ABSTRACT This paper proposes to critically read the multiliteracies proposal through a decolonial lens. It has two fundamental aspects: one, of an epistemic nature, refers to the need to de-link the concept from a particular hegemonic scholarship so that local knowledge production may prevent literacy practices from universalisms and methodologization; the other, of a technological nature, refers to the need to de-link the concept of multiliteracies from its apparent subjection to the digital.

ABSTRACT This duoethnographic study addresses some of the conflicts that two academics in a public Brazilian University have experienced during pandemic times. As they engage in conversations prompted by their own narratives exchanged online during the first weeks of quarantine, they start theorizing on some emerging topics that, for them, needed to be critically examined and, eventually, ressignified. In this sense, this article discusses the role of agency in their academic and personal lives and how it was engendered during such complex and unpredictable times, drawing special attention to questions of collectivity and diversity. Furthermore, the present work examines questions of identity and the neoliberal subjectivities that also emerged through this extremely rich collaborative experience, leading, therefore to risky and truthful subjectification processes on the part of the authors.

ABSTRACT The aim of this article is to discuss teachers’ perspectives on how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the teaching of English to young learners (TEYL). We focused on one specific question (from a 10-question online questionnaire) in which participants shared their thoughts, experiences and concerns about TEYL in pandemic times. The answers were analyzed in a qualitative perspective, based on critical literacy research and studies in the field of TEYL. The results indicate the participants’ exhaustion due to dealing with unusual situations, and teaching focused exclusively on content in an attempt to show how teachers are reinventing themselves despite uncertainties and lack of training. The present moment requires reflections about goals and expectations in TEYL and in teacher education.

ABSTRACT This paper looks into specific cases related to the authors’ personal reflections and experiences with internationalization. They are analyzed from a decolonial perspective, taking into account the specificities of Brazilian public education. The thematic categories of analysis were: (1) the social aim/function of higher education, (2) the impact of internationalization processes on higher education, and (3) the myth of a universal language/planetary unity. It is paramount, especially in times of emergency like ours, that we reflect on the formative, social and political role of universities to respond to ontoepistemological crises such as the one we are immersed in at the moment.

RESUMO Há pouco tempo, o papel das emoções na vida docente, bem como seu impacto na sala de aula de línguas, foi amplamente negligenciado (BENESCH, 2012). Após o advento da “virada afetiva”, o campo da Linguística Aplicada (LA) começou a contemplar estudos sobre emoções (BARCELOS, 2015; PAVLENKO, 2013). Recentemente, a vertente crítica das emoções buscou discutir as relações de ideologia e poder em sua constituição, enfatizando seus aspectos sociais, culturais e políticos (ZEMBYLAS, 2003, 2005). Assim, embasado nas concepções críticas para o ensino de línguas e emoções, buscamos neste estudo de caso discutir como as emoções de uma professora de Inglês de escola pública são formadas, e quais são os fatores que as constituem. Para tanto, analisamos narrativas da professora-participante, que construíram categorias compostas por emoções variadas, tais como: satisfação, medo, insegurança e esperança. Concluímos que a opção pelo ensino crítico de línguas despertou emoções na professora que geram resistência e contestação aos discursos dominantes.

RESUMO Este trabalho analisa as representações dos licenciandos em Letras que fizeram parte do Programa de Integração Estudantil (PROINTE) - Inglês sobre as motivações para participação no programa, as experiências significativas ali vivenciadas, as oportunidades de aprendizagem docente e a consolidação (ou não) pela profissão ao atuarem no referido contexto. As discussões estão pautadas em estudos sobre aprendizagem e identidade docente (JOHNSON, 2009; REIS; van VEEN; GIMENEZ, 2011, dentre outros) além de bases de conhecimento (SHULMAN, 1986; TARDIF, 2000). Os dados foram gerados por meio da aplicação de questionário a oito participantes entre 2016 e 2018. Os resultados apontam o contexto do PROINTE como relevante para a aprendizagem dos envolvidos, além de ressaltar que a experiência ali vivenciada consolidou a escolha pela profissão.

ABSTRACT Telecollaboration involves the use of online technologies in the context of language teaching and learning (O’DOWD, 2013). This study sought to understand how the co-construction of interculturality took place in a specific telecollaborative context - teletandem (TELLES; VASSALLO, 2006; TELLES, 2015a, 2015b). For the analysis, data from a teletandem session, a mediation session, an experience report and an interview were included. From an ecological perspective (VAN LIER, 2004; KRAMSCH; STEFFENSEN, 2008), the outcomes showed that the co-construction of interculturality was a process, that is, it occurred over time and through different instances. Put differently, instances subsequent to the teletandem session, e.g. the mediation session and the experience report, were essential for this co-construction.

RESUMO Neste artigo buscamos refletir sobre a Gamificação enquanto recurso mediacional ou estratégia pedagógica no ensino de línguas estrangeiras e na formação de professores de línguas, discorrendo sobre o conceito, apresentando alguns elementos de jogos e trazendo alguns dos princípios de aprendizagem inerentes a bons jogos (GEE, 2003), articulando teorias do campo da linguagem, da Psicologia e Design de jogos. Ilustramos a discussão com um sistema gamificado elaborado para uma disciplina de pós-graduação na área de Linguística Aplicada e verificamos se e como os professores participantes da disciplina se apropriaram do conceito e o utilizaram em suas aulas, via suas produções acadêmicas envolvendo o tema. Problematizamos a utilização de um modelo raso de gamificação, baseado em uma visão meramente comportamentalista, skinneriana, defendendo que é necessário que os professores tenham um certo grau de letramento em jogos, tanto para trabalhar com jogos como para gamificar.

ABSTRACT Based on the assumption that video game localization inevitably has levels of collaboration among their agents, forming a collaborative continuum that involves localization managers, translators, localization coordinators, and linguistic testers, who directly or indirectly influence the game to be localized, game localization teaching can also adopt a collaborative approach, dynamically promoting experience exchanges between translation teachers and students, and other collaborators. Accordingly, this paper, conceived as a didactic proposal of qualitative and naturalistic bias (GILE, 2009; CHESTERMAN; WILLIAMS, 2002), describes possibilities for incorporating video game localization in translation teaching using a collaborative pedagogical approach (KIRALY, 2000).
