Abstract

This dissertation is the result of a literature research supported for the contributions of Textual Linguistics and Enunciative Studies (Bakhtin, 1999; Marcuschi, 2008 e 2009) as well as literacy studies (Tfouni, 1995; 2008; 2012), Street (2014) and in the Socio-Discursive Interctionism, specially in Schneuwly and Dolz (2004) and Bazerman (2011 e 2015). In this studies, using the principles of research-action (THIOLLENT,1997; ABDALA, 2005), we have searched for the theoretical basis required to the formulation of a didactic proposal that contemplates the teaching of the academic genres, more specifically the scientific pôster as a literacy tool in Portuguese classes, in the final years of Elementary School. The research has as main lócus a state school in the municipality of Catu, Bahia, Brazil, and the research subjects were 7th grade students. In order to achieve the goals, there were applied thematic reading projects with the purpose of taking students to: 1) develop autonomy and critical competence in their writing productions through the reading and analysis of several texts; 2) produce and apply in the local community survey questionnaires refering to the research theme and 3) produce na academic pôster according to the structure of the genre with a view to disseminating research results in scientific events locally and in the state. Through this experience, we can highlighted as principal gains: improving the reading of academic genres and reconition of their characteristics; improve in the coordination between different genres; development of the capacity of reality observation and authorial speech by students.
