O discurso narrativo, seu componente avaliativo e a expressão do self em aulas de língua inglesa

Abstract

This work aims at approaching the interactional dimension of narrative discourse, specifically in the form of reports of personal experience. Guided by theoretical assumptions of Interactional Sociolinguistics, we turn mainly to its function to provide the reconfiguration of our multiple identities as social subjects even inserted in an institutional setting such as the classroom. We seek to demonstrate that, by its ambivalence, the narrative discourse not only can be used as a teaching tool to develop language skills but also as a language resource for social interaction applied by the participants of the interactional event known as Foreign Language lesson.
