Creating an English learning environment in which learners are highly motivated is sometimes very challenging for EFL teachers. Folktales can be useful for facilitating learners in their competence of English language and also for enhancing their cross-cultural awareness. In the field of language teaching, the richness and potential of folktales seems to have been under-utilized in today’s language classes. This paper explores how folktales can be used as a medium of improving students’ reading skills and major benefits in using folktales for teaching English.  A classroom action research was employed to attain the purpose of this study in which two cyclic learning sessions were conducted to improve English learners’ reading skills. Several selected Indonesian folktales were intensively utilized in reading classes. This result of this study indicates that use of folktales by EFL teachers could improve student’ reading skill and widen their vocabulary and at the same time, culture is acquired by the students.

A utilização de recursos e de ferramentas tecnológicas no ensino de Língua Inglesa tem contribuído para uma prática pedagógica mais próxima à realidade dos estudantes. No entanto, nem todos os professores encontram possibilidades ou têm condições de utilizar ferramentas midiáticas para o preparo de suas aulas e isso decorre de diversos fatores, por exemplo, falta de formação para o uso das TIC, falta de recursos nas escolas, entre outros. Esta pesquisa tem por objetivos discutir a aplicação da ferramenta webquest em turmas do Ensino Médio de duas escolas particulares, situadas no Norte do Paraná, bem como apontar as percepções dos alunos sobre o uso dessa ferramenta na disciplina de Língua Inglesa e verificar se a realização da atividade contribuiu para a melhoria na formação dos alunos. Para isso, utilizou-se a pesquisa descritiva bibliográfica, de campo e analítica. Como resultados, constatou-se que houve apreensão do conteúdo disposto por meio da webquest, bem como a percepção de que esse recurso se mostrou eficaz no processo de ensino e aprendizagem de Língua Inglesa. O fato de se propor um novo método para ensinar um conteúdo resultou em mudanças na rotina da sala de aula, mas proporcionou novas experiências aos alunos, fazendo com que tivessem mais autonomia e estivessem no foco de sua aprendizagem, ou seja, trazer recursos tecnológicos para a sala de aula, para ensinar Língua Inglesa, trouxe resultados positivos, tanto para os alunos quanto para o professor.Palavras-chave: Webquest. Língua Inglesa. Ensino Médio. Redes Sociais.AbstractThe usage of technological resources and tools in English Language teaching has been contributing to pedagogical practical which is closer to the students´ reality. However, it is not the majority of teachers who are able to use media tools to prepare classes and this probably occurs due to a variety of reasons, such as a lack in ICT usage study, poor resources in schools, and others. This research aims to discuss the application of webquest tool in high school classes from two private schools, located in Northern Parana, and to identify the perception from these students about using webquest in English Language classes and verify if making activities through this tool contributed to a better students’ graduation. For this, a descriptive bibliography, field and analytic research were used. As results, it was found that there was apprehension of content provision through the webquest, as well as, the perception that this technological resource showed itself efficient in teaching-learning process of English Language. The fact in proposing a new method to teach a specific subject resulted in changes in the classroom routine, but it provides new experiences to the students, which they could have autonomy and focus on their learning process. That is, using technological resources in the classroom, to teach English Language, showed positive results, not only to the students but also to the teacher.Keywords: Webquest. English Language.

The English language is one of the international languages used for communication and learning worldwide. In Vietnam, English is taught as a second language in schools from elementary to advanced levels. In learning a certain foreign language, the autonomy of learners has become a vital subject for the past 30 years. This research surveys the autonomy of non-language-major-students in learning English in Ho Chi Minh City University of Education. The quantitative research method uses descriptive statistics and T-test. A group of 258 students (61 males and 197 females) took part in answering two questionnaires on learners' autonomy in learning English and the roles of lecturers and students in developing learner-autonomy in learning English. The results showed that the students were not familiar with the term learning autonomy. However, students were aware that they played a fundamental role in improving this ability. They also believed that the lecturers determined their English learning process. Thence, we propose solutions for the non-language-majors to improve their autonomy in learning English.
