SUMMARY:

This research focuses on the Literacy Project (PL) teaching tool, which, based on students' interest in social issues, aims to develop situated reading and writing practices. Given the principle that the school is the primary agency for literacy (Kleiman, 1995), it is essential to direct pedagogical action toward meaningful learning in which reading and writing are linked to concrete contexts of interpersonal relationships. Given the environmental issues, the students were interested in participating in a PL aimed at addressing the lack of adequate basic sanitation services in their municipality. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to investigate the impact of PLs on the development of reading and writing skills and the formation of critical individuals who play an active role in society. As methodological procedures, we adopted the precepts of action research guided by Thiollent (1986) and the qualitative data investigation approach postulated by Bogdan and Biklen (1994). Theoretically, we rely on Literacy Studies, more specifically, with regard to PL, we adopted the contributions of Kleiman (1995, 2005, 2007, 2016), Oliveira; Tinoco; Santos (2014), Oliveira (2016), Santos (2012), Santos (2020, 2024), and Santos Marques (2016). We base our Multiple Literacies on the foundations of Rojo (2009, 2012) and Oliveira (2010). Regarding discursive genres, we anchor ourselves in the postulates of Bakhtin (2003). The research was conducted in an 8th-grade class – final years – at Santa Terezinha State School, located on the outskirts of the municipality of São João do Sabugi, Rio Grande do Norte. The corpus of analysis consisted of material generated through discussion groups, interviews, observations, and field notes, texts produced by the students, and image recordings. The discussions highlight the relevance of the interventions carried out through the PL, which enabled the redefinition of teaching practice and the connection of school knowledge to the students' socially constructed knowledge. The students, in turn, were able to experience concrete situations of language use, as well as demonstrate progress in reading and writing, in addition to greater autonomy and engagement in language use, fostering a better understanding of social issues and their potential changes.
