Engenharia de Prompt como prática de letramento digital

a cocriação de atividades em línguas estrangeiras com inteligência artificial generativa e suas implicações para a formação docente

Abstract

The emergence of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) imposes new demands on teaching competencies, especially in Foreign Language Education. This article argues that the practice of Prompt Engineering in the co-creation of listening comprehension activities in foreign languages constitutes a complex and multifaceted digital literacy event. We analyze how this practice involves skills such as critical analysis of GAI tools, instructional planning, precise linguistic formulation, evaluation of AI-generated responses, and pedagogical adaptation. Based on references on digital literacies, we discuss the implications of this new practice for the continuing education of foreign language teachers. We suggest that training in prompt engineering that is both critical and pedagogically oriented is essential for educators to use GAI effectively and ethically, transforming it into an ally in the production of didactic resources for the development of listening comprehension in the foreign language teaching-learning process.
