A utilização de recursos educacionais abertos no aprendizado de língua inglesa para o ensino fundamental II

Abstract

Nowadays, the presence of technologies is constant in our daily life. Therefore, teachers have had to adapt their teaching practices to include them in their classes, as they serve as allies in teaching-learning and are attractive for students. Therefore, this paper aims to identify activities for English language teaching available in open educational resource (OER) bank. In this sense, a survey of the activities available on the “Banco Internacional de Objetos Educacionais” website was made, as well as activities that bring recreational resources related to EL learning, available for use as OER, on the British Council Learn English website. From this survey, the objects were classified according to the level of activities and games, as well as the abilities that are primarily explored (oral comprehension, oral production, written comprehension and written production). The research to the International Bank of Educational Objects showed unsatisfactory results since the vast majority of activities were unavailable due to problems with access errors since the links were broken. As for the survey on the website of British Council Learn English, 12 games were considered, available and free, for analysis purposes. Regarding the level, 66.66% are classified as basic level, 41.66% intermediate level and 16.66% advanced level. Considering the skills of oral comprehension, oral production, written comprehension and written production, a great focus on written comprehension stands out, with 75% of the games exploring this ability and 25% exploring oral comprehension. Oral and written production skills were not found among activities.
