The adaptation of speaking practices in English as an L2 from in-person to remote mode

Abstract

This article discusses the adaptation to remote mode of an in-person project entitled Movie Talks that was developed in 2018 as an extension project at UTFPR - Pato Branco. The aim of this study is to report the changes that have become necessary when restructuring the project for the remote version, in order to make the online project accessible, contextualized and meaningful for the participants, through an array of digital resources to carry out activities aimed at autonomous and meaningful oral and written comprehension and production. This article is based on bibliographic research, mainly on the studies of Brown (2000), Chartrand (2012), Woo et al. (2007) and others, based on the principles of automaticity, meaningful learning, intrinsic motivation and strategic investment using technological resources for language teaching in the emergency remote mode.
