Competência comunicativa escrita na escola

Abstract

In this article, we aim to reflect on the communicative competence in writing at school. For this, we weave considerations about conceptions such as linguistic competence, communicative competence in order to reach a conception of communicative competence in writing; although these linguistic phenomena each preserve their own identities, we understand that they are interrelated. For this discussion, we draw on views of researchers such as Koch and Favero, Marcuschi, Kleiman, among others. With respect to this issue, we also discuss conceptions of literacy and of “lettering”, in order to reveal the reach of these phenomenona in the educational environment. Finally, we discuss some real situations of the use of writing to show contexts of social practices of “lettering” and its relationship with the school environment. Therefore, it is clear that the school should consider the previous knowledge of the child, who is a participant in writing situations, this involves considering what the child already knows due to their world knowledge, which is essential to their learning.
