Tiktok as a digital space for contemporary teaching and learning in the Portuguese Language: a proposal for the classroom
.
Writing Practices; Short Videos; Digital Literacy
TikTok is a digital platform that houses spaces to record, edit, publish, and circulate short videos that are successful, above all, among young people and teenagers. Due to its power of dissemination and mass reach, it also gained visibility among teachers who sought in this space the opportunity to draw students' attention to its contents playfully and pleasantly, which gained prominence, mainly, during the social isolation imposed by the pandemic of COVID-19. Given the use and appropriation of this space, this work aims to present a proposal for teaching grammar based on the production of videos made by students in the TikTok environment, to be a way to contribute to the process of improving writing through research, language description and positioning on social networks. This is an intervention research carried out with twenty students from the 7th year B of Elementary School II at the Eliane Digigov Santana State School, which promoted writing practices through the appropriation of virtual environments that are still little used for pedagogical purposes. The implementation of these practices provided the exchange of experiences that highlighted the role of students in building their knowledge.
