the impact of digital resources on teaching and the tradition of a linguistic heritage

Abstract

Since their arrival in Brazil, Pomeranians have lived in communities far from large centers, which probably contributed to the preservation of the Pomeranian Language, their most valuable intangible cultural heritage. This study investigates the use of technological resources in teaching the Pomeranian Language and analyzes teachers’ perceptions about their effectiveness in student learning. A questionnaire was applied to Pomeranian language teachers in Santa Maria de Jetibá - ES, collecting data on their teaching experience, frequency of use of technology and their opinions on the effectiveness of these resources. Half of the teachers have less than five years of experience, while the majority use technological resources moderately. As for effectiveness, half believe that these resources improve learning, while others say that it depends on the context. There is a division in perceptions, suggesting that there is still much to reflect on the integration of technologies in the preservation of this language.
