Nutrindo o Multimodalismo
New learning collaborations call on the teacher as learner,
and the learner as teacher.
Novas colaborações de aprendizagem exigem o professor como aprendiz e o aprendiz como professor.
The teacher is a lifelong learner; this is
simply more apparent in the Information Age.
O professor é um aprendiz ao longo da vida; isso é ainda mais evidente na Era da Informação.
In instances of best
practice, collaborative learning partnerships are forged between
and among teachers for strategic, bottom-up, in-house
professional development.
Em casos de boas práticas, parcerias de aprendizagem colaborativa são forjadas entre professores para um desenvolvimento profissional estratégico, de baixo para cima e interno.
This allows teachers to share in
reflective, on-going, contextualized learning, tailored to their
collective knowledge. This sharing also includes the learner as
teacher.
Isso permite que os professores compartilhem uma aprendizagem reflexiva, contínua e contextualizada, adaptada ao seu conhecimento coletivo. Esse compartilhamento também inclui o aluno como professor.
ELT typically employs learner-centered activities: these
can include learners sharing their knowledge of strategic digital
literacies with others in the classrooms.
O ELT normalmente emprega atividades centradas no aluno: isso pode incluir alunos compartilhando seu conhecimento de literacia digital estratégica com outras pessoas nas salas de aula.
- * ELF - Inglês como a Língua Franca. Ela é franca porque é neutra, pertence a quem dela fizer uso. É comprovado que hoje a língua inglesa apresenta mais falantes não-nativos do que nativos de inglês (UK, USA)
The digital universe, so threatening to adult notions of
socially sanctioned literacies, is intuitive to children, who have
been socialized into it, and for whom digital literacies are
exploratory play.
O universo digital, tão ameaçador para as noções adultas de letramentos socialmente sancionados, é intuitivo para as crianças, que foram socializadas nele e para quem os letramentos digitais são uma brincadeira exploratória.
Adults may find new ways of communicating
digitally to be quite baffling and confronting of our
communicative expertise; children do not.
Os adultos podem achar novas formas de comunicação digital bastante desconcertantes e desafiadoras para nossa expertise comunicativa; as crianças, não.
Instant messaging
systems, such as MSN, AOL, ICQ, for example, provide as natural
a medium for communicating to them as telephones did for the
baby-boomer generation.
Sistemas de mensagens instantâneas, como MSN, AOL e ICQ, por exemplo, oferecem um meio de comunicação tão natural quanto os telefones para a geração baby-boomer.
It is not fair for the teacher to treat
Information and Communication Technologies as auxiliary
communication with learners for whom it is mainstream and
primary.
Não é justo que o professor trate as Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação como meios auxiliares de comunicação com alunos para os quais elas são comuns e primárias.
Learning spaces are important.
Espaços de aprendizagem são importantes.
Although teachers seldom
have much individual say in the layout of teaching spaces,
collaborative relationships may help to encourage integrated
digitization, where computers are not segregated in laboratories
but are interspersed throughout the school environment.
Embora os professores raramente tenham muita influência individual na configuração dos espaços de ensino, relacionamentos colaborativos podem ajudar a incentivar a digitalização integrada, onde os computadores não são segregados em laboratórios, mas sim espalhados por todo o ambiente escolar.
In
digitally infused curricula, postmodern literacies do not supplant
but complement modern literacies, so that access to information
is driven by purpose and content rather than by the media
available.
Em currículos com infusão digital, as literacias pós-modernas não substituem, mas complementam as literacias modernas, de modo que o acesso à informação é orientado pela finalidade e pelo conteúdo, e não pela mídia disponível.

2. The act of evaluating is more collaborative, mediated, more public, and more horizontal;
3. Formal moments of assessment are most desirable rather than more informal ones, such as self-evaluation. (translated from DUBOC 2016, pp.57-80.)
(A) All of them are true.
(B) None of them are true.
(C) 1 and 3 are false.
(D) 1 and 2 are true.
(E) 2 and 3 are false.

Language Assessment and the new Literacy Studies
Some Final Remarks
Planning language assessment from a structuralist view of
language has been a fairly easy task, since it aims at testing the
correct use of grammar and lexical structures. This has been a
very comfortable way to evaluate students’ performance in many
regular schools or language institutes due to the stability of
standardized answers. From the perspective of the new literacy
studies, the comfort of teaching and assessing objective and
homogeneous linguistic contents is replaced by a wider spectrum
of language teaching and assessing possibilities, whose key
elements turn to be difference and critique. Typical activities
based on this new approach would enable students to make and
negotiate meanings in a much more flexible way, corroborating
the novel notion of unstable, dynamic, collaborative and
distributed knowledge.
The inclusion of contents of such nature in language
assessments may be, at a first glance, a very laborious process
due to the fact we are simply not accustomed to that. Actually,
we sometimes find ourselves deprived from the teaching skills
necessary to apply a more critical teaching approach, a fact that
is much the results of our positivist educational background.
Nonetheless, since the emergent digital epistemology will
require subject more capable of designing and redesigning
meaning critically towards a great deal of representational
modes, we need to reconsider our teaching approaches, go
further and seek theories that take such issues into account. By
redefining the notions of language and knowledge, we, thus,
assume that the new literacy studies from the last decades may
offer very good insights to the field of foreign language teaching.
The re-conceptualization of language assessment according
to the new literacies project presented in this paper does not
intend to suggest prompt fixed answers, but it takes the risk of
outlining possible activities, signaling certain changes regarding
its characteristics and contents, as previously shared.
The increasing importance of the new literacy and
multiliteracies studies and their fruitful theoretical insight for the
rethinking of pedagogical issues invite us to review our foreign
language teaching practices in a different perspective. By sharing
some of our local findings, we attempt to corroborate the
collaborative and distributed knowledge discussed by the
literacies theory itself and hope to be contributing to the new
educational demands of the emerging epistemological basis.
