O ensino do tema contemporâneo transversal educação alimentar através do ensino de língua inglesa

Abstract

This article aims to promote the discussion of the importance of food education and the problems of poor nutrition for the development of adolescents through the sequence of classes and teaching materials in English. It also aims to contextualize food education at school as a transversal component in the school curriculum; encourage food education at school in a critical and intercultural perspective in accordance with the Base Nacional Comum Curricular. Therefore, a qualitative bibliographic study was carried out to guide the exploratory part of the research, which, albeit removed from the practical field of the school classroom, is rooted in the social concern in relation to the practical performance of the teacher as well as in student learning. We consulted studies on food education by Basílio (2016), Bila et al. (2019) and Sardinha (2016), the educational guidelines in the Base Nacional Comum Curricular and the Temas Contemporâneos Transversais (BRASIL, 2018, 2019) and interdisciplinary teaching (SILVEIRA, 2020). Hence, this article brings discussion, planning and didactic material to be worked on in the classroom through LI, based on the sociability and protagonism of students to show the importance of contextualized language teaching and to demonstrate that through the English language we are able to learn something that will be used in real life, giving meaning to language learning and mobilizing knowledge from the world.
