This article presents a pedagogical practice that proposes the comprehension and production of texts in the English language discipline, in virtual environments, with the use of applications for smartphones, in an interactive way, among the students of the State School Comendador Albino Souza Cruz, in the city of Rolante, south Brazil. For the development of activities, we questioned how to build texts and at the same time provide learning opportunities using the applications for mobile devices. The study is carried out by means of the action research methodology, with the general objective of presenting a proposal for understanding and producing text, in benefit of the development of language communication skills. The results showed that the production of digital text on a shared platform contributes to cooperative training, because as one learns, the other visualizes the text and also makes use of this new knowledge. We conclude that it is necessary to focus the discussion on the learning that is aimed at emerging pedagogies, and on the impact that these can have on the development of skills for the 21st century.
