Os gêneros textuais e o ensino da leitura e da escrita na EJA

Abstract

This paper deals with the theme of literacy in the context of Youth and Adult Education - EJA. It sought to analyze how textual genres are included in the process of teaching reading and writing in an EJA class. This research has the characteristics of a case study, in which the work of literacy developed by a teacher, from a private institution, was the core of the observations of classes and from which the reflections about the use of the textual genres in the teaching of language . Soares (1998), Marcuschi (2002) and Santos (2006) are some of the fundamental theorists that were used to discuss and conceptualize the investigated phenomenon. The results point out some theoretical and methodological conflicts that arise in the teacher 's attempt to approach her practice of literacy theories, which, although very subtly, proposes a dialogue on social and functional aspects of texts.
