Abstract
RESUMO: A compreensão oral constitui um valioso meio de aprendizagem de línguas estrangeiras e um objetivo importante para os alunos no propósito de obter informações produzidas em segunda língua. Sua aquisição bem sucedida envolve o uso de processos mentais que precisam ser internalizados pelos alunos e posteriormente colocados em prática em suas interações orais para facilitar a compreensão em diferentes contextos comunicativos. É responsabilidade do professor encontrar as melhores formas de garantir a aquisição ativa dessa habilidade, escolhendo os tipos de tarefas e materiais que melhor atendam às necessidades e interesses dos alunos como indivíduos e como aprendizes de idiomas. Seguindo essas ideias, o presente artigo objetiva realçar a importância das habilidades auditivas no processo de aquisição de línguas estrangeiras. O trabalho também explora as formas em que essas habilidades podem ser abordadas em sala de aula para adicionar uma dimensão centrada no aluno ao processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Para atingir esses objetivos, o artigo se baseia em contribuições teóricas oferecidas por autores como Krashen (1982); Nunan (1998); Richards (2008, 1983); Brown (2006); Hinkel (2011, 2006); Nation e Newton (2009); Vandergrift (2011, 2007, 1999); Rost (2011, 2001) entre outros, que desenvolveram pesquisas substanciais nesse campo.
Highlights
Learning listening skills has frequently been underestimated by foreign language learners, who tend to prioritize speaking and writing based on the assumption that the mastery of these productive skills is equivalent to having proficiency in the foreign language (NUNAN, 1998)
Listening constitutes a skill of paramount importance in the foreign language teaching-learning process, as it offers opportunities for providing students with valuable input in the form of oral texts performed by native speakers of the target language, which favors their exposure to natural language in different communicative contexts where the foreign language is used
Will students have access to different linguistic components such as grammar, vocabulary, intonation, stress and rhythm, which are necessary for reaching an acceptable level of language proficiency; they will be able to access interesting and updated topics related to their study areas or sociocultural environment
Summary
▪▪ ABSTRACT: Listening constitutes a valuable means of foreign language learning and an important goal for students in the purpose of obtaining information produced in the target language. Its successful acquisition involves the use of mental processes that need to be internalized by the students and later put into practice in their oral interactions to facilitate comprehension in different communicative contexts It is the teacher’s responsibility to find the best ways to guarantee the students’ active acquisition of this language skill by choosing the kinds of tasks and materials that best suit their needs and interests as individuals and as language learners. Following these ideas, the present paper aims to highlight the importance of listening skills in the process of foreign language acquisition.
