FrancoClic on-line: compreendendo o modelo pedagógico do curso Reflets-Brésil

Abstract

My aim in this work is to analyze the pedagogic model of the French language course Reflets- Bresil, developed by governmental site Francoclic, regarding the application of new technologies. This research assumes that there is a transposition of traditional teaching models and poor use of the resources offered by virtual environment. I have investigated how the underlying teaching and learning conceptions relates to each other; as well as how the relation between techniques and the teaching and learning conceptions is established. I founded my studies theorically, mainly, upon language conceptions. (SAUSSURE, 1999; CHOMSKY, 1976; VYGOTSKY, 1991; DIK, 1978; HALLIDAY,1994), language teaching and learning references (ALMEIDA FILHO,1993; HYMES,1971,1972,1991; RICHARDS; RODGERS, 1994) new technologies (WARSCHAUER; KERN, 2000; PAIVA,2001; BUZATO, 2001; KHAN; VEGA, 1997 among others) pedagogic models in Distant Education (BEHAR, 2005,2006, 2009).Some points relating to on-line evaluation (PRIMO, 2006; PALLOFF; PRATT, 2004), autonomy (PAIVA, 2006; DICKINSON, 1987) and learners and learning s styles (TAPSCOTT, 2010; PALLOFF; PRATT, 2004) also guided my investigation For my study I have adopted interpretativist paradigm, I put myself in the course learner role, doing the lessons proposed, and using diaries and analysis matrices ,elaborated by myself, in order to record my impressions and collect elements of the course pedagogic model. The main results reveal a pedagogic model grounded in structuralists language teaching and learning conceptions. A teaching based on behavior manipulation. The resources available are used to grab learners attention, and arouse their good willing to respond to stimulus, in other words, to develop the proposed activities. Ultimately, it is a pedagogic model centered on course, without interaction and space for developing collectively the communicative competence, which opposes the reference documents, idealized by governmental institutions of education, for the language teaching purposes. Results confirms, my initial hypothesis concerning the approach transposition of traditional teaching learning to virtual learning environment.
