HQs digitais e o aprimoramento das capacidades de linguagem

Abstract

Providing practices that promote the improvement of language capacities of students who attend basic education in Brazil is a challenge for Portuguese teachers. Based on this reality, we raise the following question: how to use digital tools to produce comics in order to develop the students´ language capacities? To answer this question, we present data from an action research carried out by means of Workshops on Digital Literacies at a public school in Caucaia – Ceará, and also through reflections on this practice indicating a real possibility of the pedagogical use of this free tool, available on the web, as an important means to enhance the students´ language capacities. After the analysis of a corpus comprising the productions of 14 students, we have concluded that the interventions and the use of digital tools have led to the development of language capacities of the students who took part of the research.
