Integrando tecnologias ao ensino de inglês : uma análise do livro Joy Starter 6 através do modelo PICRAT

Abstract

Considering the technological advances in the current educational scenario and the role of textbooks in reformulating the existent pedagogical practices, this research tries to understand how the integration of technologies in English language teaching is promoted by the Joy Stater 6 teaching material. The PICRAT model developed by Kimmons, Graham, and West (2020) is adopted as a theoretical and methodological reference, and a qualitative descriptive approach is used to classify activities in the book according to the pedagogical function of technologies and the relationship between students and digital tools. The data resulted from the research showed a predominance of technological integration at the Replacement and Amplification levels, with mostly interactive participation from students. Based on this, it is concluded that, although it did not present proposals that could be classified as transformative, the material has potential for more meaningful technological integration, especially when combined with critical and creative teaching. In this way, it is possible to implement pedagogical actions that favor the development of digital literacy and students' protagonism.
