O uso da internet no aprendizado de inglês como língua estrangeira na região de Santa Cruz do Sul.

Abstract

This essay tackles the process of construction knowledge/subjectivity from a new paradigm – the relational one, and in so doing, it highlights the issue of learning with virtuality within the educational milieu, under a methodological/ontological perspective, which analyses cognition as the subject's capacity to learn as he/she operates in the environment around him/her, i.e, acting out as authors of their own production of knowledge. This research showed that by resorting to the Internet, as a tool able to boost knowledge/subjectivity and through practices carried out in a computer laboratory at UNISC, it is possible to construct ESL, by taking into account the identification of categories such as recursivity, interaction and autonomy, all of which were made available to the students involved in the research. The praxis trajectory allowed for a perception that education is an ever-changing and communal process, where human beings transform themselves and their lives in a coherent and congruent way, in consonance with their emotions and in rapport with their educators.
