O USO DOS GÊNEROS TEXTUAIS COMO FERRAMENTA PARA O LETRAMENTO EM AULAS DE LÍNGUA PORTUGUESA NA EDUCAÇÃO DE JOVENS E ADULTOS

Abstract

The present work is the result of a bibliographical survey in books and scientific articles, in order to seek alternatives that enable the teaching of Portuguese Language in a satisfactory and productive way for EJA students. Its objective was to assist the continuing education of teachers to promote pedagogical practices that help in the development of literacy through textual genres in Portuguese Language classes in Youth and Adult Education (EJA). The emphasis of literacy falls on practices that depart from the students' reality and that help in the formation of their autonomy. For this, it is necessary that the Portuguese language classes are fundamentally through textual genres, thus attributing sense and contextual meaning to the different communication situations of the EJA student. In this teaching-learning movement, our pedagogical work was based on the discourse of the main subjects involved, teachers and students, bringing them closer to the teaching of textual genres focused on the reality experienced by students, thus making a meaningful learning experience that teaches adults through mechanisms that arouse interest and learning in Portuguese language classes. In this way, the school promotes a space for the student to interact with social reality with the aim of bringing to light the formation of literate, autonomous individuals capable of critically understanding social realities.
