“ORATIA”: A METHODOLOGY FOR DEVELOPING AND EVALUATING ORAL SKILLS IN MOBILE-ASSISTED LANGUAGE LEARNING
Mobile assisted language learning. Foreign language. Short videos. Oral Skill. Meaningful Learning
When studying a foreign language, the primary need for integration and communication is simple and immersive. However, the didactic materials (physical or digital), as well as their didactic proposals tend to give considerable focus to the reading and writing skills, aspect resulting from a teaching culture supported by the laws that directly influence this reality. As a result, it is placed in the background and in some cases unfeasible one of the most useful skills, oral. Moreover, many of these materials do not propose real contexts of use of certain content. Along with this reality, mobile technology is perceived as accessible apparatus in classrooms, making mobile-assisted language learning a consistent possibility. The present work has as its central proposal the development of a methodology, focused on mobile assisted language learning, that develops and evaluates the oral skills in foreign language classes. As a course of this research it is initially proposed to develop, apply and validate a new methodological perspective that consists in the recognition of students' daily life to create a meaningful didactic proposal, with proximal contexts that stimulate them in the constant creation of short videos, a medium that allows the recognition of aspects. orality to be evaluated, such as the movement of the vocal tract, fluency, expression and pronunciation. For this, we will use available digital pedagogical tools incorporated into the lesson plans that bring as evaluation support the short videos. For the purposes of testing and initial validation it was decided to develop the proposed practice to a limited extent in a language institute. Shortly after, at the final locus, a full-time state school, the entire methodological proposal is applied for final validation purposes, generating proximity and possibility for the context of brazilian basic education, governed by the Common National Curriculum Base - BNCC (2017). which points to the development of oral skills within the school.
