The Development of Two Units for <em>Basic Training and Resources for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages</em>: "Working Successfully with Young Learners" and "Working Successfully with Very Young Learners"

Healy, Heidi 26 June 2012 (has links) (PDF)
Many thousands of people with varying degrees of preparation teach English as a second or foreign language to many millions of people around the world. Some of these teachers are novice, volunteer teachers, who have not received any professional-level training. These novice teachers help to meet the demand for English teachers by often teaching for little remuneration or in non-ideal teaching conditions. These teachers can benefit from receiving training in how to teach English as a foreign language. Basic Training and Resources for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (BTRTESOL) is a program that is being created to provide training to these novice teachers on a wide variety of topics, including teaching various age groups. Research has shown that children learn language differently from adults. It is therefore important that teachers be aware of the cognitive, social, and emotional development of children and the teaching techniques that help children acquire language. Additionally, important differences exist between very young children (aged 3-7) and children (aged 7-11) that affect how they learn and how they should be taught. In addition to novice, untrained teachers, people who have been trained to teach English to adults may work abroad teaching English to children. They can benefit from additional training in educating children. In sum, training in the distinctive language learning needs of children will help all these teachers and their students to be more successful.

Orientadores: Matilde Virgínia Ricardi Scaramucci, Claudia Hilsdorf Rocha / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Estudos da Linguagem / Made available in DSpace on 2018-08-17T19:05:52Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Lima_AnaPaulade_M.pdf: 2460778 bytes, checksum: 878af9143fa3f9ea8daa71e39f428a65 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011 / Resumo: O ensino de língua inglesa tem se iniciado cada vez mais cedo nas escolas regulares brasileiras (SCHEIFER, 2008; COSTA, 2008). A expansão desse ensino incentiva as pesquisas na área, que revelam, dentre outras coisas, a escassez de estudos sobre o livro didático de língua inglesa (RAMOS; ROSELLI, 2008) e sobre avaliação em língua estrangeira para crianças (REA-DICKINS; RIXON, 1997; SCARAMUCCI et al., 2008; COSTA, 2008). Esses dados nos chamaram a atenção, tendo em vista a forte influência dos livros didáticos no processo de ensino-aprendizagem de línguas (RICHARDS, 2002; PINTO; PESSOA, 2009; DIAS, 2009, dentre outros), bem como das avaliações na vida dos alunos, no ambiente escolar e na sociedade como um todo (SCARAMUCCI, 1998/1999; 2000/2001; 2004; 2006; HUGHES, 2003; SHOHAMY, 2004; MCNAMARA, 2000), podendo causar tanto impactos positivos quanto negativos. Propomo-nos, então, neste trabalho qualitativo e de cunho interpretativista, a analisar as avaliações de rendimento sugeridas por alguns livros didáticos de inglês voltados para alunos do Ensino Fundamental I. Como as avaliações de rendimento visam a observar se os objetivos de ensino foram alcançados, nosso objetivo é analisar se as concepções de linguagem, ensino e aprendizagem que as fundamentam são as mesmas que embasam o ensino, bem como se os objetivos de ensino são contemplados na avaliação. Analisamos, ainda, se as avaliações propostas por esses materiais estão em consonância com o que as pesquisas na área de avaliação consideram adequadas para a condução do processo de ensino-aprendizagem-avaliação nesse segmento. A análise revelou desencontros entre o que se ensina e o que se avalia, tendo em vista que nem todos os conteúdos ensinados são avaliados e que as habilidades orais, apesar de enfatizadas pelos materiais, são pouco recorrentes nas avaliações. Observamos também que, apesar da maioria das avaliações refletir as visões de linguagem, ensino e aprendizagem que embasam o ensino, essas concepções estão muito distantes das visões mais contemporâneas, segundo as quais a aprendizagem ocorre por meio da interação significativa e a língua é entendida como um sistema holístico de comunicação e de reflexão que permite ao indivíduo "agir no mundo" (SCARAMUCCI, 2006, p. 59) / Abstract: Even though the teaching of foreign languages is not mandatory in Elementary School in Brazil, English has been taught since early schooling (ROCHA, 2006; SCHEIFER, 2008; COSTA, 2008). The interest in this area has increased and research has shown the scarcity of studies about English textbooks (RAMOS; ROSELLI, 2008) and assessment (REA-DICKINS; RIXON, 1997; SCARAMUCCI et al. 2008; COSTA, 2008) for children. Considering the influence of textbooks (RICHARDS, 2002; PINTO; PESSOA, 2009; DIAS, 2009) and assessments (SCARAMUCCI, 1998/1999; 2000/2001; 2004; 2006; HUGHES, 2003; SHOHAMY, 2004; MCNAMARA, 2000) in the teaching-learning process, we conducted this qualitative and interpretive study to analyze the tests proposed by some English textbooks for elementary level students in order to observe the concepts of language teaching and learning that underlie them; in addition, we investigated whether the learning objectives are included in the assessment. We also analyzed whether the tests proposed by these materials are in line with what the research in the language assessment area consider appropriate to conduct the teaching-learning-assessment process in this segment. This study shows that there is a mismatch between teaching and assessment: the content taught is not totally assessed and the oral skills, although emphasized in the material, are not usually evaluated in the tests. Most of the tests reflect the views of language, teaching and learning that underlie the teaching process. However these concepts are not on a par with contemporary views, in which learning occurs through interaction and meaningful language is understood as a holistic system of communication and reflection that allows the individual to "act in the world" (SCARAMUCCI, 2006, p. 59) / Mestrado / Lingua Estrangeira / Mestre em Linguística Aplicada

Uso de um exame internacional de proficiencia em lingua inglesa para crianças no ensino fundamental brasileiro / An international proficiency exam of english for children in the brazilian elementary schools

Costa, Leny Pereira, 1955- 12 August 2018 (has links)
Orientador: Matilde Virginia Ricardi Scaramucci / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Estudo da Linguagem / Made available in DSpace on 2018-08-12T19:15:12Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Costa_LenyPereira_M.pdf: 3097039 bytes, checksum: a016ffb55209e74ff7643ab242afcb9b (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008 / Resumo: Tem sido crescente, não só no contexto nacional como em nível mundial, o interesse pelo ensino de línguas estrangeiras, marcadamente o inglês, sendo que o segmento que vem apresentando maior crescimento é o de língua estrangeira para crianças de 6 a 12 anos (REA-DICKENS e RIXON, 1997). No Brasil, apesar de facultativo no Ensino Fundamental I, o ensino de língua inglesa já faz parte do currículo da grande maioria das escolas particulares e algumas públicas, dependendo de iniciativas municipais, não havendo diretrizes oficiais que possam orientá-lo. Observamos que o crescimento, nesse contexto, tem ocorrido de forma desordenada, apresentando problemas de diversas naturezas que contribuem para a comprovada ineficiência desse setor (ROCHA, 2006; COSTA, 2007). Nesse cenário, inúmeras escolas particulares, a título de apresentar referências de progresso de aprendizagem do jovem aprendiz no Ensino Fundamental I, estão fazendo uso de um exame externo de proficiência em língua inglesa, mais especificamente o YLE - Young Learners Exam, elaborado pela Universidade de Cambridge (UCLES - University of Cambridge Local Exams Syndicate). Consideramos que exames não são neutros, tornando-se, dessa forma, fortes instrumentos de política lingüística com influências no processo de ensino e aprendizagem, afetando a vidas das pessoas, determinando e definindo o tipo de conhecimento e comportamento esperado daqueles que o prestam (SCARAMUCCI, 2004; SHOHAMY, 2004). Partindo dessa premissa, realizamos uma análise dos objetivos e do construto norteador do exame YLE, tecendo considerações sobre as possíveis consequências de seu uso como forma de avaliação no Ensino Fundamental I na educação e na sociedade. Constatamos que o exame se mostra inadequado para uso nesse contexto específico por não estar em consonância com as concepções e objetivos conforme referenciais oficialmente estabelecidos para o Ensino Básico, como um todo, e privilegiados, neste estudo, como desejáveis para nortear um processo de ensino e aprendizagem com maiores chances de sucesso. Nessa perspectiva, consideramos que um exame deve orientar-se para a construção de capacidades e conhecimentos específicos na língua-alvo, visando à formação cidadã e protagonista, sob perspectivas socioculturalmente situadas, críticas e transformadoras (ROCHA, 2006, entre outros). Entendemos, portanto, que, uma vez constatado um forte distanciamento entre o construto orientador do exame em questão e as vertentes e objetivos estabelecidos para o ensino e para situações de avaliação em LE para crianças, não consideramos que uso do YLE possa contribuir para que o ensino de língua inglesa apresente resultados mais efetivos no contexto nacional, sob perspectivas da formação integral e crítica do aluno / Abstract: There has been a notable increase in the interest for foreign languages all over the world. The teaching of English as a foreign language to children from 6 to 12 years of age represents the segment that has grown the most in the late years (REA- DICKENS and RIXON, 1997). Even though the teaching of English in the Elementary School in Brazil is not mandatory, most private schools have already included it in their curriculum. Different kinds of problems have contributed to the proven inefficiency of this sector (ROCHA, 2006; COSTA, 2007) which needs urgent measures so as to present more effective results. In this scenario, several private schools are making use of an external examination of proficiency in English, specifically the YLE - Young Learners Exam, developed by the University of Cambridge. Apparently, the results of this exam are being used as reference of the progress obtained by the young students in the first years of the Elementary School. We believe that, in general, examinations are not neutral, and may become powerful instruments influencing linguistic policies, affecting not only the teaching and learning process, but also people's lives, determining and defining the type of knowledge and the expected behavior of those involved in the process (SCARAMUCCI, 2004; SHOHAMY, 2004). Based on this premise, we considered it would be important to conduct an analysis in order to investigate the objectives and construct underlying the YLE exam, considering the possible consequences of its use as a form of assessment in the Elementary School. This study shows that the examination is not adequate to be used in this specific context since it is not in line with the concepts and goals we consider appropriate to guide such process. The theoretical guidelines in which we are based upon are officially established for the Basic Education in Brazil. In this aspect, we assume that both teaching and assessment in the regular school should be based on a socio-interactional perspective, aiming at building abilities and specific knowledge in the target language in a socio-cultural perspective (ROCHA, 2006, among others) so as to contribute to the overall growth of the students through English. Therefore, we consider that the use of the YLE specifically as a means of assessing the students' learning progress in the Elementary Schools in Brazil is inadequate as it would not be able to promote the desired and necessary changes in order to achieve better results in the teaching and learning process in the Elementary Schools / Mestrado / Lingua Estrangeira / Mestre em Linguística Aplicada

Escrever sobre a própria prática: desafios na formação do professor da primeira infância / Writing about ones own pedagogic practice: challenges in the formation of professionals teaching children aged 0-3

Zurawski, Maria Paula Vignola 12 May 2009 (has links)
O trabalho analisa os registros escritos produzidos por quatro professoras que atuavam com dois grupos de crianças de 2 a 3 anos em um Centro de Educação Infantil da rede municipal de educação da cidade de São Paulo e que participavam de um processo de formação continuada realizado por uma organização não-governamental ao longo de dois anos. A análise dos registros dos dois grupos apontou que a maioria das atividades mencionadas é realizada coletivamente, ou seja, a mesma proposta é oferecida para todas as crianças, ao mesmo tempo, o que sugere que as crianças têm longo período de espera. Os registros mostraram que o trabalho com as sequências de leitura proposto pelo projeto de formação trouxe um diferencial à rotina das crianças, que passaram a escutar histórias lidas todos os dias e um repertório de enredos, imagens e personagens passou a fazer parte do cotidiano dos dois agrupamentos. Os dados apreendidos dos registros revelaram uma ausência de conhecimentos sobre a natureza do papel de professor de crianças pequenas. Muitas de suas formas de agir são emprestadas do ensino fundamental. A sequência dos registros, porém, revela que as professoras passaram a considerar cada vez mais o ponto de vista das crianças. A análise feita apontou que os registros diários das práticas pelas professoras podem ser instrumentos estruturantes do trabalho por elas realizado, e que devem ser incorporados na prática dos coordenadores pedagógicos responsáveis pela formação continuada das equipes nas unidades. / The present dissertation aims to analyze the written records produced by four teachers in charge of two groups of children aged between 0-3 at a school which belongs to São Paulos City Council network. For a period of two years these teachers underwent a process of continuous formation by a non-governamental organization of Education for Teachers. The analyses of the records regarding both groups showed that most of the activities mentioned by the teachers were carried out in a collective way; in other words, the same task was proposed to all the children at the same time, which indicates that the latter were kept waiting for long periods of time. The records reveal that the work done on reading sequences as proposed in the teachers Training Course provided the childrens life at school with a distinguishing new element: they were given the opportunity to listen to stories which were read to them each and every day so that both groups were able to include in their daily routine a repertoire of plots, characters and images. However, the data collected from the teachers written material revealed their unawareness of important forms of knowledge regarding the nature of their role in teaching very young children. It was found that these teachers employed the kind of actions typically used at Elementary or Grade School. Nonetheless, the analysis of the sequence of their written records makes it clear that these teachers increasingly came to take into account the childrens point-of-view. The conclusion that can be drawn from the careful analysis of daily written records of their teaching is that they constitute a structuring element in the work carried out and should, therefore, be incorporated into the practice of school coordinators, responsible for the continuous training of their teams.
