Desafios da produção oral em língua inglesa para estudantes brasileiros: um estudo exploratório

Abstract

This work seeks to discuss the challenges faced by Brazilian students in relation to oral production in English. To do so, we carried out a bibliographical survey through national electronic portals, using certain filters. Thus, we analyzed the selected articles and through them, we sought to understand which factors, indicated in the texts, made it difficult for English language learners to develop or orality. The results reveal that factors such as social constraints, shyness, anxiety and the requirement for “correct speech” are some elements that can inhibit and/or hinder the practice of speaking by Brazilian learners in English classrooms. Furthermore, it is necessary to highlight the problems that still plague public education in the country, especially FL teaching, such as lack of structure in schools, teaching material incompatible with effective teaching in the classroom, lack of motivation among students and teachers, and so on.
