Although repetition is at the core of many different approaches to language learning, either implicitly or not, using this pedagogic practice in the additional language classroom is still negatively perceived by some teachers (Bygate and Samuda, 2005). For contemporary research, on the other hand, the use of repetition is not incongruous with communicative additional language teaching approaches that bring the use of tasks to the forefront. The use of immediate repeated tasks can benefit learners because it allows the possibility of repeating slightly altered tasks in a meaningful way. Bearing this in mind, this paper describes three immediate repetition tasks that focus on the speaking skill aiming at developing both fluency and accuracy. All are inherently suited for the additional language classroom and can be easily adapted to better suit specific contexts.
***Ideias para integrar a repetição imediata de tarefas de forma significativa na aula de inglês como língua adicional: promoção da fluência***
Embora a repetição seja parte central de diversas distintas abordagens no aprendizado de línguas, implicitamente ou não, o uso dessa prática pedagógica na aula de língua adicional ainda é percebido de forma negativa por alguns professores (Bygate e Samuda, 2005). Por outro lado, em pesquisas contemporâneas, o uso da repetição não é contrário às abordagens comunicativas de ensino de línguas adicionais que privilegiam o uso de tarefas. Usar tarefas com repetição imediata pode vir a beneficiar o/a aprendiz ao permitir a possibilidade de repetir a tarefa parcialmente modificada de maneira significativa. Tendo isso em vista, são apresentadas três tarefas com repetição imediata que focam a habilidade oral com vistas a desenvolver tanto fluência quanto a acurácia. Essas tarefas são, por natureza, adequadas à sala de aula de língua adicional e podem ser facilmente adaptadas para atender contextos específicos.
PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Ensino baseado em tarefas; repetição de tarefa; tarefa oral; interação entre aprendizes; inglês como língua adicional.
