AFFORDANCES OF THE PROTOTYPE “TEACHING ENGLISH TO TEACHERS”: CONTRIBUTIONS FROM SOCIAL JUSTICE PERSPECTIVE, ANTIRACIST EDUCATION AND THE WEB CURRICULUM TO ENGLISH CLASSES IN TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAMS

Abstract

In this perspective, this article aims to present the affordances perceived by the researcher-authors and teachers in training during the implementation of a prototype produced for the English language classes of an English language course based on the principles of social justice. The research is qualitative of interpretative nature and the data collected in the implementation with English language students are analyzed through the concept of affordances (VAN LIER, 2000VAN LIER, L. From input to affordance: Social-interactive learning from an ecological perspective. In: LANTOLF, J. P. (Ed.). Sociocultural theory and second language learning: Recent advances. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2000.p. 245-259.; EL KADRI, 2018EL KADRI, A. Affordances percebidas do Teletandem na/para formação de professores de língua inglesa. 2018. 117 f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Estudos da Linguagem) – Universidade Estadual de Londrina, Londrina, 2018.). The results show that the participants identify as affordance the reflection on the subjects discussed, the questioning of oppressive relations in society, the feeling of motivation to fight against discrimination and racism, the learning of technological tools, and the use of new technologies in a reflexive and creative way.
