DIGITAL PLATAFORMS AS RESOURCES TO ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING

Abstract

The Common National Curriculum Base defends the use of diverse materials to meet students' different needs. Due to the pandemic, educational professionals were obligated to use digital platforms to adapt their methodologies to remote teaching and the student's social situations. However, online classes do not offer the same interactions that in-person classes do, making the learning and the relationship less attractive, and not being able to captivate students' attention. This way, the research has objectives to present the digital platforms as resources to stimulate and differentiate English teaching in a remote context, to reflect on the English language learning-teaching in remote classes, to comprehend what is the importance of the platform and digital literacy, and finally, to analyze the use of digital technologies in remote classes, evidencing the pros and cons. As a methodology, bibliographic research was developed with an exploratory approach where other productions were observed discussing the use of digital tools in English teaching. Therefore, the results were presented from qualitative data analysis. For theoretical contribution, it was used the works of Oliveira et al (2022), Segaty; Bailer (2020), and Belém; Guimarães (2020) that covers the inclusion of technology in the English learning context. The research has as results the use of digital platforms as interactive resources to apply in the teaching, offering a more complete, interactive, and sufficient class to students’ comprehension of the subject covered.
