1. BREVE DESCRIO DO PROJECTO 1.1. GNESE DO PROJECTO. QUANDO? COMO? PORQU? PARA QUEM? O Projeto Creative Grammar Workshop (Oficina de Gramtica Criativa) surgiu na sequncia de uma experincia didtica introduzida ainda no ano letivo de 2008/2009, nas aulas de Ingls das turmas dos Cursos de Educao e Formao (CEF), pela professora M Elisa Figueiredo. A avaliao diagnstica e formativa nessas turmas permitiu constatar que os alunos evidenciavam muitas dificuldades nas competncias relacionadas com o domnio da lngua inglesa (no domnio e aplicao de vocabulrio e de estruturas gramaticais fundamentais, na leitura, escrita e oralidade). Por outro lado, os alunos revelavam uma atitude particularmente negativa pela aprendizagem da gramtica, que consideravam difcil e

desinteressante. Considerando a quantidade de estudos que demonstram a importncia de uma atividade sistemtica e reflexiva sobre o funcionamento da lngua no desenvolvimento da leitura, da escrita e da oralidade (Costa, 2003), tornou-se prioritrio intervir nesta rea. Entre as estratgias implementadas, uma revelou-se especialmente produtiva, quer no domnio, aplicao e uso em contexto das estruturas trabalhadas quer no desenvolvimento de uma atitude positiva face aprendizagem do Ingls, em geral, e ao estudo da gramtica, em particular: a Oficina de Gramtica Criativa. Em reunies de subdepartamento de Ingls-Alemo, as dificuldades nas competncias relacionadas com o domnio da lngua e a falta

de interesse de alguns alunos foram diagnosticadas como causas de insucesso na disciplina de Ingls, nos vrios nveis de ensino. A conjugao dos fatores acima enunciados criou em ns a vontade de levar a experincia da Oficina de Gramtica Criativa a um pblico de alunos mais alargado, com a colaborao de mais professores de Ingls. Nos ltimos anos letivos, o projeto tem sido alargado a um pblico mais vasto de alunos de Ingls, contando com a colaborao de vrias professoras de Ingls: M Elisa Figueiredo (responsvel pelo projeto), Dulce Coimbra, Anabela Oliveira, Lurdes Neves e Ana Paula Pereira.

ABORDAGEM DIDTICA

Tendo como fonte de inspirao a obra e respetiva abordagem terico-prtica ao ensino da gramtica de dois reputados autores e professores de Ingls como Lngua Estrangeira Gnter Gerngross e Herbert Puchta - procura adotar-se uma abordagem holstica e criativa do ensino da gramtica. Cada lio/ sesso foca uma determinada estrutura gramatical e tem por objetivo ajudar os alunos a ancorar essa estrutura na memria de longo prazo, atravs de um processo que culmina com a criao de textos imaginativos e memorveis. Gerngross e Puchta utilizam o termo

CREATIVE GRAMMAR WORKSHOP 2011/13

memorable, numa dupla aceo: o que facilmente se memoriza e memorvel, como resultado de uma aprendizagem cognitiva e afectivamente construda (Gerngrss & Puchta,1992). As atividades desenvolvidas, em cada sesso da oficina, centramse em trs momentos essenciais: 1. Leitura e interao com um texto modelo; 2. Re)criao/ (re)escrita pessoal do texto pelos alunos e ilustrao do mesmo; 3. Leitura, em voz alta, dos textos (re)criados e partilha de experincias entre os alunos. Os textos criados pelos alunos revelam frequentemente algo do seu mundo interior e do seu universo cultural e pessoal.

It was my sisters birthday I was no longer an only child My sister was born on a lovely day She had very little hands and spent most time sleeping. Everybody paid her lots of attention and I got a little jealous But it she wasnt there Could I have so much fun at home? Would my parents be so understanding? Would I feel happier? I think my sister brought lots of joy to our family. Bigger families have more fun, dont you agree?

The other day I met an acquaintance of mine while I was going for a walk She was holding a bouquet of lovely flowers and she looked very happy. Did her boyfriend offer her the bouquet? Did she receive it at work? Did she buy it for her mother? I did not ask anything, just said hello and so did she. I do not care who the flowers were to or where they came from. What matters is that she was very happy.

On the street One day I was walking on a big city street When I saw someone in need of help She was sitting on the floor in front of a caf Her clothes were old Her eyes were sad She was begging for some help but nobody cared Where was her family? Why wasnt she at school? Did she enjoy sitting there doing nothing? I dont think so. There shouldnt be anyone begging for help on the streets. Society should do something about this quickly.

CREATIVE GRAMMAR WORKSHOP 2011/13

I came in the room to ask her what time it was She was there and I looked at her I saw that she was crying and her look was very far away Should I have asked her what was going on?

An Incident
I was on my way to school when I saw a dead cat in the middle of the road, There was lots of blood around it and there were tyre marks all over its body. Why was there a cat lying in the middle of the road? Why didnt anyone try to take it out of there? Why wasnt the driver that killed it more careful? If I had caught it, I wouldnt leave it on the road. I hate seeing dead animals forgotten in the middle of roads. And if it were dead people?
