Dissertação (Mestrado em Letras e Linguística) - Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, 2013http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/tede/handle/tede/3077Motivated by a personal need to improve my knowledge on children teaching practices, I conducted this research in a language school in Goiânia. This research was developed in a group under my responsibility with children aged 7-8 years. The general goal of this study is to comprehend at what extend the storytelling activity as well as other ludic activities contribute to a foreign language learning process. More specifically, this study aims to investigate (i) the role of pair-wise collaboration among children in storytelling activities; (ii) the strategies developed by children during their story-telling interaction as well as in other ludic activities and their function and (iii) if storytelling activity can elicit clues about the development of children’s autonomy to search for other sources of reading. To achieve these objectives, this study is oriented by an ethnographic qualitative approach and by the Vygostskian sociocultural studies about the process of teaching and learning a language. The results have shown that collaborative pair work using ludic activities as storytelling, domino, role play, and memory games can be a pedagogic tool in a foreign language classroom.application/pdfAcesso AbertoCriançasHistórias infantisInteraçãoEnsino de inglêsEstratégiasAutonomiaChildrenChildren storiesInteractionEnglish learningStrategiesAutonomyLINGUISTICA, LETRAS E ARTES::LINGUISTICADissertação
