Contribuições das tecnologias digitais da informação e da comunicação (TDICs) frente ao ensino de língua inglesa na EJA

Abstract

The EJA modality emerges as a viable alternative for the resumption of studies. However, the teaching proposal offered must be different from that offered by regular education, since EJA students have greater social and cultural life experience, making the teaching proposal continuous. Therefore, Digital Information and Communication Technologies (TDICS), in the face of English language teaching, emerge as methodological strategies that contribute to the teaching-learning process, in addition to favoring students' autonomy and awakening, through the search for new knowledge. Given this reality, the present study is based on the following guiding question: What are the contributions of TDICs in the face of the methodological proposal for teaching English in EJA? Thus, the present work has as its general objective to analyze the contributions of TDICs in the face of the proposal of creative strategies within the English language teaching schedule in EJA. The specific objectives consisted of presenting the trajectory of Youth and Adult Education in Brazil; to identify the impacts of English language teaching in Youth and Adult Education, as well as to determine the contributions of ICTs associated with the most effective methodological strategies in teaching English language to EJA students. To this end, a descriptive bibliographic research was carried out. Data collection was carried out through the search and screening of materials in several reliable sources, such as the Scielo and Google Scholar databases. Studies (articles, monographs and dissertations) published between 2015 and 2024, which addressed information and communication technologies in English language teaching in EJA, were selected. The research is based on the studies of Galdino (2018), Souza, (2019), Menezes e Silva (2021) and other theorists of English language teaching. The research results showed that the use of innovative tools tends to contribute to the proposal of viable and beneficial pedagogical practices, which are also aimed at teaching English.
