O texto literário ao serviço do ensino do Português em contextos multilingues

Abstract

Portuguese schools have been receiving more and more foreign students, making it a challenge for teachers to prepare and to create Portuguese classes that enhance the development of language skills of Portuguese students, but also of foreign students. In the elementary school, the use of literary texts to explore vocabulary and promote the development of writing skills can be an integrating and relevant teaching methodology. The investigation consisted of a case study carried out with a convenience sample, consisting of students from the 2nd grade, in which the research teacher exercised teaching functions in the academic year of 2022/2023. The intervention corresponded to the teaching of Portuguese based on guided reading of selected literary texts. After the stories, activities were developed to understand and interpret the text, in oral and written form; explicit vocabulary teaching activities were developed; along with writing activities. The main objective of the investigation was to assess whether the mentioned didactical proposal could have a preponderant role in the development of students' writing skills.
