Abstract

Este artigo discute questões sobre o inglês padrão e o uso de corpora no contexto do ensino de inglês como língua estrangeira. Reflete-se sobre o papel que os textos autênticos passam a ter tanto para a lingüística quanto a lingüística aplicada. O autor ressalta que professores e alunos de inglês como língua estrangeira não podem esperar por um futuro no qual todos os problemas teóricos e práticos tenham sido resolvidos e convida todos para participar de forma ativa na construção de um ensino de línguas baseado em textos autênticos. Nesse sentido, ressalta que o input e feedback de todos os envolvidos no ensino de línguas em seus diversos estágios é crucial para que problemas sejam avaliados e resolvidos.

RESUMO

Este artigo discute questões sobre o inglês padrão e o uso de corpora no contexto do ensino de inglês como língua estrangeira. Reflete-se sobre o papel que os textos autênticos passam a ter tanto para a lingüística quanto a lingüística aplicada. O autor ressalta que professores e alunos de inglês como língua estrangeira não podem esperar por um futuro no qual todos os problemas teóricos e práticos tenham sido resolvidos e convida todos para participar de forma ativa na construção de um ensino de línguas baseado em textos autênticos. Nesse sentido, ressalta que o input e feedback de todos os envolvidos no ensino de línguas em seus diversos estágios é crucial para que problemas sejam avaliados e resolvidos.
