REFLEXÕES SOBRE O ENSINO DE LÍNGUA MATERNA: A (NÃO) FORMAÇÃO DO ALUNO LEITOR E PRODUTOR DE TEXTOS-ENUNCIADO

Abstract

This paper provides an outline of dissertation research whose topic is the Portuguese class, focusing on factors that compromise the students' development as readers and producers of written texts-utterance in different genres.The objective was to identify reasons for the Portuguese classes not happening in the school under study, in terms of the teaching and learning of reading and written text production.The type of research was action research, anchored in an ethnographic study, and the data were generated in a state school in the city of São José/SC, in the Portuguese classes of one first-year high school group.With the Portuguese class having been designed as an event (GERALDI, 2010) and as a speech genre (MATENCIO, 2001), it follows that these classes did not happen in fact precisely because there is no engagement on the part of the students.
