Banco de dados de materiais didáticos de ensino de línguas: perspectivas para a democratização do acesso e inovação

Abstract

The research aims to create a free database of teaching proposals and didactic materials for language teaching in Brazil. In this sense, it also aims to stimulate questions and provoke debates on the subject, contributing to the democratization of access to learning modern foreign linguagens (LEFFA, 2016). This work is motivated by profound personal, professional, and. academic reflections on the influences on learning and human development exerted by linguagens and cultures that blend in everyday social interactions. We know that linguistic and. cultural heritage carries within it the great potential to change paradigms in society and toenable effective changes, both social and economic, through ideas, discussions, proposals, and public policies that are possible and achievable when in concrete partnerships with different segments of society (FREIRE, 2019). The methodology, based on the concept of action research (MARLI et al, 2021) with a quantitative-qualitative approach (SOUZA and KERBAUY, 2017), is justified byaction with and in everyday life (FERRAÇO, 2007). This "everyday life," whose social inequality is explicit, is the inspiration for this work. The research is methodologically supported by the concepts of: meaningful learning (AUSUBEL, 2000), cyberculture (LÉVY, 1999), foreign language teaching and learning(LEFFA, 2016), and popular education (FREIRE, 2019). The results confirmed the existence of a demand for databases for language teaching in Brazil and enabledthe development of a prototype database on the Moodle platform and the creation of a protocol for developing databases of teaching materials for language teaching.
