“Não é algo para o qual a universidade nos prepara”: materiais didáticos interdisciplinares produzidos por professores de inglês em formação no programa de residência pedagógica.

Abstract

This article is about the Pedagogical Residency Program (PRP), in which student teachers of English (residents) worked with Youth and Adult Education (YAE) groups under an interdisciplinary perspective with the subject of Sciences. This study aims to (1) analyze the English teaching materials (TMs) produced by residents for their classes and (2) the written reports about the residents‟ experiences in PRP. In the TMs, the integration between English and Sciences was analyzed based on the themes and the texts of the tasks, while in the reports the perspectives of the residents about the TMs were identified. Categories of analysis were later established: relevance of the theme for students; authenticity and coherence of the texts with the themes (SCHLATTER, 2009); diversity of genres (SCHLATTER; GARCEZ, 2009; PRADO et al, 2014) and work with language establishing dialogue (FAZENDA, 2003) and convergence (FIORIN, 2009) with Sciences. It was observed that, by using different authentic texts on science themes, the integration between the English and Science subjects was made possible. For the residents, interdisciplinarity promoted a more contextualized, meaningful and critical teaching, as the texts on relevant themes related to Sciences made it possible to approach aspects of students‟ realities.
