Resumo
RESUMO - A partir de estudos como os de Schmidt (1990) e Batstone (1994), compreendemos que a aprendizagem de línguas não poderia ocorrer sem a conscientização. Desse modo, a percepção consciente de formas e sentidos seria condição necessária para o primeiro passo no processo de aprendizagem da gramática da língua, além de facilitar a aprendizagem de outros aspectos. Devido à relevância deste tema em relação ao ensino de inglês como língua estrangeira, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar uma proposta baseada em atividades de atenção focada à gramática ou noticing by the learner (BATSTONE, 1994) e verificar se os alunos-participantes de um curso de inglês como língua estrangeira de nível intermediário conseguem atentar para a gramática e perceber a relação entre a forma e o significado da língua. Trata-se, portanto, de uma pesquisa qualitativa e interpretativista. Com a intenção de entender se os alunos-participantes conseguiram atentar para as regularidades entre forma e significado da língua nas atividades propostas, analisamos as suas respostas às atividades de noticing by the learner elaboradas, além das respostas coletadas de questionários e entrevistas. Objetivamos também considerar e analisar as percepções e opiniões tanto da professora-pesquisadora como dos alunos-participantes sobre o ensino e aprendizagem de gramática, após a aplicação das atividades baseadas na proposta de noticing by the learner (BATSTONE, 1994). Por meio deste estudo, pode-se indicar que a proposta de noticing by the learner facilitou a percepção de certos aspectos gramaticais pelos alunos-participantes. Com relação à opinião dos alunos-participantes sobre as atividades de noticing by the learner, verificamos que, embora tenham reconhecido em nossa proposta uma nova maneira de se refletir sobre a língua, houve preferência por atividades ou explicações gramaticais dedutivas e explícitas, tendo o professor como transmissor das informações de cunho gramatical. Como esta pesquisa teve o foco em atividades de noticing by the learner, sem no entanto, trabalhar com os aspectos notados no uso da língua, acreditamos que uma possível investigação futura poderia discutir o noticing em conjunto com tarefas que possibilitassem a prática comunicativa por parte dos alunos, a fim de verificar se os aspectos notados foram internalizados a ponto de aparecerem na produção dos participantes.
ABSTRACT - Taking both Schmidt (1990) and by Batstone (1994) studies into consideration, we can understand that learning does not take place without noticing. Therefore, the process of consciousness-raising of form and meaning is a necessary condition for the grammar learning process, and it is facilitative for other aspects of learning. Due to the relevance of this topic in English as a foreign language teaching, the aim of this research is to analyze the application of activities based on noticing by the learner (BATSTONE, 1994) and to verify if the participants of an English as a foreign language course could perceive the relation between form and meaning in such activities. The methodology used in this research is, therefore, qualitative and interpretative. In order to understand if the participants were able to see grammatical regularities and notice the relation between form and meaning with noticing activities, we analyzed the participants’ answers to the noticing by the learner activities. We also aimed to take the teacher-researcher and the participants’ views and opinions on grammar teaching and learning after having done the noticing by the learner activities (BATSTONE, 1994). It was observed that the noticing by the learner activities helped participants to notice certain grammatical aspects. As for the participants’ opinions on the activities, we could observe that even though they recognized the potential of reflecting about language with noticing by the learner, they expressed a preference for deductive and explicit grammar explanations in which the teacher acts as the one who transmits the grammar knowledge to students. Since this research focused on noticing by the learner activities unconnected to the noticed language aspects in real use, we believe that a future investigation could consider noticing together with tasks that would enable learners to put the noticed language into practice as to verify if the participants were able to not only notice the grammatical features, but to internalize them and also make these features appear in their output during production activities.
