Abstract

This article is about an experience report in the activities of the Tirocínio Docente discipline, of the Doctorate in Linguistics course, of a Higher Education Institution, of the public network of the State of Bahia. The Teaching Internship took place in the first semester of 2021, a period marked by the pandemic associated with COVID-19, in which restrictive measures were implemented, following national and international recommendations on sanitary security and humanitarian protection, in order to combat the spread of the new coronavirus. Among them, in addition to physical isolation, there was the suspension of face-to-face classes at universities as well as schools. With the closing of these places, the main concern was to keep the classes, thus, we resorted to the modality of emergency remote teaching. In this scenario, teachers and students experienced significant changes that took place suddenly in the teaching-learning process. One of them was facing challenges regarding the stages of observation, planning and pedagogical practice during the supervised internship, as we can mention, the physical distance between students and teacher. Therefore, in this period, which we will call the "new normal", in which we seek social reorganization, as a result, in order to preserve the exchange of knowledge combined with good interaction between professor, intern and students, the use of Digital Information Technologies was favorable. and Communication (TDIC), of virtual learning platforms and social networks, in order to contribute to the formation of autonomous, critical and creative people. On the other hand, there was an unequal relationship of its use.
