Leitura e oralidade: prática dialógica de um professor leitor na formação de leitores literários

Abstract

This study is the result of an action research conducted during two years (2012-2013), in a Reading Workshop conducted by a professor player in the Technical Course of Electrotechnical Integrated to High School in the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Paraiba - Campus João Pessoa, with the purpose of involving 15 volunteers with students literature reading, in order to develop their knowledge of an integral manner (rational and emotionally) and make them permanent readers, since in general, due to the tendency institutional technicalities to training, most students at the end of the course, has no interest in literary reading. Based on the reports written by the participants of the reading practices carried out by the school and especially the Reading workshop, it was observed that the discursive analysis, within a verbal interaction space, constitutes an important tool to better understand the effects the act of reading in the construction of meanings and social representations in the process of identity formation of the subject reader and also contributes to the improvement and better planning of reading practices carried out within a highly positivist character of pedagogical environment. The reading mediation, developed by a reader teacher, would, according to Silva (1991, 2009), the contact of students with literature ceased to be a purely formal point of "reading comprehension" which usually culminates in a written evaluation, and turned into a moment of interaction between readers, through dialogic reading proposed by Whitehurst (1992), a practice of reading based on the poetic-literary dialogue in a verbal interactive environment governed by solidarity, respect and listening. The dialogic reading stimulate closer acquaintance with the poetic voice emanating from the literary works permeated with emotions, feelings, desires and dreams inherently characteristic of the human condition from the perspective of performance defined by Zumthor (1993, 2000, 2010). It was observed during the two years of activity, which only been three dropouts among 15 student volunteers. Thus, it was shown that a teacher reader is able to awaken and maintain the interest of their students in literary reading. This work suggests a voluntary reading mediation, more human, subjective and interdependent in an alternative space of dialogical practice of training competent and permanent readers.
