Drawing upon multiple sources of data including the chat transcript, screen recording of the session, and final revised version of the writer’s text, this case study explores the types and frequency of the suggestion strategies employed by a tutor and the degree of writer uptake of tutor suggestions in a synchronous online writing center session. The findings indicate that the tutor’s use of suggestions throughout the session only led to a partial revision of the writer’s text. While factors contributing to the partial revision include overuse of indirect suggestion linguistic realization strategies (SLRSs) and addressing multiple errors at the same time, using multiple and more direct SLRSs appeared to contribute to successful uptake. The observations of the study suggest that, in order to increase the degree of...

Under Brazilian federal law, English is a mandatory curricular requirement for all, including indigenous students. This paper analyzes contributions relevant to the decolonization of English teaching in indigenous contexts from postcolonial theories on education, perspectives on decolonized ELT, and sociocultural learning theory. An argument is made for the development of ELT curricula and methodology in collaboration with indigenous teachers, in order to prioritize their communities, cultures, and traditional knowledge.

Tal experiencia ocorreu na disciplina de “ Topicos I: Ensino e Valorizacao da Diversidade”, do Programa de Pos-Graduacao em Ensino de Lingua e Literatura (PPGL) da Universidade Federal do Tocantins - UFT. Este escrito partiu das observacoes de todos os estudantes da referida disciplina e objetivou refletir sobre questoes etnico-raciais e de genero numa perspectiva humanista. A metodologia aqui utilizada foi a analise do referido filme em relacao a bibliografia estudada. Os resultados demonstram a riqueza dos filmes enquanto mecanismos geradores de pensamentos criticos para a educacao superior.

This study examined the effect of simple ̶ complex task sequencing manipulated along both resource-directing (± number of elements) and resource-dispersing (± planning time) factors on L2 writing compared to individual task performance using Robinson’s (2010) SSARC model of task sequencing. Upper-intermediate L2 learners (N = 90) were randomly divided into two groups: (1) Participants who performed three writing tasks in a simple–complex sequence, and (2) participants who performed either the simple, less complex, or complex task. Findings revealed that simple-complex task sequencing led to increases in syntactic complexity, accuracy, lexical complexity, and fluency, as compared to individual task performance. Results are discussed in light of the SSARC model, and theoretical and ped...

Este artigo investiga a concepção e os métodos dos currículos de English language teaching (ELT) no contexto da educação in-dígena brasileira. Pela lei federal brasileira, o inglês é um requisito curricu-lar obrigatório para todos, incluindo os estudantes indígenas. Este artigo analisa as contribuições relevantes para a decolonização do ensino de in-glês em contextos indígenas a partir de teorias pós-coloniais em educação, perspectivas sobre ELT decolonizado e teoria sociocultural da aprendiza-gem. Uma argumentação é feita para o desenvolvimento de currículos e de metodologias de ELT em colaboração com professores indígenas, a fim de priorizar suas comunidades, culturas e saberes tradicionais. Palavras-chave: Educação pós-colonial. Subalternidade. Educação Indígena. Ensino Decolonizado de Língua Inglesa.

Tal experiência ocorreu na disciplina de “Tópicos I: Ensino e Valorização da Diversidade”, do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ensino de Língua e Literatura (PPGL) da Universidade Federal do Tocantins - UFT. Este escrito partiu das observações de todos os estudantes da referida disciplina e objetivou refletir sobre questões étnico-raciais e de gênero numa perspectiva humanista. A metodologia aqui utilizada foi a análise do referido filme em relação à bibliografia estudada. Os resultados demonstram a riqueza dos filmes enquanto mecanismos geradores de pensamentos críticos para a educação superior.

It presents a qualitative analysis of this significant work of art and its aesthetic and critical particularities, through the use of bibliographic references that dialogue with the area of art. The results of this paper show that artwork today is not restricted to more developed countries, but also includes developing countries, thus revealing unique aesthetic-socio-cultural facets of, and thus enriching thoughts about, contemporary art today.
