Conteúdos audiovisuais no ensino de língua Inglesa através do YouTube

Abstract

The thesis analyzes two contexts of audiovisual content in English language teaching through YouTube. Its general objective is to analyze the audiovisual content produced for the teaching of the English language by Brazilian teachers/producers on two YouTube channels. Based on this general objective, three specific objectives were defined that guided the research: 1) To analyze the videos published by a Brazilian educator/producer, observing the outreach strategies and the contents included; 2) Recognize and characterize the technical, narrative and pedagogical audiovisual strategies implemented for the teaching of the English language by the Brazilian educator who produces content; 3) Analyze the dialogical dynamics produced around the videos, between the users of the social network and the Brazilian educator who produces the content. In order to meet the aforementioned objectives, we use as theoretical contributions concepts and foundations of digital technologies in education, audiovisual potential in the acquisition and learning of the English language, YouTube and social networks in education, teaching methodology of English language, Language Teaching and Bilingual Education. The method used was qualitative, descriptive and analytical, and the method adopted for data analysis was Content Analysis. Two YouTube channels were chosen: BBlíngue, which aims to show how a teacher and communication specialist couple raise the bilingual daughter. The family is Brazilian and lives in Brazil, however they decided to speak only English with the child; English in Brazil, which aims to teach the English language. The first channel focuses on acquisition and the second on English Language learning as a second language. In both channels, five videos were analyzed technical, pedagogical and descriptively. With this route, the research concluded that audiovisual content in English teaching through YouTube sets precedents for thinking theoreticall and methodologically about the production and sharing of videos to mitigate the reasons why LI teaching is precarious in Brazil.
