O aplicativo Hello Talk como ferramenta de ensino e aprendizagem de língua inglesa: uma proposta de uso dos novos letramentos em sala de aula.

Abstract

This work has as main objective to propose a reflection on the studies of the New Literacies (STREET, 1984; LANKSHEAR; KNOBEL, 2003) showing its relevance to the teaching and learning of the English Language. To this end, it presents recent theories as theoretical basis for possible significant changes in the teaching of English as a foreign language (TEFL). In this sense, we construct a historical description of the teaching and learning of English Language, to present future perspectives for working with foreign languages in the classroom. Thus, the theoretical methodological conception adopted by the New Literacies for foreign language teaching allows us use technologies once seen as inappropriate to increase knowledge. Thus, we developed the proposal of the research through the use of the mobile device, using the Hello Talk application as a teaching and learning tool, because with this, feature students are able to interact with speakers from around the world at any time and space, expanding the knowledge in several areas, as well as practicing the language continuously in a pleasurable and productive way. That said, the methodology used in the research is qualitative, interpretive, with a bibliographical survey, followed by application in the proposal. We hope with this research contributes with researchers and professionals of the English Language to expand their knowledge and notions about the current study to introduce such pedagogical practices in foreign language classes.
