A LITTLE ABOUT ME

 

A little about me

I am Giselda Costa. I have a PhD in Linguistics from the Federal University of Pernambuco- Brazil / Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, University of Coimbra – Portugal. Currently doing Masters at the Linguistics Center at the State University of Piaui – Brazil. I'm currently developing a project for teachers who work in basic education with needy students in the city of Teresina- Piaui- Brazil. The ItinerantLiteracy Pr#ject aims to plan visits to schools to help language teachers on various topics, including: how to work with students with hearing or visual problems in teaching languages using some technologies, how to work with FakeNews in a mother tongue and foreign language classroom and how to explore critical visual literacy (images/video clips) in a language classroom.

We are also developing several activity designers to improve language skills and critical thinking about the environment. According to The International Solid Waste Association (ISWA) that in Brazil, about 2 million tons of waste will stop in the oceans every year. See an example of activities, in addition, I have already built a basic English course for students, with the aim of improving the language barrier, such as: instrumental English course, conversational English course. I was coordinator of secondary education, organizer of academic events, develop a web page/blogs and participated in the VET Teacher for the Future course at the University of Applied Sciences – HAMK, Finland.
