Teaching; Language; Discursive Genres; Integrated Teaching Activities.
This work was born from the reflections fostered in the classes of the Professional Master's Degree Program in Letters – PROFLETRAS, and from everyday experiences with the teaching of the mother tongue. Its objective is to propose a pedagogical practice to students of the 7th year of elementary school, based on activities that integrate orality, reading, writing and linguistic reflection, based on the study of discursive genres, in favor of the development of the ability to read, production and, consequently, the expansion of the possibilities of participation of individuals, in the different social fields in which they operate. The discursive genre is a complex semiotic instrument, which enables, simultaneously, the production and understanding of texts (oral and written), which enable human communication. Whether through communicative contexts or characteristics, texts differ from each other and are divided into genres. The study of these genres, in the classroom, allows the development of different language skills. This pedagogical proposal was thought, due to the fact that the current teaching model still prioritizes, in Portuguese classes, the contents of the normative grammar, using the text only as an anchor for the study of formal contents, denying the protagonism of social contexts and situations of communication present in the discursive genres. The theoretical basis of this work is highlighted by Bakhtin, Kleiman, Rojo, Antunes, Marcuschi and Moura, who, following Bakhtin's line of research, developed the study of ADIs (Integrated Didactic Activities of Orality, Reading, Writing and Linguistic Reflection). The research that we propose also considered a new element, in the current scenario of Brazilian education, the pandemic of COVID-19, which constitutes a challenge for teaching-learning by demanding behaviors and educational tools that are different from those commonly adopted by schools. The applicability of the project proved to be fruitful for the teaching-learning of the mother tongue, through discursive genres, as it contributed to the construction of knowledge based on the relationship between orality, reading, writing and linguistic reflection in real communicative situations. uses of language.
