Language teaching-learning using Zoom and Facebook: a possible reality

Abstract

The pandemic context has imposed on us an educational reality of paradigm transformation in a very short space of time. Almost at the speed of light, we had to make decisions that moved the structures of our pedagogical practice and our ways of engagement with our peers. Our professional and personal routines have changed drastically and, in this movement, inequalities have been opened up and realities have imposed on us from difficulties in accessing basic goods to emergency remote teaching, such as digital technologies and the Internet. This work is set to this reality and intends to present a proposal for the use of online platforms in foreign language courses developed in two Language Teaching-Learning Programs at the State University of Feira de Santana, in a context where access to quality internet is scarce. Consequently, we have demonstrated how Zoom and Facebook have been useful for us in this educational context.
