A apropriação dos gêneros textuais: concepções, diretrizes e expectativas na alfabetização de jovens e adultos

Abstract

Taking into consideracition that the written language is a means of interaction among people and that it is in that perspective that it should be taught in literacy classes, the main objective of this work was to investigate how it is conceived in the teaching-learning process of writting skills in youth and adult’s literacy programmer . To this end, we analysed the curricular proposal, the textbook used in youth and adult’s literacy classes and the teacher’s manual, as well as questionnaires answered by students and teachers. As theorical support for the alphabetization process, we researched works by Ferreiro (1983) and follwers, Tfouni (1988) and Soares (2000) sewed as theorical basis for the issues pertaining literacy. Bakthin (2000) was the basis for the central notion of textual genre. In general lines, we noticed that the teaching writing skills happens permeated by the following problems: a) despite the fact that curricular proposal and the teacher’s manual present a conception of writing based on social-cognitive aspects, this approach is not present in the in-training sessions or the writing activities carried out in the classroom; b) textual genre definition as well as the designation of the various textual genres required in classroom activities is still very unstable; c) the textual genres proposed in the writing activities do not fulfill the student’s learning expectations ; d) there is a discrepancy between what the teacher says he/she is working in the classroom and what the student says he/she is learning
