A prática do interacionismo sociodiscursivo da língua portuguesa escrita : projeto de reescrita textual

Abstract

The difficulty in the production of written portuguese and constant demotivation of students to write has been a major concern of educators. We follow as theoretical foundation of the written portuguese language the socio-discursive interactionism theory approach by Bronckart and Bakhtin, the discourse genre according to Bakhtin and the theory of Habitus in Bourdieu's conception, intending to recognize written language in a concrete manifestation of the linguistic competence of students’ texts and social contexts. In this perspective we intend to analyze the practice and cognitive socio-discursive interactionist written portuguese language from the texts of high school students, and the rewriting of texts in accordance with the instructions given by the teacher. Knowing socio-discursive interactionism in practice, in textual productions of the students, was the great challenge of this research. Based on that it was verified that texts rewritten showed progress in several aspects, as some students excelled in questions expected by the teacher, while others remained attached to the first text without changing the structure or argument, limited to grammatical corrections only. No student dared to use a new argument, or even a new strategy in defense of the arguments proposed. The need is felt for new ways to direct the teacher in their textual corrections to motivate students and the students to interact with the teacher to consciously improve their textual productions.
