As vivências como professora na área da língua inglesa da Educação Básica me motivaram a estudar leitura. A inquietação que surgiu foi: contextualizar culturalmente os temas propostos levaria o aluno a pensar a língua estrangeira com criticidade e consciência das diferenças entre esta e sua língua nativa? Nesta perspectiva, o objetivo deste artigo é documentar uma oficina de leitura em que houve a relação história e arte com critérios definidores do modo de funcionamento da Análise do Discurso francesa e a sua orientação em direção a problemas práticos do cotidiano, relacionados à língua e à comunicação. Para tanto, o estudo analisou e desenvolveu a leitura de um clipe em língua inglesa do ponto de vista da vida contemporânea, repensando o seu objeto de estudo, a escola, os alunos e os professores em diferentes contextos: corpo, etnia, nacionalidade, gênero, classe social, entre outros tópicos, conforme os textos estudados. O método de abordagem foi qualitativo, em pesquisa descritiva e bibliográfica com base nos autores da área da Análise do Discurso francesa, em apenas um clipe, entre oito oficinas compostas de clipes com temas diversificados em linguagem conotativa. Espera-se que o estudo aqui proposto culmine em um ensino que leve o estudante a pensar a outra cultura e, com ela, outras habilidades e competências em língua inglesa e consequentemente evolua com maior fluidez.   Palavras-chave: Ensino. Língua Inglesa. Videoclipe.   Abstract The experiences as a teacher in the English language area of ​​Basic Education motivated me to study reading. The concern that arose was to culturally contextualizing the proposed themes lead the student to think the foreign language with criticism and awareness of the differences between it and his native language? In this perspective, the aim of this article is to document a reading workshop in which there was a relationship between history and art with defining criteria of the way French Discourse Analysis works and its orientation towards practical everyday problems related to language and communication. To this end, the study analyzed and developed the reading of an English-language clip from the point of view of contemporary life, rethinking its object of study, school, students and teachers in different contexts: body, ethnicity, nationality, gender, social class, among other topics, according to the texts studied. The method of approach was qualitative, in descriptive and bibliographical research based on the authors of the French Discourse Analysis area, in only one clip, among eight workshops with clips with diverse themes in connotative language.

Total Physical Response (TPR) is built around the coordination of speech and actions. Action songs promote dance or acts while singing. In this study, we look at action songs as part of TPR to investigate its effectiveness in enhancing students’ listening skills to develop their mastery of the English Language. Seven Year 4 students from a Low Enrolment (SKM) Tamil Vernacular Primary school type (SJKT) were selected as the participants of a within-group experimental design. Upon completing a pre-test on listening skill, students were given six treatment lessons, whereby one hour per lesson was allocated. The treatment was conducted once a week, for every listening lesson. The data was collected while and after the pupils were taught through a series of lessons or interventions that incorporated songs and TPR to complete a variety of listening tasks. The finding shows that even though action songs and TPR are not commonly used among English Language teachers, teachers should implement the method especially for students from Low Enrolment Vernacular Primary School Type as the students in this study showed a significant increase in their post intervention scores of the listening test. The findings also discusses SJKT English Language teachers perceptions on the use of songs and TPR and suggests that there is still a lack of understanding among the teachers on the potential benefits of action songs and TPR for their particular students who have high levels of anxiety and inhibitions to learning English.

<p>The aim of this research is to determine the attitudes of secondary level students regarding the skills in English as a Foreign Language and to compare the level of relationship between the academic success at English and the attitudes measured. Attitudes and success levels of the students of secondary education regarding their language skills were found to be high. A significant relationship at a linear low level was observed between the academic success of the students and their attitudes towards English language skills. In this study, the attitudes of high school students measured according to their gender concerning their reading, writing, speaking and listening skills, showed difference in favor of female students. Again, high school students’ attitudes towards writing, speaking and listening skills except for the attitudes towards reading skills do differentiate according to the type of school in which they receive education.</p>

The article looks at book production and circulation from the point of view of translators, who, as purchasers and readers of foreign-language books, are an important mediating force in the selection of literature for translation. Taking the German publisher Tauchnitz's series ‘Collection of British Authors’ and its circulation in Finland in the nineteenth and early twentieth century as a case in point, the article argues that the increased availability of English-language books facilitated the acquiring and honing of translators' language skills and gradually diminished the need for indirect translating. Book history and translation studies meet here in an examination of the role of the Collection in Finnish translators' work.
