This action-research proposes to take action in the teaching and learning process in order to understand how the work with discoursive and linguistic aspects in English classes, based on genre approach, contributes to foreign language teaching. In order to do so, activities providing data were developed through four classes in an English institute. The theoretical basis for data analysis had, as reference, the aspects of learning theories behaviourism, cognitivism and social interacionism, according to the concepts of B. F. Skinner (2006), Piaget ( 1996), and Vygotsky (2007) that ground the main methodologies and approaches in the teaching/ learning of a foreign language audiolingualism, communicative approach, genres and post-methods era, according to Williams e Burden (1997), Larsen-Freeman (2000), Bakhtin (1992), Bronckart (2007),Schneuwly e Dolz (2004).Richards e Rodgers (2001), Kumaravadivelu (2006). From these questions, What does it talk about? and How does teaching/learning take place? , excerpts from transcriptions of classes were analyzed. For the study, some interaction analysis categories, suggested by Orsolini (2005), were used. Orsolini (2005). With the obtained results of the accomplished activities, we arrived at the conclusion that no matter the text to be written, it is necessary that students learn the discoursive and linguistic structures in order to develop a cohesive and coherent text |
