Narrativas multimodais no ensino da língua inglesa

Abstract

This paper presents a research carried out in the classroom, focusing on the process of building multimodal narratives in teaching English to elementary students in a public school. The experiment was conducted in the second semester of 2012, with students in 8th grade in Restinga Seca, RS. Having as theoretical support studies from Menezes (2010), Ohler (2008) e Prenskey (2012), about digital narratives, this paper discusses the process of building multimodal narratives in the production process of language skills such as writing and speaking skills in teaching and learning of English as a foreign language. This experience report emphasizes the importance of using multimodal narratives with methodological resource for classes of English as a Foreign Language. Thus, the use of multimodal narratives emerges as an alternative to monitor the performance of writing and speaking skills of the student through the development of about digital narratives, as a teaching tool combined with English language learning.
