Retextualização: uma proposta de ensino para a progressão temática

Abstract

The thematic progression is one of the mechanisms that students need to know in order to develop the thread of the text and promote the thematic continuity. From this proposition, in this study, our goal was to investigate the continuity and discontinuity theme in the texts of 9th graders and propose an action plan to develop progression of skills and theme articulation in the opinion, in a new light evaluation. For this, we take as theoretical framework the prospects of Linguistics Textual, working with authors who bring relevant discussions on the subject, as Marcuschi (2001; 2008), Koch (2005; 2006; 2009), Travaglia (2009) and Moreira (1991), among others. The corpus of the research consisted of a total of 29 (twenty nine) 9 students texts year of a public school in the city Coração de Jesus, North of Minas Gerais. By predominantly qualitative analysis, aspects have been identified on the progression, relevance and thematic expression in an opinion article. The test result showed that students understand and maintain the central theme, although they have difficulties with the mechanisms of exploration and feedback, producing texts synthesis, with short paragraphs, built upon the topic sentence. These results served as a diagnostic to continue to research and intervention that is proposed in this paper. Were prepared then sequenced activities of proposals that could assist students in reflection on the textual phenomena that contribute to the maintenance and development of the theme. By confronting the texts, the first and second times, through a positive evaluation of the intervention process, are perceived significant advances and, with an emphasis on these results, one can conclude that: it is essential to assess, continuous and procedurally, the practice in classroom, methods and materials used, creating new teaching strategies that can contribute to a meaningful learning; and, that the conceptions of textual linguistics, on the teaching of text production, contribute to building positive, removing the misspelling of culture, to which, for a long time, served type text.
