A tarefa nos cadernos do ensino estadual de São Paulo como recurso didático no ensino de língua inglesa

Abstract

This study aims to analyse tasks presented in “Caderno do Professor” (SÃO PAULO, 2009) 1° bimestre from 6th grade” and verify if they are in accordance with the conceptions of tasks of the PCN-LE (Brasil,1998) and with the teaching of English prescribed by “Proposta Curricular-LEM” (SÃO PAULO,2008). The theoretical basis for this study is grounded on the official documents mentioned above. It is also based on conceptions of tasks by Nunan (1989), Prabhu (1987), Candlin (1987), Willis (1996), Ellis (2003), Scaramucci (1996), Barbirato (1999), Xavier (1999) and considerations about materials writing by Graves (2000), Ramos (2009) e Tomlinson (1998, 2003). The analysis showed that the tasks in “Caderno do Professor” (SÃO PAULO, 2009) 1° bimestre from 6th grade” are in accordance with the official documents in many aspects. However, it is possible to complement and adapt some tasks to improve the teaching of English in the classroom
