Digital tools in English language classes: experience in elementary school 2

 Digital tools; English language. Active Methodologies.

This research is being developed in the Postgraduate Program in Innovation in Educational Technologies of the Instituto Metrópole Digital under the line of Research Practices with Educational Technologies whose theme is: Digital tools in English language classes: experience in elementary education 2. The problem in question is the lack of interest and engagement of students during English language classes. Therefore, we asked what the implications would be of using digital tools, mediated by active methodologies, in teaching and learning English in 8th grade classes in EF2. Therefore, we developed the following general research objective: to understand the implications of using digital tools, mediated by active methodologies, in teaching and learning English in 8th grade classes. Authors such as Moran (2006; 2015; 2018), Almeida and Valente (2011; 2012), Bender (2015) Bergmann and Sams (2018), Freire (2015), Papert (2015) among others are being used to develop the research. . In turn, the method used is action research. It is expected that from the collection and analysis of data, the results of this research can point out directions in order to enable .students to take a leading role in the construction of their own knowledge through dialogue between active methodologies and digital tools, presented during this work, in order to enhance learning in English. As a final product, we will have the website produced by the teacher-researcher where the final works will be published, built collaboratively by the student groups.
