(2013-06) SILVA, Walkyria Alydia Grahl Passos Magno e; DANTAS, Larissa; MATOS, Maria Clara Vianna Sá e; MARTINS, Marja Ferreira
Another agent has appeared in the foreign languages teaching and learning context in the recent years: the language learning adviser (LLA). A working definition of this construct is presented in this text. The roles of this agent are shown and compared to the roles played by the teacher. The place where language advising happens in the institutions is presented and the best practices are described. This experiment was developed in a university in Northern Brazil and it involved teachers and students of foreign languages. The data comes from English language advisers and students. Some of the evidences of the impact of this professional on students' autonomization and motivation is described. Finally, a counseling experience conducted through technological resources, when face to face contact was not possible, is shown.

Autonomia parkatêjê para preservar sua língua nativa: me ikwy tekjê ri
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-04) SILVA, Maria de Nazaré Moraes da; SILVA, Marília de Nazaré Ferreira; SILVA, Walkyria Alydia Grahl Passos Magno e
After the 1988 Constitution, formal education in Brazil suffered many changes. Nowadays, schools tend to adapt their actions to the current educational paradigm, and indigenous communities take a stand in this matter. One said community is the Parkatêjê, inhabitants of the Mãe Maria Reservation Area, in Pará. This paper, based on published materials, gathers information about the initiative of this community to preserve its culture. It also brings data about the implementation of formal education among indigenous people and about autonomy, a phenomenon related to current pedagogical practices. This text highlights the fact that Indigenous Education has not yet matured with regards to the preservation of native languages and suggests that ethnographical studies should be carried out in indigenous schools. The text also aims at helping to spread the word about the Parkatêjê experience in valuing its own culture.

A model for the enhancement of autonomy
(2008) SILVA, Walkyria Alydia Grahl Passos Magno e
This article presents an innovative model for the enhancement of learner autonomy and shows some of its results and challenges. The model entails investigation of problematic areas of individual students' foreign language learning processes, identification of their privileged learning styles, use of technological tools to improve learning autonomy, development of a wider range of language learning strategies, and implementation of self-monitoring and self-evaluation routines. This model has been applied for the last three years with undergraduate students, earning a B.A. in Modern Languages (English, French or German), who will become foreign language teachers in elementary and high schools in Brazil. Results are threefold: first, the model has proven its efficiency in providing scaffolding for students autonomous language learning; second, autonomy developing experiences lived by subjects who are studying to be teachers can be mirrowed in their future professional lives with their own students; and thirdly, data derived from the participants in the study can shed some light into the variety of ways people learn in the local context.

Trajetórias de aprendizagem, aconselhamento linguageiro e teoria da complexidade
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-09) SILVA, Walkyria Alydia Grahl Passos Magno e; MATOS, Maria Clara Vianna Sá e; RABELO, Jhonatan Allan de Andrade
Since the founding text linking complexity with foreign languages learning (LARSEN-FREEMAN, 1997), this theme has been present in researches in several countries. However, few studies reporting experiments described under this paradigm were published, explaining the success or failure in students´ trajectories. This text aims at showing how this can happen in language learners´ stories of TEFL undergraduates in a university in Northern Brazil. In language advising sessions, the authors, who are all advisors and researchers, identify bifurcation points, attractor basins, synergetic or entropic episodes in students´ trajectories. Results show how the interference of the advisor, as another agent in the system, can alter the learning process.
