What could challange you?





Professor Dr. Vera Menezes, in one of her papers about Technologies and Second Language Teaching,  expresses some of the challenging that school, teachers and students are facing. Supported by Healey (2009), the researcher says that:

“Os propósitos dos parâmetros para os professores são: reconhecer a importância de se integrar à tecnologia no ensino; saber o que se espera deles em termos de conhecimento, habilidades e de implementação de currículo; entender a necessidade de aprendizagem continuada em suas carreiras profissionais; e ser desafiado a alcançar um nível maior de proficiência no uso da tecnologia na docência”.

In your point of view and according to your experience, what could the University do to challenge students in order to achieve and improve his/her technology proficiency for the teaching career?

Give you opinion, it can be very useful!!

It was also part of a Master Degree research project from the Applied Linguistics Department of UFMT (Federal University of Mato Grosso- Brazil).
