The importance of english from an interdisciplinary perspective applied to primary education

Abstract

This study is dedicated to analyzing the teaching of English as a foreign language combined with the mother tongue in an interdisciplinary approach with the content of other disciplines in an attempt to mitigate the obstacles faced. It includes a literature review, followed by observation sessions in an English language teaching project at a private school in the interior of Espírito Santo, with the aim of verifying the use of interdisciplinarity with other content and the perception of students and teachers, which was then compared with research into L2 teaching in public schools. It looked at gamification as a working methodology capable of arousing students' interest and promoting greater retention and understanding of the content being taught.
