"É desafio que se fala né!"Internship, technologies and Portuguese language classes
Digital Tecnology. Language Teaching. Traineeship.
This Disseration aims at discussing the experience of the undergraduate
students of the Letter graduation course (Portuguese) from the Bahia State
University (UNEB) during their traineeship in basic education schools. This
Dissertation presents the results of a study that transit between university and
basic education. At UNEB - in Jacobina, Bahia - the Letters graduation course
is responsible for the education of future professionals of Portuguese Letters,
therefore, a period of supervised traineeship is mandatory for all the students. In
this context, we carried out a research identify if and how the official documents
of the UNEB - Jacobina Letters Course guide, foster and encourage students in
training to insert Digital Information and Communication Technology (TDIC) in
their planning and teaching practice. This study also sought to a) to analyze the
presence of TDIC in the planning and in the pedagogical practice of internship
of the students of the course of Letters of the UNEB - Jacobina; b) to compare
the discourse and the pedagogical practice of the students of the discipline
UNEB - Jacobina Language Course internship regarding the importance of
using ICT in language teaching. In order to understand that relation we
employed hybrid research tools, such as document collection (Institutional
documents, the trainee’s lesson plan and pondering texts about their practice)
open interview, questionnaire, and notes about the observation of traineeship
classes. It is a qualitative research, which relies on interpretation, associated
with the field of applied linguistics. The theoretical orientation of this study is
focused on technology (Cupani, 201; Foucault, 2004), digital culture,
(CANCLINE, 1996 e 1998; SANTAELLA, 2003 e 2007), literacy and
multiliteracy (KLEIMAN, 1995; ROJO, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013) and
multimodality (QUINTANA, 2012) and (QUINTANA, SOUZA & PEREIRA,
2015). Therefore, this study has shown that, considering the regimenting
documents, there is little instruction regarding the assurance of a consistent
focus on the educational practices that incorporate the educational
technologies. By the other hand, we noticed in the trainee’s practice a high
interest on this topic, despite the flow on their education, which hinder the use
of the technological instruments on middle and Junior-High schools. Hence, we
perceived on the trainees an ability to employ in their planning and practice
methodologies that goes beyond the traditional perspective of language
teaching, despite the limitations of the curriculum and the school context.
