A aprendizagem significativa instaura novamente na escola uma condição fundamental de nossa busca de conhecimento. Essa condição é a do desejo, ou seja, do conhecimento como necessidade, algo que “falta ser”, que ainda não é nos termos pretendidos ou aceitos pelo sujeito. No contexto da competência relacional, isso é interessante porque o desejo instaura-se como busca e como complementaridade. A busca supõe a devoção daquele que deseja, isto é, trabalho, compromisso, responsabilidade. Complementaridade supõe sair dos limites de onde se encontra e incluir um outro todo como parte. Marías analisa essa questão no plano do jogo, como forma de ilusão. Ou seja, o que anima os adversários em um jogo é a mesma ilusão: vencer. Essa ilusão corresponde ao que se chama de “desejo com argumento”, ou seja, como falta traduzida em ações de busca, dirigidas por um objetivo ou finalidade, ações que são reguladas por essa meta a ser alcançada. Daí a dupla condição para competência relacional: desejo e devoção. Desejo como fim ou direção. Devoção como meio ou instrumento. Ou, como quer a sabedoria popular: “quem ama, cuida”.

Desejo e devoção são cognitivos e afetivos ao mesmo tempo. Cognitivos porque supõem uma formulação, uma pergunta, hipótese ou proposição. Porque supõem construção de recursos, tomadas de decisão, avaliação reguladora etc. Afetivos porque supõem um querer, supõem a atribuição de uma significação pessoal, no sentido de que algo ainda não é para um sujeito, mas “deve” ser.

A aprendizagem significativa supõe que se encontre “eco” no sujeito a quem é proposta. Daí sua vinculação com uma forma relacional de competência. A aprendizagem significativa é uma das condições defendidas por Piaget para um método pedagógico ser construtivo. Significativa porque expressa essa categoria da paixão: deixar-se, como sujeito a ser atravessado por um objeto; por isso, estar envolvido, interessado, ativo, em tudo o que corresponde a sua assimilação. Por isso, Piaget, ao menos com as crianças, era muito crítico ao que chamava de “verbalismo da sala de aula”. O verbalismo refere-se às exposições orais (explicações) para crianças sobre temas que as excluem por sua natureza formal, conceptual, adulta. A consequência disso, não raro, é a presença de crianças apáticas, desinteressadas, passivas, ou, então, agitadas, indisciplinadas e pouco cooperativas. As mesmas exposições com adultos podem ser positivas, pois esses possuem mais recursos cognitivos para relacionarem-se com essa forma de linguagem. Ou seja, um adulto, mesmo que só escutando, tem recursos de pensamento para manter um “diálogo” ativo (anota, faz associações, concorda etc.) com o assunto que está sendo exposto.

Considerando a realidade dos textos digitais e multimodais, de acordo com Roxane Rojo – mestre e doutora em Linguística Aplicada – a escola precisa “reestruturar seus processos de ensino-aprendizagem às novas configurações que se apresentam no mundo contemporâneo e globalizado e [...] tomar para si a tarefa de trabalhar com esses novos modos de ver/sentir/agir e de significar o mundo e a realidade social”.

“Em um ensino tradicional, baseado na transmissão de conteúdo, o estudante tem uma postura passiva diante dos processos de ensino e de aprendizagem, tendo a função de receber e absorver uma quantidade enorme de informações apresentadas pelo docente. Muitas vezes, não há espaço para o estudante se manifestar e se posicionar de forma crítica. Em oposição a isso, ao desenvolver práticas pedagógicas norteadas pela metodologia ativa, o estudante passa a assumir uma postura ativa, exercitando uma atitude crítica e construtiva, que fará dele um profissional melhor preparado.”

(Berbel, 2011; Souza; Iglesias; Pazin-Filho, 2014.)

Com base na citação e, ainda, considerando o desenvolvimento da autonomia e motivação dos alunos, pode-se inferir que o professor deve:

I. Usar linguagem formal.
II. Nutrir os recursos motivacionais internos.
III. Oferecer explicações racionais para o estudo de determinado conteúdo.
IV. Regulamentar o tempo e o ritmo de aprendizagem dos alunos.
V. Reconhecer e aceitar as expressões de sentimentos negativos dos alunos.

“O planejamento está previsto pela Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação (LDB – Lei nº 9.394 de 1996), como sendo ‘responsabilidade da instituição de ensino, junto com seu corpo docente, que, por sua vez, tem como incumbência não só ministrar os dias letivos e horas-aula estabelecidas, mas também participar de forma integral dos períodos dedicados ao planejamento, além de participar da elaboração da proposta pedagógica do estabelecimento de ensino a qual ele pertença’.”

(BRASIL, 1996, P. 6.)

Acerca do exposto e, ainda, considerando dois importantes documentos de planejamento escolar: o Projeto Político- -Pedagógico (PPP) e a Proposta Pedagógica Curricular (PPC), analise as premissas que tratam da relação entre ambos.

I. O PPP norteia o trabalho educativo proposto pela instituição de ensino como um todo, trazendo, no seu marco operacional, a PPC que expressa a forma como as concepções assumidas coletivamente serão efetivadas na prática pedagógica.
II. A PPC expressa os fundamentos conceituais, metodológicos e avaliativos de cada componente curricular ou área do conhecimento, elencados na matriz curricular. O PPP estabelece diretrizes básicas de funcionamento e de organização da escola, sempre integradas às normas comuns da rede ou do sistema a que pertence e do sistema nacional.
III. A base para a elaboração da PPC é a matriz curricular, com sua parte de Base Nacional Comum e de Parte Diversificada e/ou Flexível. O PPP tem, em sua estrutura, os encaminhamentos metodológicos, os recursos didáticos, os instrumentos e os critérios de avaliação docentes.

Using Podcasts in World Language Classes


(Elena Spathis; September 03/2021.)


    In a sense, language teachers act as tour guides as we lead our students through the unfamiliar territory that is a new language. Over the course of this cultural and linguistic journey, we hope to witness them as they grow into culturally competent communicators. Therefore, we must ensure that they have ample opportunities to practice listening, speaking, reading, and writing in the target language throughout the school year. Each year, my students consistently share that they find listening comprehension tasks to be the most difficult and nerve-racking. Without a doubt, listening to native speakers use the language at a fast pace can be daunting for language learners of all ages. To help build my students’ listening skills as well as their cultural awareness, I strive to expose them to a wide range of culturally rich songs, videos, and audio clips. Repeated practice improves their skills and builds their confidence.

    With the rise in popularity of audiobooks and podcasts over the past few years, I suddenly thought to myself, why not integrate podcasts into my classes? Rather than repeatedly playing quick audio clips for my students, I felt that a podcast could tell a compelling story. This was likely to immediately engage them and hopefully could make listening to the target language a bit less overwhelming. I found myself exploring the award-winning Radio Ambulante by NPR, despite the fact that it was not a traditional language-learning podcast. Upon browsing the multitude of culturally focused podcasts on the site, I noticed that they aligned well with my units. Many of the episodes focused on immigration experiences, while others discussed environmental challenges or global issues. When using any podcast, I focus on designing pre-listening, while- -listening, and post-listening activities for students to complete. Here are some key steps for incorporating podcasts. 

1. Preview the material. Prior to listening to the podcast, I present students with the title and theme of the episode and ask them to share what they know about the particular topic. I also have them make predictions in pairs as to what the podcast might address. This sets them up for success once they start listening.

2. Encourage active listening. While students listen to each podcast section, I provide them with cloze-style activities or a series of open-ended comprehension questions, students need to fill in the blanks with missing words; you can have them focus on verbs, nouns, adjectives, or a mix. I often have them participate in think-pair-share activities and ask them to share their responses with a partner. Sometimes I simply ask them to share what they’ve understood in the target language aloud.

3. Finish with reflection. Upon listening to the entirety of the podcast, I lead a whole-class discussion in which we collectively talk about the highlights and takeaways. While improving students’ listening skills is at the forefront, podcasts also allow for a wide range of speaking and writing tasks. If you are looking for podcast options take a look at an article in Afar magazine called “15 Best Podcasts toHelp You Master a New Language”, which is broken down by proficiency level and language. Instead of treating listening comprehension as a drill, we can take a more creative and engaging approach by exploring world-language podcasts.

America could soon face a wave of single moms being evicted


(By Lauren Sandler; may 28/2021.)


    Itwill be the true measure of our society and the predictor of our future: Whenever the CDC moratorium on evictions expires – which it’s set to do next month — millions of people could find themselves homeless. And perhaps most heavily represented among those millions are single mothers and their kids. These mothers are not numbers, they are people. People with names and narratives, with passions and ambitions. Data can tell us who is unemployed, who is on welfare, who is at risk for eviction, who is homeless. Data is an aggregate of lives distilled into cold figures, devoid of humanity. And yet the statistics of this pandemic year tell a staggering story. Women’s labor force participation has dropped to 57% since the pandemic began, and of all groups of parents, single moms have seen the biggest drop in the proportion who are employed. The service industry, a sector largely made up of women of color, shed more jobs than any other sector. Pandemic life – with massive unemployment, zoom schooling and social isolation — has brutalized no group as direly as the single mothers raising 15.76 million children. Lost jobs mean no money for rent, at least with our miserly welfare system. It didn’t have to be this way. It still doesn’t. For decades, researchers from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to Harvard have shown that vouchers providing rent payment are the most effective form of homelessness-prevention intervention. Families who receive vouchers are not only less likely to experience housing instability, they’re also less likely to need foster care. And they’re considerably less likely to experience domestic violence: four times as many housing-insecure women report abuse compared to those with greater stability. Despite all this, Section 8 program, which provides housing assistance to families, is severely underfunded. We are defined by who we deem worthy of investment, as an economy as well as an ethical society. Today we are failing ourselves on both counts.

And they’re considerably less likely to experience domestic violence: four times as many housing-insecure women report abuse compared to those with greater stability. Despite all this, Section 8 program, which provides housing assistance to families, is severely underfunded. We are defined by who we deem worthy of investment, as an economy as well as an ethical society. Today we are failing ourselves on both counts.

America could soon face a wave of single moms being evicted


(By Lauren Sandler; may 28/2021.)


    Itwill be the true measure of our society and the predictor of our future: Whenever the CDC moratorium on evictions expires – which it’s set to do next month — millions of people could find themselves homeless. And perhaps most heavily represented among those millions are single mothers and their kids. These mothers are not numbers, they are people. People with names and narratives, with passions and ambitions. Data can tell us who is unemployed, who is on welfare, who is at risk for eviction, who is homeless. Data is an aggregate of lives distilled into cold figures, devoid of humanity. And yet the statistics of this pandemic year tell a staggering story. Women’s labor force participation has dropped to 57% since the pandemic began, and of all groups of parents, single moms have seen the biggest drop in the proportion who are employed. The service industry, a sector largely made up of women of color, shed more jobs than any other sector. Pandemic life – with massive unemployment, zoom schooling and social isolation — has brutalized no group as direly as the single mothers raising 15.76 million children. Lost jobs mean no money for rent, at least with our miserly welfare system. It didn’t have to be this way. It still doesn’t. For decades, researchers from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to Harvard have shown that vouchers providing rent payment are the most effective form of homelessness-prevention intervention. Families who receive vouchers are not only less likely to experience housing instability, they’re also less likely to need foster care. And they’re considerably less likely to experience domestic violence: four times as many housing-insecure women report abuse compared to those with greater stability.

Public policies for English teaching, an overview of Brazilian public network experience


    Next year, 2020, English teaching will become compulsory in public schools in Brazil. The government has recognised that, if it wants to have a world class economy that can negotiate internationally, having a greater percentage of people who can operate in English is an essential requirement, not a luxury. A study carried out by Move Social exclusively for the British Council, the first comprehensive analysis of how Brazilian states are creating a basis for compulsory teaching and learning of English has been issued. The study is supplemented by analyses and reflections by professionals from the area of education and English language teaching, and also describes some inspirational practices. As was to be expected, the results show great variations in the states’ level of preparation, even though a considerable amount of work has been done in developing curricula to comply with the Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) [Commom National Curricular Base]. There is also an important analysis of the positioning in state documents about a focus on traditional grammar versus essential communication skills for the 21st century listed in the BNCC.

    According to the survey Demandas de Aprendizagem de Inglês no Brasil [Demand for English Learning in Brazil, British Council, 2013], only 5.1 per cent of the population aged 16 or more claim to have some knowledge of English. This claim, however, is more a question of perception and does not necessarily translate into actual knowledge of the language. Among the younger people, aged from 18 to 24 — who have completed or are about to complete their secondary education — the number claiming to speak English doubles to 10.3 per cent. Even so, this is a low percentage if we consider that most Brazilian students spend at least seven years studying English at school – more specifically, from the sixth grade of lower secondary education to the third grade of upper secondary education, for an average of two hours a week. There are also students who take English lessons at private language institutions or on courses offered before or after class by the public networks themselves. If we want to disrupt this conflicting situation and offer quality English teaching for all as part of the basic curriculum, we have to understand what it is during their time at school that determines whether or not they learn the language properly.

Gerunds are words that are formed with verbs but act as nouns. Present participles do not act as nouns. Instead, they act as modifiers or verbs. Analyse the use of the underlined ING forms in the text and mark the one that is a modifier.

What is education beyond borders all about?


The concept of education in the twenty-first century has outgrown its twentieth-century meaning. It is time to move beyond measures of disparity by race, ethnicity, and gender to education beyond borders. Education takes place in conditions ranging from a one room, rural classroom with one teacher instructing students in many grades to individual students tapping into distance learning all over the world beyond physical borders. Degrees, credentials, and certifications connote a measure of formal education and organizations. For the twenty- -first century, however, education is not necessarily synonymous with credits earned toward some finite degree or credential. Rather, ongoing learning and the sharing/creation of knowledge are lifelong processes for individuals and organizations. Increasingly innovation, and creative productive capital demand a multidisciplinary approach. This is not to say that there is no longer a role for formal education but to acknowledge the value of ongoing informal education and shared knowledge, especially performance-based knowledge and team work.
