A leitura no gênero notícia no facebook

Abstract

This research aims to present proposals to develop the reading and interpretation skills of the genre, published on the social network Facebook. To achieve this purpose, it is based on the theoretical constructs of Textual Linguistics, with emphasis on its third phase, from on the perspectives of Koch (2009), Koch and Elias (2012), Bakhtin (1992, 2003); Marcuschi (2008), Cosson (2018), Solé (2008), among others. It is justified by the need to seek contribute to ease difficulties of reading the news genre of students of an eighth grade class of Elementary School, by means of an interventional proposal, so to make them apt to understand how news are built. We start from the hypothesis that the student can improve his reading competence if he can recognize the compositional structure of the news. Linked to this, we hypothesize further that Facebook can act as a facilitator in the process of understanding how this genre is built. As a methodological expedient, we propose a quantitative-qualitative action research. Initially, was applied a diagnostic activity (Corpus I) with the objective of ascertaining students' knowledge about news. After applying this activity, with the results obtained, we use other news from different thematic; having as support Facebook, for the intervention activity (Corpus II). Subsequently, the data collection (CorpusII), we applied a new post-intervention activity, with the intention of detecting possible advances. In the light of the analyzed corpora, the results confirm the hypothesis suggested that the reading competence of the students can be improved through the exposition and the way the news genre is constructed in the chosen publication support: Facebook
