Inglês, língua materna e informática na educação infantil: um esforço pela didática interdisciplinar

Abstract

This work investigates the strategies to integrate three areas of knowledge - English as a second language, first language acquisition and information technology in preschool education, in order to improve the linguistic skills of the multicognoscenti children. The collaborative group, based on the Action Research methodology, was formed by the teachers of knowledge areas mentioned above and it worked with three classes of students from the last grade of preschool in a private school in Santa Maria. The activities were developed after the teachers-researchers' planning that shared experiencies and the theoretical material about first language writing and reading acquisition, second language learning, bilingualism, uses of computers in education and collaborative teaching. The delimitation of speaking, writing and culture in mother tongue and English, the increasing of teachers and students' motivation, the exchanding of information, the reflexive attitudes and an integrated theory - practice among teachers were positive factors from this work.
