Tendências conceituais e metodológicas adotadas no ensino-aprendizagem de língua inglesa através de histórias em quadrinhos

Abstract

Comics (Comic Books) are present in many educational practices of reading and writing, in addition to other areas of knowledge, although there is a lack of studies. This article investigates the conceptual and methodological trends adopted in English language teaching and learning through comic books. To achieve the objective, the Systematic Literature Review (RSL) was initiated through the Start platform, following a review protocol, based on inclusion and exclusion items. The initial selection of articles was based on related search terms, coming from nine digital libraries and published between 2011 and 2020. The results of the work reveal the need for practical efforts to meet new demands for communicative skills and abilities; technological tools have played a fundamental role today; several works associated digital narratives to Mobile Learning; the concern with the development of communicative competence can also be seen in the integration of reading and writing in teaching English as a second language; the comics offer a light reading that pleases the reader, among other considerations.
