Aula de inglês com literatura: impactos do Pibid pela perspectiva de docentes

Abstract

Literature has a range of potentials in the formation of individuals, including selfdiscovery and development as a person, as well as a sense of citizenship, awakening them as members of a society. Not only that, literature has benefited from teaching in schools, in the teaching of the mother tongue, and it can also be used in the foreign language classes. In this sense, the purpose of this work was to analyze, through bibliographical review and from the teachers' perspective, the impacts of using literature in the English teaching through Pibid. The theoretical reference specifically on the use of literary texts for the teaching of foreign languages was based, in particular, on Hismanoglu (2005) and Maley (2005), among others. A qualitative research was carried out, involving three subjects, public school teachers who had received pibidians in their classes to teach English with literary texts. The data collection was performed through a questionnaire, interview and complementary conversations. It was found, from the subjects' perspective, that in the classes enefited by the program, this approach using literature aroused better motivation in the students, in relation to the subject and, consequently, to learn the language. It also motivated the teachers themselves to teach the English language through literary texts in order to provoke students' interest and meet their needs.
