Desafios e competências de oralidade do graduando de letras-língua inglesa: um relato de experiência no PARFOR de Presidente Figueiredo (AM)

Abstract

This study focuses on the challenges and oral competence of undergraduate students in the English Language course at the State University of Amazonas, in the municipality of Presidente Figueiredo-AM, within the scope of the National Program for the Training of Basic Education Teachers (PARFOR). It is based on a reflective report developed during academic training, aiming to analyze how some methodological strategies promote the development of oral communicative competence for adult undergraduates. The study is justified by the need to understand difficulties related to grammatical and lexical complexity in English for adults, limited communicative practice, low exposure to the language, and restricted study time. For the analysis of strategies, three central factors are considered: attention, motivation, and multimodality, which guide the selection of observed practices. Highlighted strategies include the use of music, thematic debates, digital applications such as Kahoot, among others, which enhance engagement, increase interaction, and stimulate active participation. Methodologically, the study is based on systematic observations and personal records. The results indicate that diversified and contextualized pedagogical practices contribute to strengthening oral skills and developing students’ linguistic confidence. Keywords: oral skills; methodology; attention; motivation; multimodality; teacher education.
