In reply to: Regina Moreno 's message, "The teacher’s role in developing students’" on 15:39:27 09/14/04 Tue

Regino Moreno e demais colegas:

Regina: penso que sua observação é muito pertinente. YANG (1998, p.128), ciente disso, cita REID (1996), que "exhorted teachers of English as a second language (ESL)/foreign language (EFL) to create 'learning-centered classrooms', not just 'learner-centered classrooms'" e que, ainda, "specifically pointed out that language teachers should 'provide a wealth of information to students in order to raise their awareness about learning styles and strategies, ... and finally, TO WORK WITH STUDENT'S LEARNING STRENGTHS'".

Essa sua observação me fez retomar um trecho do texto de BREEN & MANN (1997 - 2º parágrafo da p. 141), porque acredito que, se o trabalho não for bem conduzido, há o risco não só de se perder todo o esforço direcionado ao desenvolvimento da autonomia, mas também de os alunos "give up their autonomy to put on the mask of autonomous behaviour" (p.141), pelos motivos apresentados por esse casal de pesquisadores.

É preciso, pois, estar alerta para as múltiplas variáveis, os vários fatores que envolvem um projeto que visa à autonomia, sob pena de aborto desse processo, com imensas perdas e frustração para alunos(as) e professor(a).

José.
