Abstract

How is the teaching of oral comprehension and production in English in distance education characterized? We approached four theoretical background towards activity proposals and, in light of these theories we developed a qualitative research in which we analyzed a corpus consisted of 41 online activities proposals practiced in a course from a blended undergraduate course in Letters/English offered by the Federal University of Ceará. Through data analysis we identified 27 online activities proposals of exercises for the promotion of student/computer interaction. Their characteristics were: lack of contextualization; lack of social interaction; limited and controlled contact with linguistic forms; practice through repetition.
