Resumo
Technology, such as computers, video games and the internet, have always drawn my attention since I was teenager. Although I am from the generation in which these pieces of technology were evolving and were a far cry from what they are today, they played a big role in my life. They were part of my reality in many ways: if I needed to interact with friends, I could use the old chat programs or send an email. If any information was necessary, I could use the first search engines available in late nineties and early 2000s. If I wanted to play a game, I could use my pc or a video game console. All the content was in English. I guess one of the reasons why I was fascinated by the language is the fact that it was the “ vehicle” through which I could obtain information about the topics I loved and still like very much or play the video games I liked. Thus, I felt motivated to learn English, because I saw some sense and purpose in learning the language. It was the only way I could understand a world that was surrounding me, and was part of my reality. In a nutshell, I felt motivated to do so, as it was meaningful to me.
