Elaboração de objetos digitais para o ensino e aprendizagem da língua inglesa para estudantes em contextos idiossincráticos

Abstract

This research focuses on reflections and performs analysis involving the issue of development of Digital Teaching Learning Objects (DTLO) to idiosyncratic contexts.From research and our empirical knowledge on the subject,it emerged some questions that stand out as guiding our research:is there any material available for teaching-learning process of the students who are in idiosyncratic contexts that enable them critical and creative thinking to their status as current and future life? How to develop digital learning objects considering the inclusion in the Information Age, but at the same time under limited conditions of access to cyberspace, taking into account the environment in which these students are?In order to find answers to the questioning raised, we draw, the focus of this work, presenting an example of material for teaching that contains a coherent design with idiosyncratic environments. We use a variety of theorists to guide the development of Learning Objects to digital geared towards to teaching a second language, in this case, English.With a view to achieve the proposed objective, we support this research in theoretical assumptions of Applied Linguistics, the qualitative type.As the reference point for this study we analyze an English language material prepared for the Distance Education (DE) modality and from the analysis, we suggest and present Digital Teaching Learning Objects (DTLOs) for the prison context.The interest in the area is linked to our participation and monitoring the preparation of the Project called e- Sipris, a Distance Education for the Prison System, and also for monitoring the courses for prison officers who act as tutors in that project.The shortcomings of the prison environment in many ways and proof of few materials focused distance education to prisons have led us to the present study.To start the process of investigation and suggestion on how to prepare DLOs, we take as a starting point the analysis of so-called material: Inglês para Informática. As a preliminary result of this research process, we understand that there is little material available for teaching a second language in the prison context and that even existing provide no more likely to promote access to knowledge broadly. Besides, it also does not include the uniqueness of the conditions of the students who are in prisons and that present the most varied difficulties in accessing educational material resources in the context of the use of digital technology, which also suffers the certain restrictions by the bodies responsible for security prisons.
