different cultures and enables their inclusion in a globalized world. Because it has established itself as the most widely spoken language in the world, English teaching has become a fundamental and active part of most schools. Therefore, this study aims to reflect upon the context of the English language in the aspects of learning in the initial grades of Brazilian formal education. Based on bibliographic research, studies of Brown (2001), Lemes (2019) and Silva (2016) were used as theoretical support for this work. Through the studies mentioned in this article, we believe that contact with the English language in the initial grades enables more solid learning, since interactions in the intellect development of the student can make better performance possible in the final years of the student’s school life, from elementary education towards the final stages of his academic life. However, reinforcing the importance of communication in English is also one of the purposes of schools and educators. The School, as an institutional means, must grant the student the opportunity to learn a foreign language, so that, as a discipline, it can show its recognition and its importance in the student's development.
