Tecnologias digitais da informação e comunicação como ferramenta para o ensino de língua inglesa na educação básica: desafios e estratégias

Abstract

This article seeks to analyze how Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICT) are used in the teaching of English Language (IL) in public basic education, discussing how DICT can change and improve English teaching, making it more comprehensive, stimulating and productive. Through the concepts of cyberculture and meaningful learning, described by Pierre Lévy (1999), participatory education by Moran (2015), the challenges of teaching English in Brazil by Paiva (2019) and ALMEIDA and SILVA (2020) who describe the use of TDICs in foreign language teaching, we seek to highlight how students can be committed to learning English through these technologies. In addition, the guidelines of the National Common Curriculum Base (BNCC) and the notorious need for teachers to have continuing training, as well as for schools to offer adequate technological infrastructure, are considered. The article also identifies practical examples and strategies of how implementing the use of DICTs in the classroom can effectively help the English language teaching process.
