Technology in Language Education: Benefits and Barriers

Tecnologia na Educação de Línguas: Benefícios e Barreiras

A variety of e-learning technologies are available for use in educational programs. In many parts of the world, education ministries and universities have invested much effort into increasing the use of the web in all its forms (for example, e-books, simulations, text messaging, podcasting. wikis, and blogs) to meet the demands of competitive markets and to bring a variety of learning choices to their learners. It has been reported that the advent of new technology has a positive influence on both learners and teachers (Mansor 2001).

Uma variedade de tecnologias de e-learning estão disponíveis para uso em programas educacionais. Em muitas partes do mundo, ministérios da educação e universidades têm investido muito esforço para aumentar o uso da web em todas as suas formas (por exemplo, e-books, simulações, mensagens de texto, podcasting, wikis e blogs) para atender às demandas de mercados competitivos e trazer uma variedade de escolhas de aprendizagem para seus alunos. Foi relatado que o advento de novas tecnologias tem uma influência positiva tanto nos alunos quanto nos professores (Mansor 2001).

Researchers (Friggard 2002; Miner 2004; Timucin 2006) have demonstrated that technology boosts the development of teaching methods as well as students' knowledge. Lam and Lawrence (2002) claim that technology provides learners with regulation of their own learning process and easy access to information the teacher may not be able to provide. The potentially positive side of incorporating technology has encouraged foreign language educators to apply its advantages to enhance pedagogical practices. However, the integration of technology in the classroom cannot be devoid of problems. Several studies have documented the advantages of technology for language learning. While the advantages of technology use are often reported, it would be naive to expect technology use to transform language teaching or learning without first encountering and overcoming some barriers.

Pesquisadores (Friggard 2002; Miner 2004; Timucin 2006) demonstraram que a tecnologia impulsiona o desenvolvimento de métodos de ensino, bem como o conhecimento dos alunos. Lam e Lawrence (2002) afirmam que a tecnologia fornece aos alunos a regulação de seu próprio processo de aprendizagem e acesso fácil a informações que o professor pode não ser capaz de fornecer. O lado potencialmente positivo da incorporação da tecnologia encorajou os educadores de línguas estrangeiras a aplicar suas vantagens para aprimorar as práticas pedagógicas. No entanto, a integração da tecnologia na sala de aula não pode ser isenta de problemas. Vários estudos documentaram as vantagens da tecnologia para o aprendizado de línguas. Embora as vantagens do uso da tecnologia sejam frequentemente relatadas, seria ingênuo esperar que o uso da tecnologia transforme o ensino ou o aprendizado de línguas sem primeiro encontrar e superar algumas barreiras.

Findings from empirical research and the literature showed that technology integration in language teaching is advocated for a variety of reasons. Awareness of the barriers to and advantages of technology in enhancing teaching certainly has implications for teacher education. Further, teachers new to technology-based learning and teaching need to understand their changed roles and responsibilities in the new modality of learning and teaching. At the same time, teachers need to bear in mind that it is pedagogy, not technology that determines learning effectiveness. To make a successful transition from traditional pedagogy to technology-enriched instruction, teachers need to alter their teaching approaches to achieve effective teaching.

Descobertas de pesquisas empíricas e da literatura mostraram que a integração da tecnologia no ensino de línguas é defendida por uma variedade de razões. A conscientização das barreiras e vantagens da tecnologia no aprimoramento do ensino certamente tem implicações para a educação de professores. Além disso, professores novos no ensino e aprendizagem baseados em tecnologia precisam entender seus papéis e responsabilidades alterados na nova modalidade de ensino e aprendizagem. Ao mesmo tempo, os professores precisam ter em mente que é a pedagogia, não a tecnologia, que determina a eficácia da aprendizagem. Para fazer uma transição bem-sucedida da pedagogia tradicional para a instrução enriquecida com tecnologia, os professores precisam alterar suas abordagens de ensino para atingir um ensino eficaz.

(A) Timucin's research (2006) suggests that the introduction of technology in education has significantly exacerbated the existing problems in the education sector, leading to a decline in students' overall academic performance.

(B) Despite the overwhelming evidence pointing to the benefits of technology in education, it's crucial to recognize that its integration isn't without its share of challenges and setbacks, as numerous studies have highlighted.

(C) Lam and Lawrence (2002) argue that incorporating technology into education primarily benefits teachers, as it offers them an easier route to access supplementary information that they might not be able to provide otherwise, thereby diminishing the need for student-teacher interaction.

(D) According to various studies conducted by experts like Friggard and Miner, it's widely acknowledged that technological advancements have substantially hampered the traditional teaching methods and have led to a decline in students' comprehension.

(E) Mansor's study in 2001 emphasizes that the primary motivation behind incorporating technology in education is to cater to the demands of the competitive market, rather than to genuinely enhance the learning experience for students.

 TRADUÇÃO-TEXTOO texto seguinte servirá de base para responder às questões de 12 a 14.

Curious Kids: what is the Bermuda Triangle and why is it considered dangerous?

Crianças curiosas: o que é o Triângulo das Bermudas e por que ele é considerado perigoso?

(1º§) "The hype around the Bermuda Triangle can be traced back to a series of unexplained disappearances of ships and aircraft.

A fama (a badalação, a propaganda) em torno do Triângulo das Bermudas pode ser rastreado até uma série de desaparecimentos inexplicáveis ​​de navios e aeronaves.

In 1945, five US Navy planes and 14 men disappeared in the area while doing routine training exercises.

Em 1945, cinco aviões da Marinha dos EUA e 14 homens desapareceram na área enquanto faziam exercícios de treinamento de rotina. 

The flight's leader, Lieutenant Charles Taylor, was heard over the radio saying: "We are entering white water, nothing seems right. We don't know where we are, the water is green, no white."

O líder do voo, Tenente Charles Taylor, foi ouvido no rádio dizendo: "Estamos entrando em águas brancas, nada parece certo. Não sabemos onde estamos, a água é verde, nada de branca." 

The US navy investigated and ultimately reported the incident as "cause unknown".

A Marinha dos EUA investigou e, finalmente, relatou o incidente como "causa desconhecida". 

From the time of this incident until the mid-1980s, 25 small planes disappeared while passing through the Bermuda Triangle.

Desde o momento deste incidente até meados da década de 1980, 25 pequenos aviões desapareceram enquanto passavam pelo Triângulo das Bermudas.

They were never seen again. No wreckage was ever recovered.

Eles nunca mais foram vistos. Nenhum destroço foi recuperado.

(2º§) In light of the above, we should ask ourselves: if we don't know what caused something, or if something appears entirely mysterious, should we look for the answer in the paranormal (such as ghosts or spirits) or the supernatural (such as magic or miracles)?

À luz do exposto acima, devemos nos perguntar: se não sabemos o que causou algo, ou se algo parece totalmente misterioso, devemos procurar a resposta no paranormal (como fantasmas ou espíritos) ou no sobrenatural (como magia ou milagres)? 

Some people do. They find such explanations exciting.

Algumas pessoas sabem. Elas acham essas explicações emocionantes.

This is what has happened for decades with the incidents in the Bermuda Triangle.

É o que acontece há décadas com os incidentes no Triângulo das Bermudas.

However, when we take the time to learn more about these events and not jump to conclusions, they start to look much more ordinary.

No entanto, quando dedicamos um tempo para aprender mais sobre esses eventos e não tiramos conclusões precipitadas, eles começam a parecer muito mais comuns.

(3º§) "Take the disappearance of Charles Taylor and the five planes which the US Navy investigated.

Veja o desaparecimento de Charles Taylor e dos cinco aviões que a Marinha dos EUA investigou.

The investigation found that as it got dark outside and the weather changed, Taylor had navigated the planes to the wrong location.

A investigação descobriu que, quando escureceu lá fora e o tempo mudou, Taylor havia navegado os aviões para o local errado.

Taylor also had a history of getting lost while flying.

Taylor também tinha um histórico de se perder durante voos.

He had twice needed to be rescued in the Pacific Ocean.

Ele precisou ser resgatado duas vezes no Oceano Pacífico.

The navy itself had a good idea of what had happened ahead of the disappearance.

A própria Marinha tinha uma boa ideia do que havia acontecido antes do desaparecimento.

(4º§) "But the incident was ultimately described as "cause unknown" because Taylor's mother, not wanting to blame her son for the disappearance, maintained if the navy couldn't find the aircraft they couldn't say for sure what had happened.

Mas o incidente foi finalmente descrito como "causa desconhecida" porque a mãe de Taylor, não querendo culpar o filho pelo desaparecimento, sustentou que se a Marinha não conseguisse encontrar a aeronave, eles não poderiam dizer com certeza o que tinha acontecido.

Not wanting to blame Taylor for the tragedy, the navy agreed.

Não querendo culpar Taylor pela tragédia, a Marinha concordou.

Most of the pilots involved in the incident were trainees.

A maioria dos pilotos envolvidos no incidente eram estagiários.

This means they weren't properly taught how to use all the aircraft instruments when flying at night, or in bad weather.

Isso significa que eles não foram devidamente ensinados a usar todos os instrumentos da aeronave ao voar à noite ou em mau tempo.

(5º§) "What's more, the aircraft they had been flying were known to sink in as little as 45 seconds if they landed in water.

Além disso, as aeronaves que eles pilotavam eram conhecidas por afundar em apenas 45 segundos se pousassem na água.

And once aircraft sink in the vast ocean (although this is extremely rare these days), they are often never found again.

E uma vez que as aeronaves afundam no vasto oceano (embora isso seja extremamente raro hoje em dia), elas geralmente nunca mais são encontradas.

This is true even now, despite big improvements in aircraft technology and search-and-rescue methods.

Isso é verdade até agora, apesar das grandes melhorias na tecnologia de aeronaves e métodos de busca e salvamento.

  • "search-and-rescue" – busca e salvamento.

For instance, only a small amount of debris from the missing Malaysia Airlines MH370 flight, which disappeared in 2014, has been found [...].

Por exemplo, apenas uma pequena quantidade de destroços do voo desaparecido MH370 da Malaysia Airlines, que desapareceu em 2014, foi encontrada [...].
