| dc.description.abstract | The use of Project-Based-Learning (PBL) has been studied in different learning
contexts, however, there are still few studies available that focus on the use of this
approach in the context of private English classes. Thus, this study aims to analyze
the pedagogical practices in a specific context of English as an Additional Language
(AL) and reflect on the benefits of the union of PBL and English teaching in contexts
of private lessons. To support the analysis, a theoretical background for project based teaching in English language classes is presented. This study also presents
alignments to Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC, 2017), a Brazilian document
designed to guide the work of teachers in regular schools in Brazil, the goal is to
present possibilities of how this document can be used to assist the work of teachers
of AL in the context of private lessons. For the analysis of this study, a structured
project for private English lessons is presented. From the perspective of teaching
English as a social practice (SCHLATTER AND GARCEZ, 2012), and English as a
lingua franca (BNCC, 2017), the study of this project explains the benefits of using
PBL in the contexts of private English classes, highlighting important learning
opportunities. This study seeks to contribute to teachers interested in teaching
through projects and teachers who work in the context of private classes, so
instruments and teaching materials prepared for the project analyzed in this study are
left available. | en |
