Ensino de reading e listening: uma análise do uso de material autêntico e letramento crítico no ensino/aprendizagem de língua inglesa no projeto de extensão casas de cultura no campus (ccc) na Universidade Federal de Alagoas

Abstract

The goal of this work is to investigate the results of the use of authentic materials and critical literacy (CL) in a basic level ESL class taught on the Casas de Cultura no Campus project in the last semester of 2019. Through analysis and reflections of the lesson plans and journals, I sought to understand the mistakes and successes of using authentic materials and LC in my teaching practice and how these tools contribute to ESL learning and the development of criticality. In this qualitative research of the “action research” modality I use lessons plans and journals as data collection instruments. The analysis of the data shows that my teaching practice changed and evolved from 2019 to 2021, that after further studies the concept of LC is clearer now than in the past and that I identify errors in the application of authentic materials that are no longer committed. Finally, the development of this research also highlighted the importance and benefit of using materials that were not created for the specific reason of studying a language in the learning process and critical literacy for the thinking citizens' formation.
