O encontro de crianças com a língua estrangeira no ambiente digital : processos de viver e aprender na perspectiva da complexidade.

Abstract

This dissertation aims at investigating the processes of foreign language learning in the digital environment, having the complexity paradigm as the starting point. It unites the subjects’ emotional and cognitive dimensions who reinvent themselves when reading, in the virtual space, stories in another language which differ from their mother one, in this case, the English language. This reading, that is not disconnected from life has a self-constitutive meaning, enabling a virtualization, which from its narratives allows a recreation of the living knowing ways. To support the research, authors like Maturana and Varela (1995), Barbier (2007), Capra (2006), Damásio (2011), Lévy (2010), Moraes (2004), Morin (2011), Oliveira (1999), Pellanda (2009), among others, help me strengthen the way as a researcher and as an observer as well. This is a qualitative research, this way self-narratives and field journal are used as instruments that allow to follow the learning processes experienced in the research and also as a dada production way, besides there being possibilities for experience discussion. As a researcher I noticed having encouraged the subjects of my research, causing noise in their lives, once they were given the chance to choose in class, through the internet, three (03) stories for the Reading Program. They were also challenged when suggested to think about our journey and to write self-narratives with their perceptions in which they formed themselves through autopoiesis, even expressing their emotions and feelings regarding relation our work. In closing, I think that I have also reached my goal with the meetings at the Military School Computer Laboratory once. I have noticed the subjects’ enjoyment with the creation of a closed Facebook group.
