Reflexões sobre as tecnologias de informação e comunicação nas aulas de língua inglesa: uma proposta do uso do PODCAST para o desenvolvimento da oralidade no ensino médio

Abstract

We know that the use of Communication and Information Technologies (ICTs) in the educational field has grown every year, being used as a didactic resource. This article aims to analyze the role of Communication and Information Technologies (ICTs) in high school English language classes. For this, we base this work on the studies of Brasil (2008), Silva (2000), Valente (1999) e Faria, Pereira e Dias (2007), among others that deal with the theme addressed. This research, regarding its procedures, is an exploratory research, since it allowed a greater familiarity with the problem under study. Regarding its nature, the present investigation is a qualitative research. The research was carried out in a school located in Curimataú Paraibano, whose data collection instrument was the questionnaire answered by the high school English language teacher. From the answers given, it was possible to observe the main difficulties encountered in the English language classroom regarding the use of ICTs. Therefore, we developed a pedagogical proposal that can be applied in high school, using podcasts as a didactic resource, placing the student in the role of protagonist of their own knowledge.
