Metodologias e estrátegias para o ensino de língua inglesa no ensino fundamental

Abstract

The teaching of English in elementary school is one of the pillars for educating students capable of interacting in global contexts, promoting not only communicative skills but also intercultural competencies. In light of the guidelines set forth by the Common National Curriculum Base (BNCC), new demands arise to make learning more meaningful, inclusive, and aligned with the country’s social and educational realities. In this context, it becomes essential to investigate the methodologies and strategies adopted in Brazilian schools and their effectiveness in enhancing learning and inclusion. Therefore, the research problem that guided this study was: Given the requirements of the BNCC and the diverse educational realities of Brazil, which methodologies and strategies have proven effective for teaching English in elementary education, and how can they be adjusted to foster greater student engagement and inclusion? The general objective of this study is to identify effective strategies for teaching English at the elementary level. The specific objectives include: reviewing the main theoretical and methodological approaches used; evaluating the impact of technological tools on students' learning and their contribution to engagement and inclusion; identifying the challenges faced by teachers and school administrators in applying the BNCC guidelines to English teaching; and proposing innovative pedagogical practices that are adaptable to the different educational realities of Brazil, considering both structural and methodological aspects. The results indicated that communicative methodologies, when adapted to local contexts, promote greater engagement and intercultural competencies, but their effectiveness depends on continuous teacher training, adequate teaching resources, and institutional support. It was concluded that the implementation of pedagogical practices aligned with the BNCC can transform English language teaching in Brazil, provided they are supported by consistent and collaborative public policies
