Subject: Ainda BREEN & MANN (1997)

Colegas:

Penso que poderíamos ter discutido (mais) alguns aspectos do texto de BREEN & MANN (1997). Sei que, agora, já é hora de discutirmos outros textos e me penitencio por não ter enviado sugestões ou provocações antes, mas valeria a pena retornar àquele texto algum dia, neste mesmo fórum.

Escrevo isso porque penso que os trechos

“... the educational system as it operates in a society like Britain is structured and functions in such a way that it is less and less likely for a person to develop as an autonomous learner because the formal conventions of the system seriously challenge the exercise of authentic autonomy.” (p.138)

“Might it be possible that the current interest by teachers in the autonomy of learners is an expression of a growing personal uncertainty and a feeling of powerlessness so that many teachers are beginning to question the culture of ‘authority’ as it manifests itself towards the end of the century, including that which they themselves represent as teachers?” (p.140)

“A central paradox for autonomous language learning is the unavoidable tension within any class of learners between the individual and the group.” (p.142)

e os termos/expressões "put on the mask of autonomous behavior", “power relations” (p.141) e “teaching industry” (p.149)

poderiam ensejar ótimas discussões. Espero que possamos voltar a essas questões ao longo do curso! ;-)

José.
