Aspectos pedagógicos do desenho animado infantil Bob esponja

Este estudo teve como objetivo refletir sobre a importância de se entender o desenho animado para publico infantil para além do entretenimento, como rica fonte de apreensão de significados. O desenho animado escolhido para análise foi o infantil "Bob esponja", que apresenta elementos típicos da comédia como simplicidade, exagero, inconveniência e irreverência. O trabalho foi construído pela escolha de quatro episódios, selecionados por apresentarem enredos que tratavam dos temas família (Beijos da vovó); mentira (Chocolate com nozes); doença (Espuma) e disputa (Jogos do mestre-cuca) e sua intersecção com a fundamentação teórica oferecida pela análise do discurso; aspectos da linguagem audiovisual e considerações sobre as relações existentes entre o público infantil e a TV. Através da leitura do discurso dos episódios selecionados foi possível a verificação da presença de traços de um discurso pedagógico fundido no macro discurso do entretenimento.(AU)

Explainer: Are Bob Dylan's Songs 'Literature'?

Bob Dylan has won this year’s Nobel Prize for Literature. The media has reported on this surprising choice by asking musicians, poets, and writers if Dylan’s songs are indeed “literature”. Irvine Welsh, the author of Trainspotting (1993), made it clear on Twitter that he didn’t think they were: If you’re a ‘music’ fan, look it up in the dictionary. Then ‘literature’. Then compare and contrast. So are song lyrics a type of literature or, more specifically, poetry? The English poet Glyn Maxwell thinks not. In On Poetry (2011), he writes that “Songs are strung upon sounds, poems upon silence”. Inhabiting silence makes poetry the harder and more important art form. Music, Maxwell writes, makes lyrics seem better than when they appear on the whiteness of the page.

The extracurriculum in an input-poor environment

This paper reports on the experiences of an extracurricular program in English language learning (ELL) that was implemented in an institute of technology in the hinterland of the People's Republic of China (PRC). Following the guidelines set out in an impact study of the reform of curriculum change in Hong Kong (Adamson & Morris, 2000), this study takes account of the context of the particular socio-cultural and political environment in which the research program takes place. Three distinct phases emerged in the career of the extracurricular program - the establishment of the program; successful implementation; and the decline. The study identifies three key factors that shaped these phases: teacher motivation; student motivation and its various influences; and available resources (including collegial and administrative support). The findings suggest that of the key factors impacting on the ELL extracurriculum, student motivation was the most influential.
