Este projeto está inserido no âmbito da Linguística Aplicada e tem como objetivo investigar o papel do Skype em Smartphones e Personal Computers como uma mídia alternativa para o ensino de Inglês para alunos com deficiência visual. Este estudo foi realizado dentro da Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná (UTFPR) no projeto English for Us oferecido pelo Departamento Acadêmico de Línguas Estrangeiras – DALEM. Para que a pesquisa fosse desenvolvida, uma entrevista foi aplicada à estes alunos. Após essa etapa, os aprendizes tiveram aulas de inglês por meio do Skype, e em seguida foram entrevistados para obtermos uma avaliação do processo. A pesquisa foi conduzida com uma fundamentação teórica dos conceitos de Letramento Digital (Lankshear; Knobel, 2005), Letramento Móvel (WEST ; VOSLOO, 2013), Disontogêneses (Vygotsky, 1993 apud RODINA 2006), e Tecnologias Assistivas (Kelly; Smith, 2011). No final do projeto, pudemos observar que Tecnologia de Informação e Comunicação (TIC), como o Skype, pode e deve ser utilizada como uma ferramenta para o ensino de inglês para pessoas com deficiência visual. 2020-11-11T18:35:25Z 2020-11-11T18:35:25Z 2017-06-19 bachelorThesis OLIVEIRA, Larissa Xavier.
