The article touches upon the problems of teaching English as a third foreign language in higher educational institutions of the Republic of Armenia. The students’ mother tongue, in this case, is Armenian. Russian is the first foreign language and French is the second one. Considering the fact that the students’ 2nd (French) and 3rd (English) foreign languages have significant similarities that can cause both positive transfer and negative interference, the teaching/learning process of English should be organized by paying special attention to the similarities and taking into account certain peculiarities. Accordingly, the use of correctly selected exercises can help in organizing the teaching/learning process more quickly and effectively. The author also introduces some “dangerous” language phenomena that may bring about undesirable interference in learning English after French. In addition, a number of exercise samples are provided that might be used to develop the students’ lexical, grammatical and phonological competences in teaching/learning English as a third foreign language.

Este estudo foi realizado em uma escola estadual de Goiânia, em Goiás, Brasil, com quinze alunos de um grupo de terceiro ano do ensino médio, em 2014. As principais ideias que conduziram este estudo giram em torno da importância da interação no processo de ensino-aprendizagem de língua inglesa, a presença do outro e autonomia/autorregulação dos alunos. A base teórica da pesquisa provém do dialogismo bakhtiniano (BAKHTIN, 1993, 2003; BARROS, 1997; BRAIT, 2005), do sociointeracionismo vigotskiano (VYGOTSKY, 1978; MOLL, 1990; LANTOLF; APPEL, 1994; REGO, 1995) e dos pensamentos freireanos (FREIRE, 1996, 2005) que dizem respeito ao posicionamento dos estudantes como agentes de sua própria aprendizagem. Os objetivos gerais foram: averiguar as percepções dos aprendizes-participantes em relação ao processo de ensino-aprendizagem de inglês, antes e depois das intervenções; observar como diferentes formas de interação social (P-A, P-As, A-P, A-A, As-As, As-P) podem interferir em aulas de inglês de um grupo do terceiro ano de uma escola estadual; e descrever como a professora-pesquisadora percebe a experiência de ensinar inglês com seu foco voltado para a interação social. A metodologia usada é a pesquisa-ação qualitativa (THIOLLENT, 1986; ENGEL, 2000; MELLO; REES, 2011) e os instrumentos utilizados para gerar os dados foram questionários, notas de campo e entrevistas. Os resultados mostram que os alunos puderam perceber o inglês como língua possível de ser apropriada por eles, usada para comunicar, e também puderam reconhecer a importância do outro no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Ademais, a professora-pesquisadora pôde perceber que aulas interativas e efetivas foram possíveis naquela escola pública.

The article focuses on research into project work as a learner’s activity contributing to the development and refinement of his / her communicative competence. The author states that, besides improving a learner’s linguistic competence and promoting his/her involvement with the learning process, project work favourably affects both communication standards and, more broadly, social behavior through providing ample room for cooperation, empathy, creativity, and individual contribution. Thus, embracing project work and making it part of the foreign language teaching routine will ensure that learners acquire communicative competence at a level that meets current requirements.
