TONELLI, Elizangela; SOUZA, Carlos Henrique Medeiros de  and  ALMEIDA, Fabrício Moraes de. The teaching practises in virtual learning environments in dialogicity context. OBS* [online]. 2015, vol.9, n.1, pp.149-158. ISSN 1646-5954.

In Distance Learning, the communication process is basically done by writing in Virtual Learning Environments (VLE´s) through synchronous and asynchronous technological tools. These tools are the links between the teacher and student and when used as motivational and affective actions they become the most important support to the success of Distance Learning courses. This study aims to identify some aspects of written communication within the forums that compromise affectivity and motivation of students, considering them as essential factors for learning. Based on theories and analyses of dialogues occurred in questions´ forums, the results  indicate  that the teacher who acts as tutor in Distance Learning  should not focus only on conceptual and reflexive contents , but also in the emotional actions because what matters in this process is that the educational activities , as well as both communication and interaction, are to be permeated by the feeling of belonging, respect, sympathy and appreciation, in addition to acceptance and understanding.

Keywords : Distance Learning; Teaching practice; Written Communication; Dialogicity.
