TEACHING ENGLISH FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES: CREATING AN ONLINE TASK IN LIGHT OF THE COMPLEXITY THEORY Maria Eugenia Witzler D’Esposito and Gisele de Oliveira, GPeAHF, LAEL - PUC-SP, FEFISO/ACM Sorocaba; Andréa Braga Cazerta de Souza, LAEL-PUCSP/CNPq, Brazil This paper shares the
experience lived by three teachers/researchers who faced the
challenge of designing a task to prepare high school students to
face job interviews in English. The task, designed in light of the
complexity theory, considered a hybrid environment, using free tools
available on the Internet: wiki and forums. The theory of complexity
(Morin, 2004, 2005, 2008), methodology of projects (Behrens, 2006),
instructional design (Driscoll, 1998; Berge, Collins, & Dougherty,
2000; Abbey, 2000, among others), and English for specific purposes
(Hutchinson & Waters, 1987; Brindley, 1989) support the task and
this study. |
