Livro interativo de obras literárias: a utilização de objeto digital de aprendizagem para o desenvolvimento da leitura em língua inglesa.

Abstract

This work explores the intersection of literature, education, and digital learning objects (ODA) as a means to address the challenges of fostering a reading culture, particularly in the context of English language education. The author reflects on a lifelong passion for literature, influenced by remarkable language and literature teachers, and a strong desire to impart knowledge as an inspiring educator. Recognizing the persistent difficulties in cultivating new readers in Brazil, as evidenced by the 2016 study "Retratos da Leitura no Brasil" conducted by Ibope for the Instituto Pró-Livro, the article underscores the crucial role of schools and teachers in shaping reading habits. The study reveals that only 56% of the Brazilian population engages in reading, emphasizing the need to stimulate reading in the classroom and make literature enjoyable and routine for students. The author, prompted by a conversation with Professor Aldina Tatiana Silva Pereira, explores a novel approach: the use of digital learning objects (ODA) for teaching literature. The central inquiry emerges: How can digital learning objects, presented in the classroom, contribute to the formation of new English-language readers and enhance reading comprehension? This work asserts its significance by proposing that the integration of ODA with literature can not only contribute to the formation of new readers but also aid in sustaining the reading habits of younger generations. The study, conducted as a qualitative case study, unfolds at IFAP Campus Macapá, focusing on second-year students in the technical food course. Data collection involves ODA activities and a student perception questionnaire to address the overarching objective: examining the contribution of digital learning objects to the formation of new English-language readers. This work details the application of an ODA interactive book, "The Tale of the Three Brothers" by JK Rowling, and evaluates how the interactive ODA strengthens reading proficiency. Additionally, it investigates students' perceptions of reading literary works through interactions with ODA. While not a conclusive work, the study encourages further exploration of ODA for literary works and additional research to gauge their influence on enhancing reading skills. This work concludes with an overview of the chapters, encompassing the theoretical framework, methodological procedures, data analysis, and findings, emphasizing the potential of ODA in shaping the future of literature education.
