BRAZIL IN HEADLINES

In this presentation we intend to talk about the development of reading activities, taking into consideration Internet articles that focus the Brazilian reality. It is considered that Brazil, by its recent social and economic importance and also by the next events it will host (World Cup in 2014 and Olympic Games in 2016) has been calling attention of all nations worldwide. One of the topics of discussion will be the manipulation of information. Reading must be an active interaction for the construction of meaning and not only the decodification of the words on the page. It is important to discuss the way the facts are told to other societies and also the way other countries have seen us. In this process the students can realize how important English language is to understand these speeches and how Brazil’s international image has been built abroad.
Keywords: reading; vocabulary; Internet. Prof. Leandro Braga di Salvo - leandrobdisalvo@gmail.com

Research papers, articles and news have pointed out the gap between teachers and technology, which results in practical obstacles and challenges in applying digital technologies in the development of materials for language learning. This workshop briefly discusses theory and presents some strategies for planning and developing instructional materials based on digital technologies.

TIPS FOR IMPROVING YOUR SPOKEN ENGLISH ONLINE

It is very common to find students complaining about their spoken deficiencies in English. Some of them do well when writing, reading and listening skills are involved. Nevertheless, when speaking is the matter they blush, shake their bodies, have their hands wet … words don’t come properly!!! But frustration does. So, this workshop concerns with several important tips for those who want to improve their spoken English without spending money and in a very nice way: surfing the web.
In order to “heat the turbines” my first piece of advice is to get over any fear you might have of making mistakes. You will make mistakes. The key point in here is to know that you need to be understood, so pronunciation and enunciation are what really matters.
