Mangá e o ensino da língua portuguesa: aprendizagem com ludicidade

Abstract

The current work aims to contribute with the studies about the Manga potentiality to didactic and pedagogical activities development in the context of Portuguese teaching. Particularly, it is proposed characterizing the Manga as a discursive genre at the language teaching and learning process, aside from the description of their historical process and arrival at Brazil. As research methodology it was used the literature review, the search was grounded in survey in books, articles and thesis and dissertation basis. The chosen texts were based on the Manga as didactic strategies and driven force for Portuguese teaching. The study demonstrated that Manga has particular characteristics that, indeed, strengthen the education and boosting the Portuguese learning. Manga propitiates content leaning since the basic grammatical teaching until the comic reading itself, passing by their multi semiotic features of literature genre. Besides, by using the Manga at the Portuguese classroom, the professor teaches the language, prioritizing the process of playfulness, as it creates an atmosphere that is propitious to learning. Reading results indicate the efficiency of using Manga in Portuguese classroom. As it is considered funny, the Manga turns the lecture more significant and, consequently, more attractive, entertaining and participative. In the other hand, the results point to a shiny application. The manga as language teaching resource is mostly unknown. Furthermore, there’s still some fearfully and orthodoxy perception from most teachers about the efficacy of their use. These aspects contribute to lack of the methodology in classrooms and the neglect of the field that are comic books and their potentialities as language teaching materials at Brazilian schools.
