From interactivity to passivity


Observers have noted that the Internet is moving away from its original model of cooperative communication based on exchange, and tending towards the logic of a mass broadcasting media, resulting in a concentration of producers and the progressive disappearance of interactivity. This tendency towards passivity in the use of the new media can, we believe, be counterbalanced effectively in an approach to FLT which encourages cooperative, collaborative procedures, where teachers abandon traditional roles and act more as guides and mentors, exploring the new media themselves as learners and thus acting as role models for their learners. Case studies show that there is closer interaction between teacher and students when the new media are employed. Language learners who have experienced this kind of approach are most likely to transfer the skills acquired to their daily practice in the use of the new media in the mother tongue. And, above all, this experience should lead to the development of a “user culture”, implying appropriate behaviour, which respects other people as well as the diversity of their opinions.

Comentário do professor

Media é, de fato, o plural de medium, palavra de origem latina que significa “meio” ou “meio de comunicação”.


No contexto do enunciado, media refere‑se aos «meios» utilizados para difusão (por exemplo, televisão, rádio, Internet) — ou seja, múltiplas formas de comunicação.


Do ponto de vista gramatical, quando se usa media tradicionalmente exige‑se concordância no plural (ex.: “the media are important”). Contudo, o uso contemporâneo às vezes trata‑a como substantivo coletivo/uncountable; ainda assim, sua função etimológica e mais precisa é a de plural de medium.
