O ensino de língua inglesa por meio do gênero notícia

Abstract

The sub-project ‘Language and Literature’ (2014-2017), performed by the scholarship students of the ‘Language Teaching and Literature’ course from the Federal University of Goiás, Jataí Unit, has the following objectives: (1) To offer a dynamic and different way of teaching English Language to the students of the partner school, Marcondes de Godoy. (2) To provide the scholarship students the daily contact with the public schools context throughout the under-graduation course. In order to achieve these goals, the scholarship students give workshops, offer monitoring programs, provide support to the teachers, organize cultural events, elaborate the monthly news board and take part of scientific events. In this article, we present the results obtained from the application of the workshop ‘Teaching English through the genre News’, given to the third grade of High School. The National Curriculum Standards suggest a model of English teaching through genres, for by means of reading different textual genres, the student can take ownership of the target language, both its morphosyntactic and sociocultural aspects. The scholarship students, based on the National Curriculum Standards, tried to contextualize the English teaching using genuine news in English language.
