SUMMARY:

This dissertation aims to evaluate the contributions of interactive online worksheets as a mediating tool for English language practice, applied to 9th-grade classes in a public middle school located in Extremoz, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The theoretical framework draws on the principles of Almeida and Moran (2005) regarding active learning through digital media, Tori (2010) and Silva (2000) in the discussion of interactive environments and interactivity, and Prensky’s (2001) theory of digital natives within the perspective of digital literacy. To achieve this, a qualitative action research was conducted, involving the implementation of a didactic sequence using the interactive tool in the experimental group, while the control group followed a traditional methodology. Data collection included pre- and post-test questionnaires, participant observation, and analysis of students’ written productions. The results indicated that the use of interactive online worksheets fostered greater motivation, engagement in activities, and appreciation for digital resources; those results indicate the pedagogical potential of the tool. As a final product, an educational guide was developed with practical guidelines to help public school teachers create and apply this resource. The research contributes to the strengthening of innovative practices in English language teaching, expanding the pedagogical use of digital technologies within the context of public education.
