O RPG na sala de aula: uma proposta de ensino da oralidade Por meio da abordagem neurolinguística.

Abstract

English language teaching faces several challenges in Brazil related to historical, economic and social factors. In this context, priority is given to the use of technical teaching strategies that, by using the grammatical method, neglect the development of orality, making the teaching and learning process of the second language (L2) a frustrating experience for the student. Orality is important in the development of learners, as it promotes motivation, interaction and helps develop the four communicative skills. The Neurolinguistic Approach (NLA), which aims to learn the language through the practice of orality, striving for the development of an internal grammar by to provide interaction between students in an authentic and contextualized way. In this sense, the aim of this paper is to propose the use of RPG (Role-Playing Game) for the practice of orality in English language classes, as a game that promote the interaction and motivation to learning. To this end, we suggest applying the NLA to work with orality in the classroom, discussing the importance of orality in English language classes and observing the use of RPG in language teaching. This work is a descriptive and propositive research of bibliographic nature, which proposes the use of RPG through an Interactive Didactic Sequence (SDI) that can be applied in high-school, approaching as theoretical framework the following researchers Aslén (1984), Silva (2008), Netten and Germain (2012), Gonçalves (2010), Balbino et al (2019), Solace (2000), Deitos (2013), Silva and Calvo (2013), Schmit (2008), Farkaš (2018), Phillips (1993), Oliveira (2013), among others. We hope that through the didactic sequence proposed in this work, students will be able to develop linguistic and cultural knowledge about language and interaction and communication skills. Thus, we believe that this research can contribute significantly to the teaching of languages regarding orality, providing an understanding of its importance for the process of teaching and learning the English language.
