O ENSINO DE LITERATURA NO PAESPE

AS AULAS TEMÁTICAS COMO ALTERNATIVA DE ENSINO

Abstract

This paper aims to present a proposal for teaching literature that defends the teaching of literature through pre-established themes, in addition to reporting the experiences achieved in the process. The corpus of the research was composed of class diaries produced from classes taught to students of the Paespe by scholarship holders of the PET of the Faculdade de Letras of the Universidade Federal de Alagoas (Ufal) and students' responses to a questionnaire about their experiences in literature classes. The theoretical framework for reflections on the situation of teaching literature in Brazil and the work based on thematic classes came from, among others, the researches of the authors: Alves (2006, 2008, 2014); Cereja (2004); Cosson (2009, 2011); Rangel (2003); Rezende (2013) and Zumthor (2000). Thus, the approach of this work has used three aspects: first, a survey on the perspectives of teaching literature and literary literacy based, among other texts, on the OCMs (2006) and PCNs (2002); second, in the discussion of thematic classes as the main means for literary reading; and, thirdly, the contextualization and analysis of the data. It was concluded that, although more challenging, by prioritizing the appreciation of the literary text the students began to see it also through a new perspective and began to allow themselves to take a critical stance towards literary texts.
