Resumo: This quantitative research examines the contribution of information and communication technologies (ICTs), especially of gamified and interactive activities, to the teaching and learning of scientific vocabulary and comprehension of academic texts in English in the field of Education. The research involved the participation of 26 Education students (25 postgraduate and one undergraduate) from the Federal University of Pará in an online English for Specific Purposes (ESP) course, which was based on the recommendations made by researchers in the areas of technologies, teaching and learning of English and instructional design. The learning activities developed for the course were made available on the Moodle (Lesson and Quiz tools) and also on the free app Quizlet (gamified flashcards). The students were given a pretest and a posttest after eight lessons, whose comparative analyses between them revealed a considerable increase in the mean scores of the posttest, which suggests that the technologies used had a beneficial effect. In short, the study obtained positive results to the two hypotheses tested: acquisition of scientific vocabulary and text comprehension in English.   Keywords: ICTs. ESP. Scientific vocabulary. Reading comprehension of english academic texts.

A investigação teve a participação de 26 estudantes da área de Educação (25 da pós-graduação e uma da graduação) da Universidade Federal do Pará em um curso online de English for Specific Purposes (ESP), desenvolvido com base nas recomendações de pesquisadores das áreas de tecnologias, ensino e aprendizagem de inglês e design instrucional. As atividades foram disponibilizadas no Moodle (ferramentas Lição e Questionário) e no aplicativo Quizlet (flashcards gamificados). Os estudantes realizaram um pré-teste e um pós-teste (após oito lições), cujas análises comparativas entre ambos revelaram um aumento considerável das médias no pós-teste, o que pressupõe um efeito benéfico das tecnologias empregadas. Em suma, o estudo obteve resultados positivos referentes às duas hipóteses investigadas: aquisição de vocabulário científico e compreensão de textos em inglês.    Palavras-chave: TICs. ESP. Vocabulário científico. Compreensão de textos acadêmicos em inglês.Fundação Cecierj2024-01-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://eademfoco.cecierj.edu.br/index.php/Revista/article/view/210710.18264/eadf.v14i1.2107EaD em Foco; Vol. 14 No. 1 (2024); e2107EaD em Foco; Vol. 14 Núm. 1 (2024); e2107EaD em Foco; v. 14 n. 1 (2024); e21072177-8310reponame:EAD em Focoinstname:Fundação Centro de Ciências e Educação Superior a Distância do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (CECIERJ)instacron:CECIERJporhttps://eademfoco.cecierj.edu.br/index.php/Revista/article/view/2107/879Copyright (c) 2024 EaD em Focohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Salomão, Silvana Tabosa2024-03-13T20:59:06Zoai:ojs.eademfoco.cecierj.edu.br:article/2107Revistahttps://eademfoco.cecierj.edu.br/index.php/RevistaONGhttp://eademfoco.cecierj.edu.br/index.php/Revista/oai||eademfoco@cecierj.edu.br2177-83102177-8310opendoar:2024-03-13T20:59:06EAD em Foco - Fundação Centro de Ciências e Educação Superior a Distância do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (CECIERJ)false
