Interviews / entrevistas sobre a vida é uma atividade de Língua Inglesa para o 7º ano que trabalha a comunicação oral a partir de situações de entrevista, levando os estudantes a formular perguntas, compreender respostas e descobrir informações sobre as histórias de vida dos colegas. A proposta combina leitura, interpretação, vocabulário, organização de perguntas e interação em inglês, em um material pronto para usar, com tudo para sala de aula.
Ao longo da atividade, os alunos analisam uma entrevista-modelo, identificam informações importantes, reconhecem perguntas adequadas e respeitosas, organizam etapas de uma entrevista e, por fim, entrevistam um colega. As informações coletadas são utilizadas para produzir um pequeno perfil em inglês, fortalecendo a escuta atenta, a oralidade e o uso significativo da língua em situações reais de comunicação.
