Práticas de ensino de língua inglesa com estudantes de graduação e pós-graduação em agronomia da UFPB : um relato de experiência

Abstract

The English language is seen as a universal language and plays a crucial role in the dissemination of scientific and technological knowledge. This paper aims to present a teaching and learning practice of the English language in the field of Agronomy at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB), using complementary methodologies in the teaching of this language, such as the Blended Learning and the English for Especific Purposes (ESP) among others, considering its growing importance in scientific communication and global collaboration in the agronomic field. The theoretical framework included works by Krashen (1981), Schon (2000), Graham (2006); Martins (2021); and Moran (2021), and others, that concentrate teaching in a more dynamic and creative way. The teaching practice presented, in the form of an experience report, showcased, in addition to classes in a hybrid format for members of the english language study group, the use of additional or authentic resources as supplements to the traditional curriculum. By analyzing the results from this new teaching practice, this work contributes to understanding how these strategies can optimize the learning of the English language, seeking to comprehend and overcome difficulties in the academic learning environment, offering suitable approaches to the context and aiming to prepare these students for a more effective participation in a globalized and interconnected academic and professional setting.
