O ENSINO DE INGLÊS PARA COMPUTAÇÃO COM AUXÍLIO DA GAMIFICAÇÃO

Abstract

In the light of gamification for teaching in educational institutions, they guide a new context in the world of education and learning. We experience behavioral changes in students currently and that we can give credit to the ubiquity with the popularization of devices mobile, a fact that shows us the need to promote a change in education, in order to meet the demands that this technology has been bringing to students nowadays. Based on this objective, we bring the idea of ​​developing a mobile application in (ANDROID), which helps in the teaching/learning of the English language, taking into account the didactic needs of teachers and students in the area of Informatics/Computing with conventional teaching. Used in business environments, gamification brings to its collaborators tools of training and specialization. In some cases gamification is used in systems of large companies encouraging employees to achieve daily goals to achieve some objective, thus bringing a gain in performance and commitment to the function. Knowing this, it can be seen that teaching through tools that stimulate the student becomes important due to the stimulus that it will achieve. Furthermore, it is done necessary to pay attention to the English language because it is fundamental for the student of information technology, with several terms and documents that are only found in that language. Within this computational context, English terms are increasingly present in life of each user in which a simple knowledge is necessary to be able to operate the systems. The knowledge of some terms is substantial, since they are used in everyday life and charged at opportune times, within this context it is a teaching tool that makes it possible to teach with this same type of engagement for all students. Thus, it is clear that the development of application that has as its main role: to motivate, engage, makes teaching attractive. OK highlight, that all this change is due to the growing advances and needs of skilled people, as the job market demands. This situation can be perceived in job offers in the area that requires basic knowledge in English and with these tools being used we will have a greater interest of the students who will use of recreational means to benefit from learning and thus make progress in teaching reading and writing of the English language in which it is of great professional importance for students of the computing area.
