The main implications of teaching the four core skills considering the digital culture & literacy perspective revolves around understanding language and its skills as inherently attached to technology. In this sense, what possible challenges, difficulties or drawbacks might be faced by an English teacher of a Brazilian public school who aims at exploring these new ways of listening, speaking, reading and writing in cyberspace?

Teachers need to study constantly and, from what I've been able to observe, there isn't much support from higher instances when it comes to that...]]> 2023-04-02 22:20:20 UTC https://padlet.com/leilabarros3/4be7h8b6p24hbuqg/wish/2541386464 leilabarros3 https://padlet.com/leilabarros3/4be7h8b6p24hbuqg/wish/2541387586 One of the most striking challenges might have to do with not having proper neither sufficient equipment for all students. There are classes in public schools with more than 40 students sometimes, and not all schools have access to 40 computers or laptops so that the teacher can plan an online game with everybody at the same time...]]> 2023-04-02 22:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/leilabarros3/4be7h8b6p24hbuqg/wish/2541387586 leilabarros3 https://padlet.com/leilabarros3/4be7h8b6p24hbuqg/wish/2541389407 Some challenges: limited equipment; irregular wi-fi access; students with no access to technological devices, among others.

Some drawbacks: Students might be easily distracted; teacher might waste too much time of the lesson preparing for an online assignment.]]> 2023-04-02 22:27:53 UTC https://padlet.com/leilabarros3/4be7h8b6p24hbuqg/wish/2541389407 leilabarros3 https://padlet.com/leilabarros3/4be7h8b6p24hbuqg/wish/2541390524 I think some students might find listening, speaking, reading and writing in cyberspace quite overwhelming, since it's common that many of them are not used to working with the 4 core skills altogether. Some teachers focus only on textual interpretation (reading skills) and tend to forget the other core skills... So, in my view, teaching those skills through technology may be extra hard/challenging...]]> 2023-04-02 22:31:05 UTC https://padlet.com/leilabarros3/4be7h8b6p24hbuqg/wish/2541390524
