O impacto dos anglicismos no processo de aprendizagem inicial de inglês: desafios e oportunidades interculturais

Abstract

The present work aims to identify the presence of anglicisms in the Portuguese language, analyze how this presence can be used as a point of contact between the student and the study of the English language, how the use of these words can help the student to become familiar with reading, writing, listening and speaking of this language, and how through this the teacher can stimulate intercultural respect. Data collection shows that despite the presence of anglicisms being viewed with suspicion, and some considering them acculturation, it is clear that the English language has made significant contributions to the Portuguese language. The theoretical framework used was works by Araújo (2022), Dias (2022), Fernandes (2018), Gallo (2021), Rocha (2018), among others. This is a bibliographical research, using the monographic method, of a qualitative nature, descriptive and explanatory objectives, and data collection was done in a documentary manner. It was noted that anglicisms bring a relevant cultural contribution, and can be used in a way that contributes to lexical growth. The use of anglicisms should therefore emphasize the cultural value of the Portuguese language.
