Diagnóstico do perfil do ensino de inglês nas escolas públicas do ensino médio de Catalão: desafios e perspectivas

Resumo

Catalão has seven centers for teaching languages. These numbers raise a question: why is there so much demand for English language courses in the city? What this scenario has to say about the teaching of English in the public schools? What this seems to point is that public schools in Catalão, like at the national level, cannot meet the demand for skilled labor related to the field of English language. In an attempt to find solutions at the state level to the difficulty of the national public network to provide a quality education for English Language, the government of Goiás, which for more than a decade had failed to send the English language textbook for schools back to take such action since January 2012. But what is the impact of the (re) introduction of English language textbook on the teaching of this discipline in the public schools of Catalão? We believe that the teaching of English in Catalão public schools happens so disconnected from new technologies and other languages that suggests the textbook. Teachers, for the most part, do not implement these technologies into their teaching practices, making this education (in the eyes of a digital youth) distant from their reality, and the current proposal of the national curriculum. We aim thus to diagnose the impact of (re) introduction of English language textbook on the teaching of this subject in the third year of high school in Catalão public schools. During the research it was found the availability of educational technology in schools suggested by the textbook; we also investigate how the training of teachers is linked to the use of the English language textbook, and it was observed the placement of the student facing the discipline of English studies now with the textbook.
