Abstract

This paper intends to present a part of a master’s research which was developed at the Post-graduation Department of Applied Linguistics at Brasilia University. Our aim was to develop and implement a pedagogical proposal for teaching English based on textual genres and anchored on the principles of didactic sequence. We support the concept that every oral or writing discourse happens through texts and the texts are materialized by textual genres. Therefore, facing a society marked by changes in the new technologies field, the textual genres modify, transform, new ones appear, and others disappear. To the textual genres are incorporated other sources besides the verbal language. In this sense, we propose to present in this paper, first of all, a discussion related to didactic sequence and textual genres. Next we will make a brief explanation about the methodology used in the research, called by action research. Then, we will report and discuss how our pedagogical proposal was implemented based on didactic sequence principles; we will also insert some discussions from data collected by a questionnaire and student diaries.
