HYBRIDITY AND TECHNOLOGICAL INTEGRATION IN LANGUAGE
TEACHING
Technological integration, language teaching, basic education.
The relationship between language and technology is complex, in the sense
that language itself is a biological and artefactual technology. There is a lot of
physiology involved in the development of language, which has made it possible
for humans to develop powerful devices for communication, from the alphabet
to smartphones, language and technology are developed with the aim of
building, storing and communicating knowledge and the product of social
interaction between individuals. In this epistemological relationship, language
teaching and teaching methods are intertwined, which rely on language and
communication technologies, to overcome the limits of time and space,
allowing, in an intersection environment, so virtual as the language itself, to
make constructs of multidisciplinary knowledge. This project aims to investigate
this relationship (language/technology), from the perspective of language
teaching/learning in its natural, virtual and artifactual condition.
