| description | The potential of mobile technology is being increasingly investigated. The advantages of these technologies go beyond the low-cost, high connectivity and portability. These are devices that can be accessed and used by students anywhere at any time, regardless of permissions teachers and educational institutions. Given this new situation, the purpose of this work is to report on an E-Mentoring Project which had the support of the WhatsApp application. By forming a group, students of Portuguese and German could practice language skills acquired in the classroom, interact about their daily lives in a foreign language and send messages and images files. In addition, students could count on the support of a virtual tutor and a teacher to be able to express in the target language, ask questions of grammar and vocabulary and still receive corrective feedback when requested. |

Na Didática de Línguas Estrangeiras, o potencial de tecnologias móveis vem sendo cada vez mais investigado. As vantagens dessas tecnologias vão além dos fatos de apresentarem baixo custo, alta conectividade e portabilidade. Trata-se de aparelhos que podem ser acessados e usados por alunos em qualquer lugar a qualquer hora, independente de permissões de professores e instituições de ensino. Diante desta nova situação, objetivase com este trabalho relatar sobre um Projeto de E-Tutoria que contou com o suporte do aplicativo WhatsApp. Através da formação de um grupo, alunos de um curso de Letras, Português-Alemão, puderam praticar conhecimentos linguísticos adquiridos em sala, interagir sobre seu cotidiano em língua estrangeira e enviar mensagens e arquivos de imagens. Além disso, os alunos puderam contar com o apoio de uma tutora virtual e de uma professora para conseguir se expressar na língua-alvo, tirar dúvidas de gramática e vocabulário e ainda receber feedback corretivo, quando solicitado. 2016-10-25 2022-03-18T19:16:37Z 2022-03-18T19:16:37Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artigo avaliado pelos Pares https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/entrelinguas/article/view/8493 10.29051/el.v2i2.8493 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/64530 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/entrelinguas/article/view/8493/5928 Copyright (c) 2016 Revista EntreLínguas application/pdf Universidade Estadual Paulista Revista EntreLinguas; v.2, n.2, jul./dez.
