O RPG como alternativa de ensino de língua inglesa: Utilizando a imaginação como recurso pedagógico

Abstract

In general, it is said that the effective learning of English consists in a satisfactory domain of four skills which are: reading, listening, speaking and writing. Thus, the learning of English allows increasing the perception of the person as an active citizen in society. It is in this context that schools have an extremely important role in the formation of people who have knowledge in the English Language. The present study aims to reflect upon how the imagination can be used as a pedagogical resource from the use of existing resources in the Roleplaying Game (RPG). To do this, we conducted a case study on the topic, in a public school of Porto Nacional-TO, for 18 students from the third grade of high school. Therefore, it was concluded that the games play an extremely important role in the present days and that with the RPG is no different, because by using it, it is possible to use the English Language as a way to increase the prospects of cultural and citizen education, as well as to expand the communication in a time of social and immediate interaction.
