Estudos de gêneros emergentes em aulas de português como estratégias de ensino.

Abstract

This study aims to present a teaching and learning strategy from a selection of text genres emerging on the Internet, considering the specific language of the medium the Internet slang compared to previous genres of new technologies. This strategy is based on a sequence of classes, the first ones consisting of on-site observation, for third graders (high school) of a state school in Marechal Cândido Rondon. The purpose is to develop and observe, during the teaching internship period and based on the current socio-historical context of new technologies, an educational strategy that considers the language in its various uses. To achieve this goal, the theoretical and conceptual framework of this research comes from Sociolinguistics, for the analysis of linguistic diversity, and from the studies on the concepts and use of text genres in the classroom. These two theoretical bases are complementary and show the variety of the everyday language, highlighting differences and similarities between the texts, the intentions, the situation of production and the characteristics of the medium, in sum, the features that demonstrate that language is not univocal and static, but rather dynamic, changeable and socially constructed due to the interaction of its speakers. Under this prerogative, an interpretative study is carried out, based on microethnography, which permits to explore the participant observation in classroom. It is expected that this study may be seen as a teaching and learning practice of what can be done when dealing scientifically with a research object on written texts, regarding the approach of emerging text genres in the classroom, in order to show the students the different contexts of language use and its adequacy to the communicative situations. The corpora for analysis consists of the entire sequence of classes and the students text productions, based both on online environment through e-mail and on an argumentative letter, a genre already studied by the students and that constitutes, in this proposal, a way to observe the students' comprehensions related to the topic Internet and to examine traces of the Internet slang whether they exist or not in the students formal writing. At the conclusion of this study, it is believed that creating an alternative strategy for teaching and learning based on emerging texts in relation to the nonemerging ones may, as a pedagogical practice, help students understand the standard language variety and respect the linguistic diversity.
