Abstract

The present study aims to present discussions about the use of the machine translation tool of Google Translate as technological didactic apparatus in the teaching and learning of English Language, and propose a sequence for its applicability. First of all, a brief historical methodological course on teachinglearning of foreign language and possible translational practices in these methods in the classroom is made. Therefore, some reflections will be directed on the current perspectives of the teaching of the translation in the classes of English Language. Then, it will review some questions about the advent of technology in the school environment as well as the importance of working with such resources in the classroom. Emphasis is given to the arrival of technology in Translation Studies and its developments, such as the field of translation and technology which gave rise to the subarea of machine translation and translation tools. Finally, a Didactic Sequence will be proposed, which will include activities that include: the machine translation of Rapunzel's short story, the postediting of these translations, review, social and cultural discussions. Thus, it is a bibliographical research whose theoretical contribution is based on the principles of Alfaro and Dias (1998), Leffa (1988), Branco (2014), Brown (2001), Mossop (2014), Paiva (2008), Marcuschi (2008), Niño (2004), Dolz, Noverraz and Schneuwly (2004), among others.
