Resumo: | The teaching of English under troublesomecircumstances and the need to introduce technological literacy to prospective teachers were the main reasons for the development of ashort term course on a virtual platform as part of the initial education of English language teachers. This paper brings an analysis of one specific activity proposed by the course, entitled “Teaching English under troublesome circumstances”, which was offered as part of a university undergraduate degree. The task under analysis was one in which images about the public school, its students and teachers were elicited through the construction of a film synopsis. Those images revealed stereotypical views of public schools, with teachers and students either as heroes or victims due to their individual traits. We conclude that this kind of proposal needs to be supported by careful planning that allows feedback of the activities in a way that encourages critical reflection on the students’ production, especially when these activities involve pictured worlds that still carry strong links with a negative scenario in which no way out is envisaged.Key words: English language teaching, Public schools, critical reflection. |

Este artigo analisa uma tarefa do curso intitulado “Teaching English in troublesome circumstances”, oferecido como parte da carga horária de uma disciplina obrigatória docurrículo de um curso de Letras-Inglês, e na qual representações sobre a escola pública, seus alunos e professores foram explicitadas. Estasrepresentações revelaram visões estereotipadas sobre a escola pública, com professores e alunos considerados vítimas ou heróis que triunfam ouperecem por suas características individuais. Concluímos que esta proposta precisa ser subsidiada por um planejamento que permita feedback das atividades de modo a proporcionar oportunidades de reflexão crítica sobre as produções, especialmente quando estas envolverem mundos imaginados que ainda guardam fortes vinculações com um quadro negativo no qual não se vislumbra saída.Palavras-chave: ensino de inglês, formação inicial, ambiente virtual.Unisinos2011-03-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopio/article/view/572Calidoscópio; Vol. 9 No. 1 (2011): January/April; 41-49Calidoscópio; v. 9 n. 1 (2011): Janeiro/Abril; 41-492177-6202reponame:Calidoscópio (Online)instname:Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)instacron:Unisinosporhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopio/article/view/572/152El Kadri, Michele SallesGimenez, Telma NunesPassoni, TaisaRamos, Samanthainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2013-01-14T19:58:12Zoai:ojs2.revistas.unisinos.br:article/572Revistahttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopioPUBhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopio/oaicmira@unisinos.br || cmira@unisinos.br2177-62022177-6202opendoar:2013-01-14T19:58:12Calidoscópio (Online) - Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)false |
