This research deals with the creation of a didactic proposal for the teaching-learning
process of the Spanish Language, focusing on the development of oral skills and critical
thinking, in an integrated manner. That said, we developed we developed a didactic
proposal using Digital Storytelling as an educational technology and based on a
discussion about racism and gender, in an attempt to address Contemporary Cross-Cutting
Topics, specifically, the themes of Citizenship, Civics and Multiculturalism. The proposal
is divided into four phases: setting, questioning, knowledge organization and knowledge
application, adapted from the Three Pedagogical Moments by Delizoicov, Angotti and
Pernambuco (2011) and Critical Applied Linguistics, proposed by Pennycook (2001,
2006). The methodological procedures adopted involve research of an applied nature,
with a qualitative approach of a descriptive nature, using strategic action research as a
method (Franco, 2005). The instruments used for data collection were the conversation
wheel, audio recording, teacher observation and questionnaire. Data analysis was
supported by the content analysis method (Bardin, 2011). The proposal was applied and
evaluated by 12 students, from the Medium Level Technical Course in Sales, from the
Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Amazonas, Campus Humaitá,
in the discipline of Spanish Language. The results reveal that the proposal contributed to
the development of oral skills in terms of pronunciation and vocabulary, as well as other
language skills such as reading and listening comprehension. The proposal also
contributed to the development of critical thinking skills such as the reconstruction of the
world view, respect for others, the development of critical awareness. In addition to these,
the results demonstrate an improvement in interest in the discipline and in research,
encouraging the exposure of thoughts, feelings, emotions and awakening students'
curiosity. Through this research, a Didactic Guide was created as an educational product,
with guidelines for Spanish teachers in basic education, so that they can work with
students' everyday topics in an integrated way with the syllabus of the discipline.
