Summary
This study addresses critical literacy events in English from a social perspective supported by the genre short stories. It is detected that English classes are still related to the development of linguistic and communicative skills, contradictorily, these teaching tasks were not interrelated with the necessary social pragmatism of literacies This problem generated a question, in which it is questioned how the genres based on the narratives can favor literacies and a new meaning of reading in English Language (EL)?. Bertoldo's (2009) work addresses reading and oral production in the context of training foreign language teachers in the course of languages, in a class of the fourth year of the English language degree. He prioritized argumentation, anchored in Gee's (1990) studies on literacy, whose core was discourse. Two literacy events were selected that formed part of a research project developed at UEMASUL (State University of Tocantina Region from Maranhão), starting in 2015
