In order to examine the factors that impinge on an on-going change, this Field Study involved a consideration of the first two Royal Society of Arts Courses In The Teaching of English in Singapore Schools (RSA TESL). These were part-time courses offered to graduate teachers to enable them to further improve their skills in English Language teaching. The study was based on a questionnaire that incorporated the following components: the general background of the teacher the school climate the level of attainment in relation to the competencies identified the level of sharing the methods of dissemination Of the teachers from courses one and two who were invited to attend a feedback session, forty-eight responded. The questionnaire was designed to elicit responses from the participants in relation to the main factors mentioned above. The results of the study were subjected to three main types of analyses viz, comparisons based on raw data co-relations of the different factors using the Pearson's Product Moment Co-efficient Chi-square and T-score analyses of means of the different factors to ascertain degrees of relationship. Since the course had a task-based emphasis, it was not surprising that the study revealed a high level of attainment of the teachers in relation to the main competencies developed in the course. This in turn was shown to have a significant effect on the confidence of the teachers to share their knowledge and skills with other teachers. Another factor that was significant in terms of the levels of sharing achieved by the teachers was the position held by them. It was found that a greater degree of sharing of skills and knowledge was achieved by the senior subject teachers than those who were not. This was also confirmed when a comparison of courses one and two was made. The degree of sharing achieved by the course one participants was higher because there were more senior subject teachers among them. Furthermore, this difference in sharing in relation to position was marked in both schools that had a good climate or those that had a poor climate. The school climate also significantly affected the relative level of sharing of skills and knowledge achieved by the teachers. Even among the senior subject teachers, the level of sharing was greater in schools with a good climate than in those with a poor climate. Finally, in terms of the method of dissemination, it was found that the senior subject teachers used both the formal (demonstrations, workshops) and informal methods of dissemination while the ordinary teachers used mainly the informal (discussions etc) methods of dissemination. The four main findings arising from the study have had a significant impact on the future developments in relation to the RSA TESL course as well as other in-service courses where a transfer of knowledge/skills is expected on completion of the course.

This study aimed to investigate how English language curriculum of the sixth, seventh and eighth grades of public primary schools was implemented by teachers and how it was experienced by students. The major areas of investigation were the teachers&rsquo / and students&rsquo / perceptions of the curriculum goals and content, instructional strategies, evaluation and assessment procedures, learner attitudes and the problems encountered during the curriculum implementation. Through a questionnaire for teachers and students, the data collected were from 368 teachers and 1235 students randomly selected from the 21 cities and 42 towns of the seven regions of Turkey. The results revealed that the implementation process of the English language curriculum showed differences in relation to the facilities of schools and classrooms, teacher and student characteristics and perceptions. Majority of the curriculum goals were attained at a moderate level and there were some problems with the selection and ordering of curriculum content. Various types of teacher-centered and learner-centered instructional strategies were implemented depending on the language skill to be taught and learned, and the students had positive attitudes towards most of these instructional strategies. The main problems encountered in the implementation process resulted from the lack of materials and resources, the course-book, the learners, the classroom environment and the curriculum. These problems influenced the attainment of goals, classroom practices and the assessment procedures. v Teachers&rsquo / perceptions of curriculum goals and content differed in relation to school location, age, teaching experience and educational background. Students&rsquo / perceptions of the curriculum differed in relation to their grade levels, gender, parents&rsquo / educational and English level and previous English grade.

The present study evaluates the language improvement courses in the undergraduate curriculum of the Department of English Language Teaching (ELT) at Eastern Mediterranean University. The language improvement courses are: Oral Communication Skills I and II, Reading Skills I, II, and Advanced Reading Skills, Writing Skills I, II and Advanced Writing Skills, and English Grammar I and II. In this evaluation study, the adapted version of Bellon and Handler&rsquo / s (1982) curriculum evaluation model was employed. The participants of the study were six instructors teaching the language improvement courses and students enrolled in these courses. The data, both qualitative and quantitative, were collected through course evaluation questionnaires for students, interviews with students and teachers, classroom observations, and examination of relevant written documents such as course policy sheets, course materials, and assessment tools used in the courses. The results of the study show that generally the language improvement courses were effective in terms of five aspects specified in the evaluation model employed in the study, as perceived by the students and the instructors. However, the students and the instructors suggested making some changes to the existing language improvement courses to make them more effective and better adjusted to the students&rsquo / needs and expectations. Some important conclusions drawn and recommendations made were: Practice (i.e. practice and production) component in the language improvement courses should be enhanced, a wider variety of authentic materials should be used in the courses, various methods and activities should be utilized in teaching-learning process, and intra-subject and inter-subject relationships (i.e. continuity and coherence) between or among the courses need to be strengthened.

As a result of various historical, political, economic and sociocultural factors, English today witnesses a unique situation as its non-native speakers represent a clear majority in the world. This has implications for the ownership of the English language as such, the linguistic rights of its speakers and the points of departure for English Language Teaching (ELT) worldwide. The study of the use of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) challenges nativespeakerist norms through research in a wide range of linguistic fields such as lexicogrammar, phonology and pragmatics, suggesting various pedagogical alterations. Although ELF is now a prolific area of research, studies in Swedish upper secondary language education from an ELF perspective, remain a scarcity in the literature. The present paper engages in surveying teaching attitudes toward ELF in Swedish upper secondary education among Swedish and Anglophone International Baccalaureate (IB) teachers and in two contemporary syllabi, namely Swedish (ELT) and IB syllabi. The questionnaire given to the two aforementioned groups of teachers suggest that ELF-friendly teaching descriptions best suit their students even though both groups believe that teaching descriptions based on native speaker norms and varieties represent the most appropriate approach. The critical discourse analysis of the two syllabi suggests that ELF is approached in different ways in the two systems: the Swedish ELT curricula may be perceived as rather ELF-friendly because native speaker norms, deviations and errors, grammaticality and idiomaticity are almost non-existent, whereas the IB revolves around linguistic prescriptivism and native speaker norms to a larger extent. The present study argues that English language curricula in Sweden should be informed by research on ELF.

Também será investigada, neste trabalho, a melhora da proficiência na língua-alvo dos aprendizes após o processo. Para a coleta de dados foram utilizados diários de pesquisa do professor pesquisador, gravações em áudio e vídeo da sala de aula, gravações apenas em áudio das interações dos alunos trabalhando em pares ou grupos maiores, questionários aplicados aos discentes e um teste de proficiência que foi aplicado no início e final do ano letivo de 2007, ano em que se deu a coleta de dados para esta pesquisa. O arcabouço teórico se fundamenta em estudos sobre tarefas de autores como Prabhu (1987), Nunan (1992) Candlin (1987), Barbirato (1999, 2005) entre outros. A análise panorâmica dos resultados demonstrou que o trabalho em que coexistiram tarefas comunicativas e pré-comunicativas pôde ser alternativa para o ensino/aprendizagem de língua inglesa no contexto investigado, onde havia limitação linguístico-comunicativa prévia na língua-alvo detectada na maioria dos participantes. Também foi possível averiguar que o trabalho com tarefas possibilitou esforço colaborativo entre os aprendizes, momentos de explicitação da forma, léxico ou pronúncia da língua-alvo, geradas a partir da própria interação proposta pela tarefa e imediatamente inseridos na negociação da mesma. Também foi percebido, a partir dos dados, que houve considerável melhora da proficiência auditiva, lexical e gramatical dos alunos na língua-alvo após o trabalho do ano letivo de 2007, ano em que foram inseridas as tarefas investigadas... / This qualitative and ethnographic research aims at analyzing how is the interaction of the learners working in pairs or bigger groups happens in a process of English teaching/learning process through classes based on the use of communicative and pré-communicative tasks in a private college situated in the northeast of the state of São Paulo. We also investigate, in this research, the improvement of the learners’ proficiency in the target language after the process. In order to collect the data we used audio-visual records of the classroom, audio records of learners working in pairs or bigger groups, questionnaires applied to the learners and a proficiency test applied to the students in the beginning and in the end of the year of 2007, period when the data were collected. The theoretical framework is based on the studies about tasks of Prabhu (1987), Nunan (1992), Candlin (1987), Barbirato (1999, 2005) among others. The panoramic analysis of the results demonstrated that the co-existence of communicative and pre-communicative tasks could be an alternative to the English language teaching/learning in the studied context, where there was prior linguisticcommunicative limitation of the research participants. It was also possible to check that the task work promoted collaborative effort among the learners, form, lexical and pronunciation explanation moments, created by the task interaction and immediately included in the negotiation of the task. We could also realize, by the data, that there was a considerable improvement of the listening, lexical and grammatical proficiency in the learners after the work in the year of 2007, when the tasks and other activities that were analyzed in this research were included.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This research was developed as part of the CNPq projects Análise crítica de gêneros com foco em artigos de popularização da ciência (MOTTA-ROTH, 2007), and Análise crítica de gêneros discursivos em práticas sociais de popularização da ciência (MOTTA-ROTH, 2010) concerning the critical analysis of science popularization genre. The science popularization (SP) involves a complex process of recontextualization of the scientific discourse in the mass media, which is realized in different discourse genres, such as SP news and reportage (MOTTA-ROTH, 2009). In this process, the journalist mediator appropriates and re-elaborates the knowledge produced by specialists to non-specialized audience by making use of different linguistic strategies, such as reformulation (HYLAND; 2007; LOVATO, 2010; GERHARDT, 2011). The objective of this study is to analyze the popularization process of the discourse about English language teaching in didactic reportages published on Nova Escola online by considering the reformulation strategies. In order to conduct this investigation, two corpora were selected: academic articles on language teaching and learning, published at Brazilian leading journals of Applied Linguistics, whose objective was to identify the contemporary conversations (GEE, 2001) about the issue; and didactic reportages about English language teaching, published on Nova Escola online. The analysis concerning the first corpus indicated three recurrent conversations: Critical perspective; Multiliteracies; Discourse genre, which suggest a critical linguistic education practice based on the use of language as a complex sociosemiotic system, as well as on the role of the school teacher conceived as an agent of critical (multi)literacies. The analysis of the second corpus indicated divergence from the contemporary conversations regarding two main aspects: language is conceived as lexicogrammar, and the teacher is positioned as a consumer of how-to recipes. The theoretical and methodological perspective adopted in this study is Critical Genre Analysis (MEURER, 2001; MOTTA-ROTH, 2008), an interdisciplinary perspective formed by Critical Discourse Analysis (FAIRCLOUGH, 2003, 2001), Socio-rhetoric (MILLER, 1984, SWALES, 2004; BAZERMAN, 2005) and Systemic Functional Linguistics (HALLIDAY; HASAN, 1989; HALLIDAY; MATTHIESSEN, 2004). / Esta tese de doutorado foi desenvolvida no âmbito dos projetos CNPq Análise crítica de gêneros com foco em artigos de popularização da ciência (MOTTA-ROTH, 2007) e Análise crítica de gêneros discursivos em práticas sociais de popularização da ciência (MOTTA-ROTH, 2010), referentes à análise crítica de gêneros de popularização da ciência. A popularização da ciência (PC) envolve um complexo processo de recontextualização do discurso científico na mídia de massa, o qual é materializado em diferentes gêneros discursivos, como a notícia e a reportagem de PC (MOTTA-ROTH, 2009). Nesse processo, o jornalista mediador apropria-se e reelabora o conhecimento produzido por especialistas para o público não especialista, fazendo uso de diferentes estratégias, como a reformulação (HYLAND; 2007; LOVATO, 2010; GERHARDT, 2011). O objetivo deste estudo é analisar o processo de popularização do discurso sobre ensino e aprendizagem de inglês na mídia por meio da análise das estratégias de reformulação. Para esta investigação, foram selecionados dois corpora: artigos acadêmicos sobre aprendizagem de línguas, publicados em periódicos brasileiros da área de Linguística Aplicada, cujo objetivo foi mapear as conversações contemporâneas (GEE, 2001) sobre a questão; e reportagens didáticas sobre ensino de inglês, publicadas na revista Nova Escola online. O resultado da análise do primeiro corpus indicou três conversações mais recorrentes: Perspectiva crítica, Multiletramentos e Gêneros discursivos, que apontam para uma educação linguística pautada no uso criticamente informado da linguagem enquanto sistema sociossemiótico complexo, e no papel do professor de escola como um agente de (multi)letramentos críticos. A análise do segundo corpus indicou divergência das conversações contemporâneas em dois aspectos principais: linguagem concebida como lexicogramática, e o professor de escola posicionado como consumidor de receitas de conduta. A perspectiva teórico-metodológica que embasa este estudo é a Análise Crítica de Gênero (MEURER, 2001; MOTTA-ROTH, 2008), perspectiva interdisciplinar que reúne a Análise Crítica do Discurso (FAIRCLOUGH, 2003, 2001), a Sociorretórica (MILLER, 1984, SWALES, 2004; BAZERMAN, 2005) e a Linguística Sistêmico-Funcional (HALLIDAY; HASAN, 1989; HALLIDAY; MATTHIESSEN, 2004).

The theoretic guide is centered in Discourse Analysis presupposes, of French orientation, that reflects about the elements which moves the relations among discourse, culture, history, subject and sense, and also it recommends a theoretic board which align them to the English language and the learning, for indicating how the idiom has influenced in the professional inclusion and exclusion of the involved subjects. The discursive corpus is constituted by a set of discursive sequences, obtained in semi-structured interviews. To this, the students and professor s conceptions were investigated which refer to English Language teaching-learning and the professional practice in the courses mentioned above, and also the employment expectations in relation to the work market requirements of a VALEXPORT company s representative. Five students from Secretariado Executivo and Comércio Exterior Courses, three professors from FACAPE who teach English Language and two employees from VALEXPORT Company contributed to the research. The caught result proposes, to the students, contributions to a critical reflection of the mentioned problems. So, by understanding better the society dynamism where they live, could notice themselves as life elements of political force and transforming capacity, and also make structured changes which point to a fairer society. / Em virtude do alargamento de fronteiras comerciais na região do Vale do São Francisco, o aumento do número de escolas de idiomas na cidade de Petrolina-PE, a globalização e sua repercussão no processo sócio-histórico-cultural e o surgimento de empresas de exportação e importação de produtos e serviços na região, a presente dissertação tem como objetivo investigar a importância do domínio da Língua Inglesa e seus efeitos de sentido na prática profissional junto aos alunos e professores de idiomas dos cursos de Secretariado Executivo e Comércio Exterior da FACAPE no mercado de trabalho no que se refere ao processo de comunicação, seja falado ou escrito. O marco teórico centra-se nos pressupostos da Análise de Discurso, de orientação francesa, que refletem sobre os elementos que movimentam as relações entre discurso, cultura, história, sujeito e sentido, como também preconiza um quadro teórico que os alie à Língua Inglesa e à aprendizagem, a fim de que indiquem como o idioma tem influenciado na inclusão ou exclusão profissional dos sujeitos envolvidos. O corpus discursivo é constituído por um conjunto de sequências discursivas, obtidas em entrevistas semiestruturadas. Para tanto, foram investigadas as concepções dos alunos e professores no que se referem ao ensino-aprendizagem da Língua Inglesa e a prática profissional nos cursos acima citados, bem como as expectativas empregatícias em relação às exigências do mercado de trabalho de um representante da Empresa VALEXPORT. Cinco alunos dos cursos de Secretariado Executivo e Comércio Exterior, três professores da FACAPE que lecionam a disciplina Língua Inglesa e dois representantes da empresa VALEXPORT foram colaboradores da pesquisa. O resultado apreendido propõe, para os alunos, contribuições para uma reflexão crítica dos problemas abordados. Assim, ao compreenderem melhor a dinâmica da sociedade em que vivem, poderão perceber-se como elementos ativos de força política e capacidade de transformar e, até mesmo, viabilizar mudanças estruturais que apontem para um modelo mais justo de sociedade.

Esta pesquisa de natureza qualitativa-interpretativista (BOGDAN; BIKLEN, 1994); (BORTONI-RICARDO, 2008) consiste em uma investigaÃÃo sobre as crenÃas dos educandos, professores e gestores em trÃs escolas pÃblicas do ensino fundamental na cidade de SÃo LuÃs do MaranhÃo. Apresenta como objetivo, compreender as influÃncias das crenÃas sobre o ensino e aprendizagem da lÃngua inglesa e suas implicaÃÃes no desenvolvimento da autonomia dos educandos nos discursos dos estudantes do oitavo ano do ensino fundamental, dos professores de lÃngua inglesa, e gestores escolares. Nesse sentido, as questÃes de pesquisa sÃo as seguintes: quais as crenÃas dos professores, estudantes e gestores sobre o ensino e aprendizagem da lÃngua inglesa? Quais as semelhanÃas e diferenÃas entre as crenÃas dos participantes da pesquisa? Como professores, educandos e gestores entendem o papel do aluno e do professor nesse processo? Em que medida as crenÃas dos professores, educandos e gestores poderiam promover ou inibir a autonomia dos aprendizes no processo de aprendizagem da lÃngua inglesa? Quais os fatores do contexto escolar que podem promover ou nÃo o estÃmulo da autonomia dos educandos? Para responder a esses questionamentos, a pesquisa utilizou os seguintes instrumentos: questionÃrio com escala baseado no inventÃrio de crenÃas BALLI (Beliefs About Language Learning Inventory), questionÃrios fechados e mistos, entrevista-semiestruturada e observaÃÃo. O referencial teÃrico baseou-se nos estudos sobre crenÃas, Barcelos (1995, 2001, 2004, 2011); Alanen (2003); Silva (2005 2007); Almeida Filho (2010), Dufva (2003), Bakhtin (2009), Faraco (2009); Brait (2005); nos estudos sobre autonomia do aprendiz baseados em Dickinson (1987); Freire (1996); Benson (2006, 2008) dentre outros. Os resultados da pesquisa mostraram a presenÃa de crenÃas em todos os grupos participantes que sugerem promover e inibir a autonomia dos educandos no seu processo de aprendizagem da lÃngua inglesa. Os grupos dos professores e gestores apresentaram crenÃas desfavorÃveis quanto à promoÃÃo da autonomia do educandos, sobretudo, a forma como os educandos sÃo percebidos diante do processo de aprendizagem da lÃngua inglesa. Em contrapartida, os educandos apresentaram crenÃas que estimulam a autonomia no processo de aprendizagem da lÃngua inglesa. Ademais, os resultados, destacaram a abordagem de aprender dos educandos como fator fundamental à influÃncia das crenÃas sobre a abordagem de ensinar do professor e dos gestores quanto ao ensino e aprendizagem do idioma inglÃs na escola pÃblica. / This qualitative-interpretative research (BOGDAN; BIKLEN, 1994); BORTONI-RICARDO, 2008) consists of an investigation into the beliefs of students, teachers and administrators in three public middle schools in the city of SÃo Luis of MaranhÃo. It presents as objective to understand the influences of beliefs on teaching and learning of English language and their implications in the development of learnersâ autonomy in the speeches of eighth-grade students, English language teachers, and school administrators. In this sense, the research questions are the following: what are the beliefs of the teachers, students and administrators on teaching and learning of English language? What are the similarities and differences among the participantsâ beliefs of the research? How the teachers, students and administrators understand the studentâs and the teacherâs roles in that process? To what extent the beliefs of teachers, students and administrators can contribute to promoting or inhibiting the learnersâ autonomy in the learning process of English language? What are schoolâs factors that can promote the stimulus or not of the learnersâ autonomy? To answer these questions, the research used the following tools: scale questionnaire based on the inventory of beliefs named BALLI (Beliefs About Language Learning Inventory), closed and mixed questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and observation. The theoretical reference is based on studies about beliefs, Barcelos (1995, 2001, 2004, 2011); Alanen (2003); Silva (2005, 2007); Almeida Filho (2010); Dufva (2003), Bakhtin (2009), Faraco (2009); Brait (2005), and learnerâs autonomy based on Dickinson (1987); Freire (1996); Benson (2006, 2008) and so on. The results from the search showed the presence of beliefs in all the participant groups that suggest fostering and inhibiting the studentsâ autonomy in their learning process in English language. The groups of teachers and administrators showed disfavour beliefs regarding the promotion of studentsâ autonomy, mainly, the way how the learners are perceived in the learning process of English language. On the other hand, the students presented beliefs that stimulate the autonomy in the process of English language learning. Furthermore, the results detached the studentsâ learning approach as a fundamental factor to the influence of beliefs on the teachersâ teaching approach and administratorsâ approach regarding the teaching and learning of English language in public school.

A presente pesquisa de natureza qualitativa com características colaborativa e etnográfica crítica buscou investigar a formação de professores de língua inglesa via dois documentos oficiais voltados para o segmento do ensino Médio (as Orientações Curriculares para o Ensino Médio Língua Inglesa e o Referencial Curricular para o Ensino de Língua Inglesa do Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul). O trabalho fundamentou-se principalmente nos estudos sobre globalização, educação, letramentos, linguística aplicada, políticas linguísticas e filosofia. Por meio de um trabalho colaborativo de três anos com três professoras de inglês, os dados foram coletados de gravações em áudio dos momentos de interação entre o pesquisador e as professoras colaboradoras na fase de discussão dos documentos oficiais. Foram ainda utilizados nas análises dos dados um palestra proferida pelas professoras, entrevista, diário de campo gravação dos depoimentos dos alunos, bem como o depoimento da diretora da escola. A análise fundamenta-se principalmente nos seguintes enfoques abordados neste trabalho: a descrição do contexto de ensino aprendizagem na escola participante; a verificação do que a discussão dos documentos oficiais pode informar sobre a prática das professoras; a discussão do ensino da língua inglesa em uma sociedade globalizada; a verificação sobre o conhecimento local e reconstrução deste a partir de um trabalho colaborativo entre escola pública e universidade e, por fim, o debate sobe a lógica de emancipação revisitada na formação de professores. / The current research of qualitative nature with collaborative and critical etnography characteristics aimed at investigating teacher education based on two official documents both addressed to the high school segment (Orientações Curriculares para o Ensino Médio Língua Inglesa; Referencial Curricular para o Ensino de Língua Inglesa do Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul). The work particularly focused on globalization, education, literacies, applied linguistics, language policy and philosophy. Under a three year collaborative work with three English teachers, data were gathered from audio recordings during the moments of interactions between the researcher and the teachers in the phase of document discussion. Furthermore, analyses have relied on lecturers delivered by the teachers, interviews, diaries and recordings of students´ reports as well as the school principal´s recorded reports. Analyses have addressed the following aspects raised in this study: Description of school teaching and learning contexts; investigation of what discussion of official documents can inform about teachers´ practices; discussion of English language teaching in a globalized society; local knowledge reconstruction through the collaboration between public school and university and, lastly, the logic of emancipation was revisited in the analysis of teacher education.

This is a qualitative research of exploratory nature, characterized as a case study (YIN, 2010), having as context of interest the study of the pedagogical practices of an English-language teacher who uses digital mobile devices and produces assemblages (DELEUZE, 1996). It has as general objective to understand what characteristics of a Minor Education (GALLO, 2016) are present in the pedagogical practices of this teacher when using mobile devices to teach the English language. The specific objectives are: to identify how this teacher has used the mobile devices in her pedagogical practices; analyze which factors determined the integration of digital mobile devices; to understand if there are and what processes of deterritorialization, political ramification and collective value are present in the pedagogical work of the teacher participating in the research. In a critical-use perspective of technologies (BUZATO, 2006; GASPAR da SILVA & MENDES, 2015), the study is based on the field of Digital Cultures (LEVY, 1999; SANTAELLA, 2007), of Mobile Assisted Language Learning (STOCKWELL & HUBBARD, 2013; KUKULSKA-HULME, 2013), of Autonomy in Language Learning (FREIRE, 1996, MICCOLI, 2005, PAIVA, 2009, 2012, 2015), and Minor Education (GALLO, 2016). As research results, we understand that the participating teacher, using digital technologies or not, from within a Major Education, develops a Minor Education that occurs through the main device that she uses: assemblages. In this way, the smartphone, despite being one of the most used resources in her unique pedagogical practices, is not solely responsible for the production of a Minor Education. It is so because the participating teacher’s work does not revolve around the benefits of that device, nor does it depend on them. / Esta é uma pesquisa qualitativa de natureza exploratória, caracterizada como estudo de caso (YIN, 2010), tendo como contexto de interesse o estudo das práticas pedagógicas de uma professora de língua inglesa que utiliza dispositivos móveis e produz agenciamentos (DELEUZE, 1996). Tem como objetivo geral compreender quais características de uma Educação Menor (GALLO, 2016) estão presentes nas práticas pedagógicas da professora ao utilizar dispositivos móveis para ensinar a língua inglesa. Já os objetivos específicos são: identificar de que maneira a professora tem utilizado os dispositivos móveis em suas práticas pedagógicas; analisar quais fatores determinaram a integração dos dispositivos móveis; compreender se há e quais processos de desterritorialização, ramificação política e valor coletivo estão presentes no trabalho pedagógico da professora participante da pesquisa. Numa perspectiva de uso crítico de tecnologias (BUZATO, 2006; GASPAR da SILVA e MENDES, 2015), o estudo está fundamentado no campo das Culturas Digitais (LEVY, 1999; SANTAELLA, 2007), da Aprendizagem de Línguas Assistida por Dispositivos móveis (STOCKWELL e HUBBARD, 2013; KUKULSKA-HULME, 2013), da Autonomia na Aprendizagem de Línguas (FREIRE, 1996; MICCOLI, 2005; PAIVA, 2009; 2012 ; 2015), e da Educação Menor (GALLO, 2016). Como resultados de pesquisa, compreendemos que a professora participante, utilizando-se de tecnologias digitais ou não, de dentro de uma Educação Maior, desenvolve uma Educação Menor que ocorre por intermédio do principal dispositivo de que ela lança mão: o agenciamento. Desta maneira, o smartphone, apesar de ser um dos recursos mais utilizados em suas práticas pedagógicas diferenciadas, não é o único responsável pela produção de uma Educação Menor. Isso porque seu trabalho não gira em torno das benesses desse dispositivo, tampouco depende dele. / São Cristóvão, SE
