O uso da internet como ferramenta no ensino da língua inglesa: as aulas remotas e educação a distância em tempos de pandemia da COVID-19

Abstract

At the beginning of 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) classified the new world scenario as a pandemic, due to the disease caused by the new Coronavirus (SARS-COV-2), requiring measures of social isolation, due to its high contagious power. This fact provoked significant changes in the relationships between individuals, in the work and teaching processes. In this context, this study aims to understand the distinction between Remote Teaching and Distance Education during the period of the covid 19 pandemic in Brazil, based on classes related to the teaching of the English language in high schools. To this end, we rely on studies by Gusso et al (2020), Alves (2020), Guerreiro (2011), Santos et al (2021), among others. The methodological course was traced, resorting to bibliographic research. Therefore, it uses a descriptive 4 and qualitative approach. The results showed that the remote teaching classes in the area of English were, in part, satisfactory, given the results found in the systematic bibliographic search on the new form of teaching to which students are submitted, however, they emphasized that there is a need for teachers to look for differentiated and more dynamic teaching methodologies in order to make the synchronous and asynchronous moments of remote classes a little more interesting.
