O PAPEL DAS ANTOLOGIAS NA CONSTRUÇÃO CRÍTICO-REFLEXIVA DOS ESTUDANTES:

uma análise a partir da perspectiva linguístico-discursiva

Abstract

This article aims to investigate the Portuguese language class, analyzing the role of Anthologies in the critical-reflective construction of students. In this context, the analysis is theoretically grounded in linguistic-discursive studies of language teaching. Thus, the aim is to construct a historical trajectory of the discipline of Portuguese Language (LP) in Brazil, discussing the role of the textbook and the teacher in the language class, as well as listing the changes in LP teaching after the reform movement that began around the 1980s. Regarding the methodology, it is based on the model of text analysis and description proposed by Bronckart (1999) and reformulated by Machado and Bronckart (2009). In this way, during the analysis procedure, not only the identification of the context of textual production is considered, but also the organization of the text analyses, which are distributed as follows: textual infrastructure, enunciative mechanisms, and syntactic-semantic functions. In this sense, the aim is to analyze the conceptions of language and the selection of teaching objects present in the Anthology written by José Baptista da Luz in 1963, the corpus of the research, evaluating its contribution to the development of linguistic-discursive abilities and the construction of students' critical thinking and citizenship. Through the analysis, it is possible to observe that the didactic manual focuses on grammatical and prescriptive teaching, thus not stimulating discursive aspects, nor even the critical sense of the students.
