SUMMARY:

English has become the most widespread language in the world, an essential language today for the job market, international relations and education. Due to this, the English language has been incorporated into regular education in Brazil for some decades, although this scenario has not improved much in terms of communication skills.The work takes as a starting point the difficulties that teachers of regular schools, in Brazil, face in relation to the teaching and learning processes of English. This problem may be due to the scarcity of teaching resources that present teaching strategies for the creation of playful and attractive environments for the teaching-learning process of the language in question.For this reason, it is evident the need to diversify activities in English classes using new technological resources, adjusting the didactic material in order to guide the teacher in a different way in this process. Therefore, one can make use of Educational Robotics (ER) that have brought numerous advances to Education, and one can find in it a way to improve the environment in the classroom. Therefore, this dissertation presents a proposal for the integration of RE as a tool to aid in the teaching and learning processes of the English language, with the  onstruction of didactic sequences combined with the use of a low-cost robotic kit, to guide the educator in this integration process. The suggested development methodology is inspired by the instructional design, the field of application being a regular school in the public school system in the municipality of Parnamirim, and the target audience consists of English teachers in the sixth year of Elementary School. For the initial stages of the project, an analysis was carried out through questionnaires addressed to teachers, in order to know the needs in this area, in addition to a literature review for the theoretical foundation of the project. Then, didactic sequences were developed proposing the use of a low-cost robotic model. Finally, an evaluation of the proposed methodology was carried out, through interviews and questionnaires addressed to teachers in order to analyze the effectiveness and feasibility of using the didactic material, as well as important information was collected that duly led to the construction of this material. At first, there was a bit of resistance on the part of the teachers regarding the idea of using RE technology in their classes, due to the connection they make of Robotics with a level of knowledge with computing, electronics or programming, but after getting to know the proposal better and having a participation in the construction of the didactic material (giving their opinion and talking about their needs) were more confident and excited. The results indicate that with the use of didactic material for teachers combined with robotic technology, the paradigm that only with training in the area of ICTs can one make use of a robot in the classroom, as well as improve the teacher performance with regard to the integration of new technologies in the classroom.
