Artigo de opinião: Do ponto de vista à construção de identidades e letramento no ensino superior

Abstract

This research aims to deepen the debate on literacy in higher education, more specifically how the re-signification of textual structures takes place from the place of speech of each language user, analyzing the path of updating the discursive genre of opinion article and productions of higher education students, using Applied Linguistics (LA) as a theoretical approach. The productions analyzed are the results of a didactic sequence (SD) of the Discipline Reading and Text Production Practice, of students from the first period of the Social Work course in 2020, from Campus Graciosa, State University of Tocantins (UNITINS). It is intended, in this sense, to broaden the debate on appropriation and protagonism arising from studies on the opinion article genre from the experience of the class. It is, therefore, an ethnographic research, of an exploratory nature. The qualitative approach discusses relevant issues in social, political, cultural, environmental and ideological differences that permeate the language and the purpose of understanding the narratives of the statements and points of view of social actors about the local reality where each participant lives. The ethnographic type research is a research that “[...] dedicated to the treatment of the empirical and factual face of reality; produces and analyzes data, always proceeding through empirical and factual control” (DEMO, 2000, p. 21). As theoretical support, among the most used, we have: Fabrício (2006), Moita Lopes (2006), Rojo (2006), Kleiman (1995), Soares (2017), Marcuschi (2004).
