Abstract
RESUMOEste artigo objetiva participar das discussões sobre o ensino de literatura em língua inglesa (LLI) no cotidiano da sala de aula do Curso de Letras. Para tal, discute os desafios propostos pelas DCN de Letras, bem como a realidade do professor que trabalha com um número pequeno de horas de LLI na matriz curricular e um número alto de alunos com conhecimento limitado dessa língua estrangeira. A partir da concepção dialógica de linguagem e da possibilidade de cooperação entre áreas de conhecimento, apresentamos uma proposta de trabalho entre a ADD e a Pragmática, mostrando as consonâncias e as dissonâncias entre as duas áreas. Além disso, apresentamos parte da análise do conto Her Sweet Jerome, de Alice Walker, feita por alunos que apontaram para a possibilidade de a Pragmática, nesse contexto de trabalho de LLI com alunos com conhecimento limitado dessa língua estrangeira, ser um passo inicial para uma análise dialógica dos textos literários.
Highlights
Teachers of literature written in English (LWE) in undergraduate language teacher education programs, in general, face great challenges when teaching literature in regular classes
The Letras DCN (National Curriculum Guidelines for the Undergraduate Language Teacher Education Programs) point to the need for the alumni to have had a critical view of the theories related to language and literature, which is fundamental for their professional development
They leave few hours in the curriculum to the ones related to the foreign language, English (PAIVA, 2005). Besides those factors, undergraduate students of language teacher education programs, i.e., professional development programs, usually start the program with limited knowledge of English
Summary
Teachers of literature written in English (LWE) in undergraduate language teacher education programs, in general, face great challenges when teaching literature in regular classes. This article aims, to present some of what we discussed in our dissertation, entitled Analyses of Literature Texts Written in English in a Languages Undergraduate Program: A Dialogic-Pragmatic Perspective (MELO JR, 2014), which was based on the Bakhtin Circle’s concept of language dialogism, which, according to Brait in Tradition, Permanence and Subversion of Concepts in Language Studies (2013), is a “language condition” (p.110).. It aimed to analyze the contributions of two scientific trends: Pragmatics and Dialogical Discourse Analysis (DDA) Through cooperation, they would assist students in analyzing LWE, an indispensable task for undergraduate language teacher education students who will become teachers of English and of LWE. We will present the analysis of the short story Her Sweet Jerome (WALKER, 2001) done by the research subjects (undergraduate language students) in a literature analysis activity created under this cooperative principle
