A construção dos sentidos e o ensino da produção textual

Abstract

The teaching of textual production has been a major challenge to the teachers of Portuguese due to the great difficult that students demonstrate in the construction of his texts. Thus, this study aims to: 1) analyze the use of elements of referential cohesion by elementary school students in argumentative texts; 2) verify the contribution of those linguistics resources in the construction of the meaning in written texts and 3) examine the construction and the teaching in the Portuguese Language classes of the spoken text. For this purpose, we analyze four texts produced by private schools students, guiding us in the perspective of Text Linguistics. From this we made some critical reflections of the results obtained and we realise that by using the referential cohesion resources, the students make some inadequacies such as the repetition of the same lexical item and ambiguity of the anaphoric forms, typical marks of orality. But it is also possible to notice the adequate use of referential elements such as the ellipse and the synonymy. Finally, for the teaching of writing, specially the work with cohesion trying to eliminate marks of orality embedded in student writing, we propose the retextualization strategy as a way of improve the production of written text. For that, we use the didactic sequences as methodological procedure in order to use the writing classes as a way to make the students rethink the textual construction
