Aquecimento global: TDICs, cidadania e ampliação de repertório vocabular em língua inglesa

Abstract

In general, teachers dedicate too much time to grammar when teaching a foreign language, relegating vocabulary to the background. Therefore, the main purpose of this project is to increase the possibilities of acquiring and expanding the vocabulary repertoire of high school students through digital technologies. Global Warming: ICTDs for raising awareness and expanding vocabulary repertoire in English intends to encourage students to research, read, and be able to select information and critically assess the quality and relevance of what is in online texts, sharing information with peers which promotes cooperative learning. Rubrics will be used to obtain precise and transparent assessment indicators, by the students self-assessing their involvement and participation during project execution. To conclude from the discussions and readings, the students will produce a post that will be presented to the class, and it will be published on social media. The proposed activities will include skills such as reading, analyzing, explaining, interpreting, commenting, preparing an oral presentation, as well as properly using digital technologies in specific social practices.
