A utilização do lúdico como ferramenta pedagógica para ampliação do léxico e desenvolvimento das habilidades leitora e escritora

Abstract

The main objective of this work is to present a proposal of pedagogical intervention that uses games as a pedagogical tool to increase the lexicon based on a diagnosis made in a class of 8th year of Elementary School II. Consequently, develop the reading and writing skills, since the lexicon represents a basic component of the language, essential to the internal organization of texts and sociocommunicative activities. Our hypothesis is that the development of activities directed beyond the metalanguage and focused on games may lead these students to be into a process in which the most important is the construction of texts’ meanings enabling the improvement of competences between the reader and the writer. Thus, we intend methodologically to use the action research, using the theoreticalmethodological assumptions of the ethnographic research. The results of the diagnostic activities confirmed that one of the difficulties presented by the students in the written productions concerns the low lexical competence. Through the proposal of intervention with reflective activities provided by the pedagogical games we could verify throughout the process an increase of interest and motivation of the students to carry out the proposed activities. There was a significant improvement in the quality of student participation in the Portuguese language classes, a higher concentration and consequently a greater use of class time. In this way, we also highlight an improvement in the discipline due to the short time of idleness. At the end it was possible to verify that there was an increase in the lexical scope of the students, since they were able to use the words and expressions in other contexts which they dealt during the stages of the intervention.
