O impacto do ensino remoto nas aulas de língua inglesa em uma escola de Mundo Novo/BA

Abstract

With the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for social distancing, educational institutions had to seek new ways of functioning, thus adhering to the remote education system. In this context, this research aimed to identify the impacts of remote teaching in English language classes in a school in Mundo Novo/BA. The research, classified as exploratory, descriptive and field, qualitative in nature, used a semi-structured interview with an English-speaking teacher at the school as a data collection technique. The interview was conducted remotely, and revealed that remote teaching had an impact on English language classes, due to the need to adapt some content to the new teaching format, in addition to the very need for the teacher to deepen her knowledge about the use of some digital resources for classes. An impact was also perceived in relation to the participation and learning of students, since many of them were unable to participate in classes, because they did not have access to the internet, and, among those who attended classes, many did not have the necessary support at home to assist in remote activities.
