Infográfico: a popularidade do gênero e sua abordagem escolar na perspectiva de um livro didático de língua portuguesa

Abstract

The infographic gender has gained both social space and status among readers. It is noticed that the confluence of verbal of verbal and non-verbal (imagetic) modes is one of the reasons for its popularity. We aim todetermine the school age teenagers' interest in this genre and in what contexts they access it; check the didactic and methological guidelines for the treatment of this gender, while multimodal text, proposed by the National Curricular Parameters for Portuguese Language (PCN-LP) and analyze how these guidelines are materialized in a textbook of junior high school, recommended by the National Plan of the Textbook (PNLD) in 2014, related to the reading strategies focusing to promote the Visual Literacy. We conclude that the textbook examined does not include comprehension strategies of visual relationships and its critical analysis (MUFFOLETTO, 2001; CALLOW, 2005; KRESS, VAN LEEUWEN, 1996), suggesting the review of this material, as well as the research and inclusion of reading strategies addressing the dimension of the multimodal texts.
