Os textos foram gerados em uma turma de ingl?s n?vel IV e em uma turma de conversa??o em dois momentos no decorrer de 2015.2 e submetidos ? an?lise qualitativa por meio do sistema de transitividade proposto pela lingu?stica sist?mico-funcional (HALLIDAY, 1994; EGGINS, 2004; HALLIDAY; MATTHIESSEN, 2014). Na an?lise quantitativa, utilizou-se a ferramenta Wordsmith Tools 5.0 (SCOTT, 2010) para identificar e quantificar os processos e os participantes das ora??es. Os resultados mostram que os processos mais usados na turma de n?vel IV foram is/are, like e have enquanto os processos mais recorrentes na turma de conversa??o foram is/are, think e do. Na primeira turma, o processo like sugere que os alunos concebem os assuntos tratados como quest?es de prefer?ncia pessoal enquanto, na segunda turma, o processo think revela a interpreta??o dos temas como quest?es de cren?as pessoais. Quanto aos participantes nas ora??es, as maiores recorr?ncias da turma de n?vel IV foram people, weekend, I e we, enquanto we, waste, problem, garbage, you e women foram mais recorrentes na turma de conversa??o. O uso recorrente de I na primeira turma mostra a estrat?gia dos alunos de se revelarem como autores a fim de expressarem sua opini?o. Por outro lado, na segunda turma, o uso de you consiste numa estrat?gia para chamar a aten??o do leitor diretamente. Tais resultados mostram que a identifica??o e a an?lise dos participantes e dos processos nas ora??es por meio da transitividade s?o feedback ?til para os alunos, seja na reescrita ou na produ??o de novos textos. / This qualiquantitative study analyzes lexicogrammatical choices realized in 18 written texts from the Discussion genre produced by nine students of a language institute at a federal university in Northeastern Brazil. The texts were generated in a Level IV English class and in a conversation class in two moments in 2015.2 and submitted to a qualitative analysis by using the transitivity system proposed by systemic-functional linguistics (HALLIDAY, 1994; EGGINS, 2004; HALLIDAY; MATTHIESSEN, 2014). In the quantitative analysis, we used the Wordsmith Tools 5.0 (SCOTT, 2010) program to identify and quantify the processes and the participants of the clauses. The results show that the most frequent processes in the level IV class were is/are, like and have whereas the most frequent processes in the conversation class were is/are, think, and do. In the first class, the process like suggests that the students conceive the subjects in question as matters of personal preference while, in the second class, the process think reveals the interpretation of the themes as matters of personal beliefs. Regarding the participants in the clauses, the more frequent recurrences in the level IV class were people, weekend, I and we, while we, waste, problem, garbage, you and women were more recurrent in the conversation class. The recurrent use of I in the first class shows the strategy of the students in revealing themselves as authors to express their opinions. On the other hand, in the second class, the use of you consists of a strategy to call the reader?s attention directly. These results show that the identification and the analysis of participants and processes in the clauses by means of transitivity are useful feedback for the students when rewriting or producing new texts.

As cognition and affectiveness are considered indivisible elements in this research, we tried to identify the linguistic signs that express the students representations about affectiveness in their English classes. We used the Systemic Functional Linguistics approach to study the Ideational metafunction of Halliday (1994), by means of the transitivity system, to show how the clauses are used to illustrate these representations, and the interpersonal metafunction, that deals with the relationship between the teacher and the students. We tried to identify the most common processes (HALLIDAY, 1994) mentioned by the 68 students who participated in this work. We used learning narratives (BARCELOS, 2006) submitted to Wordsmith Tools computing program (SCOTT, 2009), whose results indicate the most frequent lexical items found in their narratives. The lexical choices seem to indicate that affectiveness is noticed as a composing element of the English classes in that school. There are representations of interacting classes, where the students needs are considered. These representations are built in the relationship of the students and the teacher, and they are grammatically realized by means of the polarity adjunct no , the intensity adjunct very , and the nominal group the teacher . The relational and mental processes (be) and (like) are the most used in their narratives, and we also observe that affectiveness and disponibility to help the students are considered the most important attitudes in their representations. The Appraisal system is used to analise the choices related to the attitudes and judgement of the students, that show appreciation for interacting classes, but there is still authorithary berhavior from the teacher in the English classes / Esta pesquisa surgiuda pr?tica pedag?gica da pesquisadora em uma escola t?cnica, na cidade de Natal/RN, e tem por objetivo verificar como a afetividade ? percebidapelos alunosnas aulas de ingl?s, pois,a princ?pio, pode-se tera ideia de um ensino tecnicista, cujo foco ? o processo de aquisi??o de habilidades, nos cursos t?cnicos.

Through this process, I engage with some theorists who promote teaching as a process that is driven by a concept of language as social practice. Subsequently, I make use of the notions of context of culture and context of situation, derived from Systemic Functional Linguistics, as well as the concept of genre and register derived from the perspective of this theory. Based on these principles and beliefs, the Amazon region constitutes the register (situation) of the genres used in this study. These principles also provide, opportunities for building learning strategies appropriate to this local context, and also to teach listening and speaking skills from a task-based approach. During the experience, based on the reflective teacher-education model, the participants produced narratives about the process, which I then analyzed according to Ely, Vinz, Downing and Anzul (2001), who propose possibilities of composing meanings in Narrative Inquiry. Based on this perspective, I discuss the following topics, which were highly emphasized in the participants narratives: the lack of didactic activities using oral genres; the relevance of context within teacher education; and collaborative work as a strategy to overcome gaps in digital literacy, language fluency and teaching skills. The meanings I thereby compose point to a paradigm shift in English language teaching within this context. I also argue for a pedagogical practice that is engaged with historical and socio-cultural issues, and with the development of language skills, also one that promotes the implementation of ICTs at the very start of teacher training programs, adopting teaching and learning strategies that correspond to the demands of fluency in this particular context, and deficiencies imposed by geographical isolation / Em conson?ncia com: (1) as demandas de flu?ncia dos participantes de um Curso de Letras/Ingl?s da Amaz?nia; (2) as necessidades da compreens?o e da produ??o oral em l?ngua inglesa dos professores de Ingl?s como L?ngua Estrangeira (ILE) em forma??o inicial e (3) a minha forma??o continuada e o meu letramento acad?mico na condi??o de professor-pesquisador e formador de professores de ILE, neste estudo, com base na Pesquisa Narrativa, relato os procedimentos adotados durante a viv?ncia em um processo de didatiza??o de g?neros discursivos orais difundidos pela pr?tica de podcasting, atividade oriunda do advento das Tecnologias da Informa??o e da Comunica??o (TICs). Neste processo, dialogo com te?ricos que advogam o ensino de ILE norteado por abordagem que preceitue uma vis?o de linguagem como pr?tica social, compreendendo o ensino tamb?m como uma atividade constru?da na intera??o e mediada pela linguagem. Para isso, lan?o m?o das no??es de contexto de cultura e de contexto de situa??o da Lingu?stica Sist?mico-Funcional, contemplando o conceito de g?nero e de registro. Como princ?pio e cren?a que defendo, os registros dos g?neros utilizados neste estudo possuem tem?ticas voltadas para o contexto da floresta Amaz?nica, oportunizando a constru??o de estrat?gias de ensino apropriadas ao contexto local para ensino da compreens?o e da produ??o oral pela elabora??o de tarefas. Durante a viv?ncia, com base no paradigma reflexivo de forma??o de professores, os participantes produziram narrativas sobre o processo que foram analisadas conforme Ely, Vinz, Downing e Anzul (2001), que defendem a composi??o de sentidos na Pesquisa Narrativa. Ao reler e rescrever sobre as experi?ncias vividas, elegi discutir sobre os seguintes temas revelados com maior ?nfase pela escrita dos participantes: a pouca viv?ncia em processos de didatiza??o de g?neros orais; a relev?ncia dos temas sobre o contexto para a forma??o do professor de ILE local; o trabalho colaborativo como estrat?gia para superar a defici?ncia de letramento digital, conhecimentos lingu?sticos e pedag?gicos. Os sentidos que componho dessa viv?ncia apontam para a mudan?a de paradigma que precisa ser estabelecida no ensino de ILE deste contexto e para o fazer pedag?gico engajado com as quest?es hist?rico-socioculturais e o desenvolvimento das habilidades lingu?sticas de produ??o e de compreens?o oral, sugerindo que as TICs devem ser implementadas progressivamente no contexto em quest?o durante a forma??o inicial do professor de ILE por meio de estrat?gias condizentes com as demandas de flu?ncia e as defici?ncias ocasionadas pelo isolamento geogr?fico

A proposta ? identificar os g?neros escolares relevantes para o curso ap?s a realiza??o de an?lise de necessidades, utilizando a Lingu?stica Sist?mico-Funcional (LSF) de Halliday e Matthiessen (2004) como recurso que facilita a compreens?o dos textos lidos, aproximando os estudos te?ricos da LSF da pr?tica na sala de aula, para que os alunos possam conceber a l?ngua como pr?tica social. Outro objetivo ? conhecer as percep??es dos alunos sobre as aulas ministradas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa quanti-qualitativa (D?RNYEI, 2007), na qual a LSF foi utilizada como modelo te?rico de an?lise de linguagem e de pesquisa, visto que ela ? o pr?prio objeto de pesquisa, e ao mesmo tempo o suporte te?rico que embasa a an?lise das opini?es dos alunos sobre as aulas. Aspectos da Pesquisa Narrativa (CLANDININ; CONNELY, 2004) tamb?m s?o utilizados para dar voz ao relato de minhas pr?prias experi?ncias como professora do curso de Redes e como pesquisadora, bem como para realizar a composi??o de sentidos observada nas representa??es dos alunos ap?s a viv?ncia de nossas aulas com o apoio da pedagogia adotada e da abordagem Sist?mico-Funcional, e para a reflex?o sobre as experi?ncias relatadas. O Sistema de Avaliatividade (MARTIN; WHITE, 2005) foi o instrumento anal?tico para verificarmos como se configuram as percep??es dos alunos sobre as aulas de IFE. A categoria mais utilizada do Sistema de Atitude, um dos dom?nios sem?nticos do Sistema de Avaliatividade, respons?vel pela express?o lingu?stica de avalia??es positivas e negativas, foi a Aprecia??o do tipo Valora??o, revelando a relev?ncia do trabalho com a pedagogia de g?neros e a originalidade na forma de abordagem dos textos. O trabalho com textos aut?nticos da ?rea, trabalhos em grupo, ensino colaborativo e reconhecimento dos tipos de textos foram aspectos da pedagogia de g?nero mais mencionados pelos alunos em suas aprecia??es. Outro tipo de Aprecia??o encontrado foi a Rea??o Impacto negativo, categoria utilizada para descrever o impacto emocional vivenciado nas aulas. Os resultados da an?lise das avalia??es feitas pelos alunos sobre as experi?ncias vividas em nossas aulas apontaram o reconhecimento e validade da utiliza??o da LSF nas aulas de IFE e, consequentemente, da pedagogia de g?neros proposta pela Escola de Sydney e ao mesmo tempo revelou o desejo de desenvolver a oralidade, promovendo uma reflex?o sobre a inclus?o da compet?ncia oral no curr?culo do curso. / This thesis presents the implementation of a genre pedagogy as proposed by the Sydney School (ROSE; MARTIN, 2012) in English classes for Specific Purposes (ESP) at a federal technical school in Rio Grande do Norte, in the Computer Networks undergraduation course. The proposal is to identify the relevant genres to the course after carrying out needs analysis, using the Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) from Halliday and Matthiessen (2004) as a resource that facilitates the understanding of texts, approaching the theoretical studies of SFL and implement them in the classroom practice, so that students can conceive language as a social practice. Another aim is to understand the perceptions of students about the classes taught. This is a quanti-qualitative research (D?RNYEI, 2007), in which the SFL was used as a theoretical model of language analysis and research, since it is the very object of research, and at the same time the theoretical framework that underlies the students' opinions about the classes. Aspects of Narrative research (CLANDININ; CONNELY, 2004) are also used to give voice to the account of my own experiences as a Network English language teacher and as a researcher, as well as to make sense from the students? representations after the experience of our classes with the support of the pedagogy adopted and the Systemic Functional approach and also give voice to the reflection on experiences reported. The Appraisal System (MARTIN; WHITE, 2005) was the analytical instrument in order to verify how to shape the students? perceptions about ESP classes. The most widely used category in the Attitude System, one of the semantic domains of Appraisal System, responsible for linguistic expression of positive and negative reviews, was the assessment of the Valuation type, revealing the importance of working with genre pedagogy and originality in the form of the text approach. Working with authentic texts from the field, group work, collaborative teaching and recognition of types of texts were aspects of genre pedagogy most mentioned by students in their assessments. Another type of assessment found was the negative impact Reaction, category used to describe the emotional impact experienced in class. The results of the analysis of the evaluations made by the students about the experiences in our classes showed the recognition and validity of the use of SFL in ESP classes and consequently the genre pedagogy proposed by the Sydney School. At the same time, it was revealed the desire to develop oral communication, promoting reflection on the inclusion of oral competence in the course curriculum.

The objective is to identify and quantify linguistic items using instruments and categories based on theoretical frameworks from the Systemic Functional Linguistic perspective (HALLIDAY 1985, 1994; HALLIDAY; MATHIESSEN, 2014), more specifically, carrying out a Discourse Analysis through the Appraisal System elaborated by Martin and Rose (2003; 2007), and Martin and White (2005). The corpus of this research is comprised of responses to three evaluation questionnaires, applied via Google Docs, to 24 participants, and an Experimental Analysis applied to 19 participants who are students in the Basic Lifelong Training Course (Curso de Forma??o Inicial e Continuada - FIC) designed in this pedagogical action for the computing field. The Discourse Analysis focuses on the perceptions of these learners regarding the pedagogical intervention. We observed how students? characterize, through lexicogrammatical choices, their perceptions of the FIC Course, using the categories Appreciation and Judgement, which are components of the Subsystem, Attitude, in the Appraisal System, taking into account the types reaction, composition and valuation and the subcategory capacity. Results indicated that the speech was marked mainly by the subcategories reaction quality and valuation relevance. In addition, the Experimental Analysis did not present a statistically significant gain in the reading comprehension of texts in the technical area even though there was an increase in the score of 9 out of 19 participants from the pre-test to the post-test.

This practice facilitates the planning of actions to improve the educational system. This study aims at identifying, interpreting and discussing some representations related to the identity and professional view of English as a foreign language teachers in different school contexts of Natal-RN. The theoretical and methodological foundation for this research is Halliday s Systemic- Functional Linguistics (1994; HALLIDAY; MATHIESSEN, 2004; EGGINS, 1994, among others). Our goal was to reveal the teachers representations embedded in their language, mainly through the ideational metafunction, as language is the tool we use to express ourselves about the external world (events, qualities, things, etc) and the internal world (thoughts, beliefs, feelings, etc). The research corpus is made of 21 teacher narratives, generated from a questionnaire sent to the teachers, who were divided in two groups: Group 1 (public schools teachers) and Group 2 (private schools and English course teachers). Most of the participants seemed to be satisfied with their professional choice. Many of them see the job as a challenge and an opportunity to transmit knowledge. All of them affirmed that the English teacher is a professional, for different reasons; however, the low professional appreciation was a recurrent aspect among the studied narratives. When asked about where they work, the private school teachers seemed to be more satisfied with the teaching-learning process than the ones from the public schools. We believe that the data analyzed in this study is important to show how some English teachers from Natal-RN see their profession. The results might be used in continuing education courses as food-for-thought in group discussions, as it is extremely important to emphasize and stimulate this practice / O estudo das representa??es sobre o ensino e a aprendizagem de l?nguas ? um campo de investiga??o crescente na lingu?stica aplicada brasileira pois nos permite compreender as representa??es dos professores e como estes concebem o ensino. Com isso, ? poss?vel tra?ar planos e medidas para mudar a realidade da educa??o para melhor. Este trabalho visa identificar, interpretar e discutir algumas representa??es de professores de ingl?s como l?ngua estrangeira em variados contextos escolares de Natal-RN, a respeito de: si mesmos, sua profiss?o e o ensino no contexto onde atuam. A base te?rico-metodol?gica ? a Lingu?stica Sist?mico- Funcional de Halliday (1994; HALLIDAY & MATHIESSEN, 2004; EGGINS, 1994, entre outros). Buscamos levantar as representa??es constru?das pela linguagem, principalmente por meio da metafun??o ideacional, pois ? a partir do uso da linguagem que nos expressamos sobre o mundo externo (eventos, qualidades, coisas, etc.) e o mundo interno (pensamentos, cren?as, sentimentos, etc.). O corpus desta pesquisa ? formado por 21 narrativas docentes, geradas a partir de um question?rio aplicado aos professores participantes, que foram divididos em dois grupos: Grupo 1 (professores de escolas p?blicas) e Grupo 2 (professores de escolas particulares e cursos de l?nguas). A maioria dos professores pareceu estar satisfeita com a escolha da profiss?o. Muitos veem o of?cio como um desafio e uma possibilidade de transmitir conhecimento. Todos afirmaram que o professor de ingl?s ? um profissional; no entanto, a pouca valoriza??o profissional foi um tema recorrente. Em rela??o ao ensino na escola onde lecionam, os professores dos contextos particulares pareceram mais satisfeitos que os professores de escolas p?blicas. Diante das respostas desta pesquisa, acreditamos que este estudo teve relev?ncia para apontar o que pensam alguns professores de l?ngua inglesa de Natal-RN. Os resultados indicados aqui poder?o vir a ser utilizados como argumentos para discuss?o em grupo em cursos de forma??o continuada de professores de l?ngua inglesa, com o objetivo de enfatizar a constante necessidade deste tipo de forma??o profissional

This tradition harkens to the medieval romance of the Iberian Peninsula (CASCUDO, 2001; GURGEL, 1999; GALV?O, 1993; MAGALH?ES, 1973; ROMERO,1977). The objective of this research is to: identify what characterizes the genre Drama of Rio Grande do Norte; situate this genre within a systemization of genres from the oral tradition in Rio Grande do Norte; investigate the interpersonal relationships of power and solidarity through the role of the women in the discourse, how they see themselves and others, pointing out which elements of the world they evaluate and to identify representations of the feminine in the discourse. The theory of Genre and Register of Martin and Rose (2008) and Generic Structure Potential of Hasan (1989, 1996), which has as a base the Systemic Functional Linguistics of Halliday and Matthiessen (2004), Eggins (1994) among others, offers a theoretical framework for the characterization of the genre through the identification of stages and phases configuring its typology the individual schematic structure and its topology its relation to other phenomena in the oral tradition. Other groupings were mapped of the ‗Macrogenre , from the model of Martin and Rose (2008) as a continuum on two axis: between the poles of how the genre circulates orally x in writing, and recited/individually x staged/collectively; as well as mapping the samples with relation to power using the same model, but with the poles of individual voice x collective voice on an axis between increased power and diminished power. Eleven texts described as Narratives and one Anecdote were selected for the analysis of Attitudes, and Negotiations of power. Through the quantification of semantic discursive resources in the discourse systems of Appraisal (MARTIN; WHITE, 2005) and of Negotiation (MARTIN; ROSE, 2007), as well as reflections about humor (EGGINS; SLADE, 1997) we identified the Attitudes and the Negotiations of interpersonal roles. The quantification is based on the theories of Corpus Linguistics (BERBER SARDINHA, 2010), using WordSmith Tools 5.0 (SCOTT, 2010). Our results show that the Drama-of-Rio-Grande-do-Norte is characterized as a Macrogenre in the Community of Oral Stories, in the Family of Street Theatre/Games, composed of five genre types: Narratives, Praise, Complaints, Anecdotes, and Exemplum. The Macrogenre is characterized by its being circulated orally, staged collectively and the texts analyzed configure in differing degrees of power between men and woman. In synthesis we observe that through humor, the Drama-of-Rio-Grande-do-Norte functions to offer a space for women to voice, comment, judge and orient about social conditions in their communities, such as alcoholism, domestic violence, inequalities before the law etc., as well as circulating positive appreciations of rural/coastal culture and judgments about the behavior of members of the speech community, the role of women being to establish and reinforce norms. We anticipate possible benefits of the addition of the genre analyzed in literacy projects in the schools of Rio Grande do Norte / O foco desta pesquisa qualiquantitativa trata do fen?meno que denominamos Dramas Norte-rio-grandenses, e compreende textos em versos curtos, da tradi??o oral, cantados e apresentados em palco por mulheres em comunidades no litoral do Rio Grande do Norte, uma produ??o que remonta ao romance da pen?nsula ib?rica medieval (CASCUDO, 2001; GURGEL, 1999; GALV?O, 1993; MAGALH?ES, 1973; ROMERO,1977). A pesquisa objetiva: identificar o que caracteriza o g?nero Drama Norte-rio-grandense; situar o g?nero dentro de uma sistematiza??o de g?neros discursivos de tradi??es orais norte-rio-grandenses; investigar as rela??es interpessoais de poder e solidariedade pelo papel das mulheres no discurso, como estas se avaliam e avaliam os outros;apontar quais elementos do mundo avaliam; e identificar as representa??es do feminino no discurso. A teoria de G?nero e de Registro de Martin e Rose (2008) e Estrutura Potencial do G?nero de Hasan (1989, 1996), que tem como base a Lingu?stica Sist?mico-Funcional de Halliday e Matthiessen (2004), Eggins (1994) dentre outros, fornece o arcabou?o te?rico para a caracteriza??o do g?nero discursivo pela identifica??o de est?gios e fases configurando sua tipologia a estrutura esquem?tica individual e sua topologia a sua rela??o com os demais fen?menos da tradi??o oral. Ademais, outros agrupamentos foram feitos do ‗macrog?nero a partir do modelo de Martin e Rose (2008), num cont?nuo entre dois eixos: os polos de circula??o oral x escrita e declamado/individual x encenado/coletivo, bem como um mapeamento dos exemplares a respeito de poder utilizando o mesmo modelo com os polos de voz individual x voz coletiva num eixo entre poder acentuado e poder reduzido no outro. Onze textos de dramas do tipo Narrativa e uma Anedota foram selecionados para a an?lise das atitudes e negocia??es de poder. Pela quantifica??o de recursos sem?ntico-discursivos nos sistemas discursivos de Avaliatividade (MARTIN; WHITE, 2005) e de Negocia??o (MARTIN; ROSE, 2007), bem como reflex?es sobre o humor (EGGINS; SLADE, 1997), identificamos as atitudes e as negocia??es de papeis interpessoais. A quantifica??o est? embasada nas teorias da Lingu?stica de Corpus (BERBER-SARDINHA, 2010), utilizando a ferramenta computacional WordSmith Tools 5.0 (SCOTT, 2010). Como resultados, caracterizamos o Drama Norte-rio-grandense como um Macrog?nero da Comunidade de Est?rias Orais, na Fam?lia de Brincadeiras/Teatro da Rua, composto por cinco tipos de g?neros: Narrativa, Elogio, Reclama??o, Anedota, e Exemplo. O Macrog?nero caracteriza-se pela circula??o oral, encena??o coletiva, e os textos analisados configuram-se em graus de poder variados. Sintetizamos que, pelo vi?s do humor, o Drama Norte-rio-grandense funciona como um espa?o que permite a voz feminina dizer, comentar, julgar e orientar sobre condi??es sociais nas comunidades em que s?o encenados, tais como alcoolismo, viol?ncia dom?stica, desigualdades perante a lei, etc., al?m de circularem aprecia??es positivas da cultura rural/litoral e julgamentos sobre comportamentos dos membros da comunidade de fala, o papel das mulheres sendo o de estabelecer e refor?ar normas. Antecipamos poss?veis benef?cios da inser??o do g?nero analisado em projetos de letramento nas escolas do Rio Grande do Norte
