Ampliação dos letramentos através de atividades de leitura, escrita e oralidade dentro e fora do contexto escolar: percepções com enfoque em um relato de passeio

Abstract

The research arose due to the concern of a teacher who has worked at the Basic School for many years, regarding to her students learning to read and write. On the other hand, the perception that, like her, many language professionals are looking for strategies and methodologies that can make students increasingly literate. From this perspective, with this work, we aim to present a research that seeks to promote and expand literacy in the school context. This is a research from the perspective of Literacy Studies (Kleiman, 2005) and is configured as qualitative research, which can be stipulated as action research (Thiollent, 1988). The research participants were 6th year students from a state school, located in Caldas Novas, Goiás, and the theme was around local tourism, the proposal for reading and writing practices through interviews, reports and podcasts with varied moments that involved reading, writing and speaking, inside and outside the school, considering that a tour of the city was experienced in two tourist attractions. Some examples of discursive genres that were mobilized throughout the development of the research were posters, folders, billboards, advertisements, menus and interviews, among others. After all the experiences with discursive genres, the students were instructed to produce, tour reports and podcasts. To analyze these reports, we prioritized looking for which literacies the students were able to mobilize or expand. We noticed that most of them managed to expand their literacy by experiencing language practices, as they developed reading and writing activities within the social context, therefore it made sense to them. In addition to the research results, we also hope that the applied proposal constitutes an important contribution for Portuguese Language teachers in Elementary School II and may it serve as base material for other teachers who intend to develop practical and theoretical work from the perspective of literacy.
