Uma proposta de leitura com o gênero textual crônica no ensino de língua portuguesa

Abstract

This intervention work presents a reading proposal with the chronic textual genre elaborated with the intention of encouraging the students of a class of the 9th grade to appreciate the reading and to talk about it, since most of them, in this stage of Basic Education, Presents difficulty in reading, understanding and producing texts. In this way, the research exposes some interventions to minimize this problem with the application of pedagogical strategies directed to readings through Didactic Sequences (SD), using as methodological resources some chronicles. We chose to work on the chronic genre, since the National Curriculum Parameters (PCN) of Portuguese Language (2001) suggest a work with privileged literary genres for the practice of reading and writing texts. In this perspective, the present study has, as a general objective, to reflect on the difficulties of reading and comprehension of texts by Primary School students, in addition to investigating how the chronic textual genre can favor the development of student reading competence through Diversified activities. For this, the work was based on theoretical references directed to the reading and production of the text as Koch (2009) and Villardi (1999) that focus on the importance of the interaction author-text-reader and Antunes (2009), among others that emphasize the Textual genres as a starting point for the teaching of the mother tongue and the acquisition of the process of reading and understanding texts; Bakhtin (1997) and Marcuschi (2008) on genders in social interaction; Dolz and Schneuwly (2004) who defend a proposal of teaching-learning centered in the textual genres, considering the language an instrument of knowledge construction. Also, it can be mentioned that Solé (1998) states that it is possible to use several reading strategies in the classroom, making it an essential resource for acquiring knowledge. Regarding the methodology, the research is inserted in a qualitative approach, based on the theory of Triviños (1987) that see this type of research as a process that develops in dynamic interaction, constantly reformulating. It was from this reformulation that the construction of a book entitled Chronicles of the world (in) real: the quotidian in the literary narrative constituted with the productions written by the students. This product was not foreseen at the beginning of this dissertation, but outlined between teacher and students in the Portuguese Language classes, through SD workshops. In this sense, it was concluded that pedagogical strategies and interventions, which focused on the chronic textual genre within the conception of language as an interactional activity, contributed to increase students' motivation to read and produce texts related to this genre. Thus, the practice of teaching Portuguese Language, with textual genres, specifically, the chronic as a literary narrative, can be a facilitator for the improvement of reading and textual comprehension, since it is possible to expand the student's knowledge regarding the characteristics Structural, linguistic and sociodiscursive of a certain genre, and at the same time motivate him to read.
