Teaching oral skills in a distance learning mo<strong>de</strong> is certainly a challenge. It involves careful planning, selection and<br />

creation of materials, in the hope that stu<strong>de</strong>nts’ motivation is kept high, and that they are provi<strong>de</strong>d with relevant<br />

opportunities to <strong>de</strong>velop their listening and speaking skills. In this roundtable, the presenters discuss different<br />

moments of the planning process, material selection and creation, and implementationoflessons for the discipline<br />

The field of L2 Teaching and Learning has been broa<strong>de</strong>ning in the last quarter century. Such diversification is mostly<br />

due to the fast pace of the technological advances. Accordingly, we are watching a massive proliferation of<br />

computer-based tools and resources which focus on aiding individuals interested in learning a foreign language,<br />

especially regarding the <strong>de</strong>velopment of aural skills. Recent studies on L2 have shownthe effectiveness of these tools<br />

in teaching\learning foreign languages (PAIVA, 1999a,1999b, 2001; SALABERRY, 2001; BRANDL, 2002; STEPP-<br />

GREANY, 2002; ZHAO,2003; YOUNG, 2003; LEFFA, 2006; SIMSEK, 2007, STOCKWELL, 2007, in MACHADO, 2008).<br />

Nevertheless, when <strong>de</strong>aling with distance learning, concerns about the quality of computer-based resources<br />

represent a major issue in the process of building and selecting supporting materials. It seems that success or failure<br />

of the stu<strong>de</strong>nts will <strong>de</strong>pend greatly on the actual efficiency of the resources ma<strong>de</strong> available to them. Providing<br />

stu<strong>de</strong>nts with input (KRASHEN,1982) and transforming it into intake is crucial to <strong>de</strong>velop aural abilities<br />

(BROWN,1994 ), and this has been the topic of a number of studies in the field of second language acquisition<br />

(RICHARDS, 1983; DUNKEL,1991; LUND,1990 in BROWN,1994).Therefore, the focus of this presentation is to explain<br />

how the selection of aural/oral input resources has been ma<strong>de</strong> in the discipline Compreensão e Produção Oral em<br />

Língua Inglesa ofthe <strong>Letras</strong>-Inglês naModalida<strong>de</strong> a Distância Program offered on a distance learning mo<strong>de</strong> by <strong>UFSC</strong>,<br />

as well as what is taken into account when searching, selecting, <strong>de</strong>signing and adapting the material in or<strong>de</strong>r to fulfill<br />

the needs of our target audience (prospective teachers of English as a foreign language in Brazil). keywords: listening<br />
