STUDENT’S VOICES ABOUT SOCIAL AND GENDER AT SCHOOL: IMPRESSIONS ABOUT DIDATIC MATERIALS OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE

This work intends to reflect on the impressions of two  teenagers  of 9º years in two public schools in City  of Cascavel, Paraná State. about socialgender identities English language teaching materials. These reflections are part of a field survey had a larger scope. Thus,  the reflections have  focused on a few lines of students. To make it possible to reflect on the social identities of this boys and girls we rely on references that talk about social identities, gender identities, teachers training: Moita Lopes (2002), Auad (2003), Norton (2004), Woodward (2004), Norton and Pavlenko (2004), Ferreira (2006), Louro (2008),  Ferreira and Ferreira (2011), among others.. Regarding to methodology, we followed  a qualitative field research of ethnografic  interviews were made and used questionnaires to students and students to understand the perceptions of the same on the didatic material used at the moment remembering that at the time this research the MEC (Ministry of Education) has not distributed the textbooks of English, then the materials were compiled by professors of disciplines.. The results showed that  perceptions  of adolescents go through the learning material and also initiates discussions on gender in the lives of these students and students in the social contexts to which they operate daily.Perceptions surrounding these issues often seem naturalizard by them, this is not always notice able naturalized by them. These reflections made it possible to understand the relationship between teaching materials and gender relations in the school environment and transcend this environment are brought to life in society.

Generative linguistics and grammar in Primary Education

This paper aims to relate the generative assumptions and possible collaborations they have given to the "teaching" of Portuguese. With a methodology of research and reflection, it investigates the contribution of the concepts of generative theory and related studies to her in three areas related to the classroom: (a) the delivered content, what is meant by grammar; (b) the effectiveness of teaching materials, given the concepts that express; and (c) the teaching practices, difficulties and issues in "teaching" the mother tongue and the teaching methodology. Is adopted as theoretical frameworks, Chomsky's research (1965 and underlying works) to the basic concepts of Principles and Parameters Theory, the theory Kato (2005) on the grammar of the literate, the proposed VanPatten (2003) on the input and output, the precursor work of Silva (2013) which relates gerativismo and teaching, and the papers of Neves (1994), Costa and Barin (2003) and Pilati (2014) on the current reality of the classroom. It concludes that the gerativismo has contributed indeed with concepts that can mitigate the problems faced in "teaching" mother tongue and bring a significant change to education. The need for innovation in teaching practices is imminent and linguistic studies have proven the delay and inefficiency of the methodologies used in the school.
