NEWS IN BLOGS: A TOOL FOR TEACHING THE STANDARD FORM OF THE PORTUGUESE LANGUAGE
Blog. News. Standard Portuguese.
In Portuguese language classes, mainly in which we work on text production, we observe that the students encountered difficulties in writing, and how to write, because there is often no context that guides and facilitates writing and provides the use of the standard Portuguese form. We propose, then, the production of news in a blog, to associate the pleasure of students in the use of digital tools with the need to use an appropriate form. The research will be developed in a class of 9th grade students from a state school of Fortaleza / CE. Methodologically, it is based on the research of Gil (1999); Ibiapina (2016); Thiollent (2011), with a qualitative approach in the construction of data proposed by Bogdan and Biklen (1994), and through a didactic sequence, based on Dolz, Noverraz and Schneuwly (2004). The texts published by the students on the blog will compose the corpus of this research, following the steps of the procedural writing proposed by White and Arndt (1995), and theoretical framework in the concepts of Neves (2002), Antunes (2007) and Bakhtin (2003), in addition to the guidelines contained in the BNCC. The objective of this research is the attempt to, through the use of media tools, motivate the act of writing in students and discuss characteristics of the news genre in the classroom, thus expanding knowledge about their social function, their context of production, its compositional organization and its linguistic marks. In addition to providing the development of writing practice, we hope to help students recognize the importance of grammatical categories, and their use in different recording situations.
