Cidadania escolar: uma proposta de prevenção e combate ao cyberbullying nas aulas de inglês

Abstract

The present work intends to present a didactic-pedagogical proposal for the development of the English language articulated to citizenship issues, one of the contemporary transversal themes recommended by the National Common Curricular Base - BNCC (BRASIL, 2019). Based on the increased of students ’vulnerability due to the advancement of information technologies in our society, there was an urgent need to establish strategies that satisfy the legal expectations placed on the school. For this, perennial procedures must be adopted so the care won’t be an exception, but the essence of the school environment. Considering the school's formative role, in which “it is recommended to incorporate into the curriculum and pedagogical proposals the approach of contemporary themes that affect human life on a local, regional and global scale” (BRASIL, 2019, p.15), it is presented, here, a teaching proposal with the aim of reflecting and combating cyberbullying in English language classes through the development of digital literacy. For this work, relevant bibliographic research on the topic was carried out, as well as a study on the research of 'ICT education' and 'ICT households', promoted by the Regional Center for Studies for the Development of the Information Society - CETIC. Br. As expected results, we aim to present a feasible pedagogical proposal that works with digital literacy with students in English language classes and that, in addition to language skills, students also appropriate values such as respect and empathy.
