Os gêneros textuais orais na escola: o debate como um gênero oral público

Abstract

This research aims at investigating how a systematic approach in relation to text genres can contribute to the development of orality practices at school.This study relies on some basic concepts from genre theory, such as the Bakhtin sociointeractionist perspective and the discussion about pedagogical implications as discussed by The Genebra Group (mainly Dolz & Schneuwly). We also investigated some studies on the importance of the oral public for the learning and teaching process of Portuguese. Taking as the basis these theoretical perspectives, a pedagogical proposal for the debate genre was delineated and, from acquired data after the didactics sequence application, it was possible to observe that a systematic work in the classroom with the oral genres, in a suitable approach, can effectively bring very positive results.
