RESUMO

The present work considers the Internet impact as a source of classroom material and as means of foreign language teaching on the creation process of pedagogical tasks and their execution by the Pre-Teachers in a Language Course. The main goal is to identify the tasks similarities and differences as well identify a pattern on the Pre-service Teachers? practice. As a specific goal this work aims to find out the contradictions established through the activity ?create pedagogical tasks to be accomplished using different artifacts? in an activity system. In addition, we also observed the professor?s interference on this activity system. To reach these goals we used theories that deal with the necessity of teaching undergraduate students how to be reflective. We also used CALL theory to show how important it is to Pre-service Teachers understand the teaching and learning processes mediated by computers. Finally we used the Activity Theory specifically referring to the contradiction principle to help us understand what happens in the activity system when we change the artifact. The dada analysis from an exploratory methodology showed us that the Pre-service Teachers created different pedagogical tasks according to the artifacts used. The professor?s intervention, influenced by the artifact used, helped the Pre-service Teachers develop a reflective posture about their pedagogical choices, practices and self evaluation. We can say that the contradictions in the activity system occurred in four levels corresponding to studies completed by Engeström (1987). The results showed that when you modify the artifact, you can cause tensions in the system that can also modify the elements
