Speaker: Rejane Gonçalves is a master in Applied Linguisitcs and  English Teacher at UFT-Araguaína-TO

Resume: presented the blogosphere and how its several resources can be used to promote the English language learning. For that, I propose an itinerary through some blogs, as well as the observation of several available resources in the blogosphere, among them: the postage of written texts, images and videos and the comments that can be done concerning such postages. I hope, through this plenary talk, to show the possibilities of English language learning that can be offered by the blogosphere, besides facilitating the development of more autonomous and motivated learners.
