Conduzimos o trabalho sob o paradigma da pesquisa qualitativa, sendo a análise documental o delineamento adotado para a sua realização; os documentos são investigados de acordo com os princípios da análise de conteúdo. Partimos de teorias específicas do currículo como as discutidas por Tomaz Tadeu da Silva, por exemplo; e no que tange à leitura literária, fundamentamo-nos em autores que debatem a leitura literária, o ensino de literatura e a crítica literária, como Antonio Candido, Tzvetan Todorov, Marisa Lajolo, Regina Zilberman e Maria Thereza Fraga Rocco. Ao considerar o 9º ano do ensino fundamental, propomo-nos a responder basicamente duas perguntas. O que propõe o currículo de Língua Portuguesa da rede estadual paulista em termos de leitura literária? Como essa proposta se materializa didaticamente no Caderno do Aluno e metodologicamente no Caderno do Professor de Língua Portuguesa? Diante dessas indagações, os objetivos gerais deste trabalho são: analisar o referido documento curricular de Língua Portuguesa, identificando e interpretando o que se propõe em relação à leitura literária; analisar as publicações destinadas ao aluno e ao professor, apontando como a leitura literária se materializa nesses materiais. Os objetivos específicos são fazer um levantamento dos textos literários que integram as Situações de Aprendizagem propostas pelo Caderno do Aluno; analisar a forma como os textos literários são pedagogicamente trabalhados nessa publicação; refletir sobre as orientações didático-metodológicas, presentes no Caderno do Professor, e referentes à abordagem do texto literário em sala de aula; apontar possíveis espaços nas Situações de Aprendizagem, nos quais a leitura literária possa ser contemplada; apresentar sugestões de encaminhamentos para o trabalho com textos literários. / This dissertation is the result of a research on São Paulo State Curriculum - Languages, Codes and their Technologies, Teacher 's book - Portuguese Language / Language and Student’s book - Portuguese Language / Language, with regard to the Literary reading on the 9th grade of middle school. We conduct the work under the paradigm of qualitative research, being the documentary analysis the delimitation adopted for its accomplishment; we investigate documents according to the principles of content analysis. We start from specific theories of the curriculum such as those discussed by Tomaz Tadeu da Silva, for example; and as far as literary reading is concerned, we are based on authors who debate literary reading, literature teaching and literary criticism, such as Antonio Candido, Tzvetan Todorov, Marisa Lajolo, Regina Zilberman and Maria Thereza Fraga Rocco. Considering the 9th grade of middle school, we come up with two questions. What does the Portuguese Language curriculum of the State of São Paulo public schools propose for theLiterary reading ? How does this proposal become concrete in the Teacher's book and in the Portuguese Language Student's book? In view of these issues, the general objectives of this work are to analyze the referred Portuguese Language curriculum document, identifying and interpreting what it propose in relation to the literary reading; to analyze the publications intended for the teacher and the student, pointing out how literary reading becomes concrete in this material. The specific objectives are to make a survey of the literary texts that integrate the learning situations proposed by the Student’s book. Next, to analyze how they pedagogically work the literary texts in the Student’s book. Then, to reflect on the didactic-methodological guidelines present in the Teacher's book regarding the approach to the literary text in the classroom. Afterwards, to evaluate the existence of possible spaces in learning situations, in which we could insert literary texts, suggest referrals to work with literary texts.

From preface: The original purpose of this thesis was to make a comparative study of all the English literature which had been prescribed from 1945 to 1980 for study by all high school pupils in the Republic of South Africa, Zimbabwe and the ex-High Commission Territories. This proved to be a formidable task. However, most of the material collected, including all the individual poems prescribed, was recorded in table form. This proved too bulky a system for comparative purposes and the field was narrowed to include only that English literature which had been prescribed for candidates writing Matriculation or Senior Certificate examinations on the higher grade as part of the English Language syllabus. From time to time, however, reference will be made in this thesis to prescriptions for the lower grades and for the lower standards.

D.Litt et Phil. / The aim of this study is to illustrate how literature study in English at secondary and teacher-training levels could be informed by an inter-disciplinary perspective which would transform the classroom methodology. The teaching of English literature to speakers of other languages focuses on data-driven decoding, low-level comprehension and literary criticism at the expense of reading experience, personal but informed response and the development of literary competence ...

The problem of this study was to determine whether the advance organizer would affect students' perception of instructor communication competence. The study also sought to determine any effect the organizer would have on student achievement.

This narrative inquiry documents the inaugural Performance at the Center summer institute, a professional development program in which teachers worked alongside students to generate an original multimodal performance piece inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Specifically, the study examines text-inspired creation: how readers identify and then create out of the gaps and spaces in a given text through remix and performance. This researcher employs qualitative methods to address the following questions: (1) How do Performance at the Center facilitators set up the conditions for text-inspired creation? (2) How do teacher and student players describe what effect, if any, Performance at the Center has on their reading of Frankenstein? and (3) How do select teacher players describe what effect, if any, Performance at the Center has had on their design and implementation of curriculum? Examining her data through the lens of “the gift” (Marcel Mauss and Lewis Hyde), this researcher finds that facilitators set up the conditions for text-inspired creation by stepping into the role of muse—offering both tangible and intangible “gifts” to prompt production. Teachers and students describe the ways in which Performance at the Center invites sensory entry into Shelley’s text, enabling readers to compose meanings potentially inaccessible through words alone. Select teachers describe the ways in which Performance at the Center catalyzes a reconceptualization of what it means to teach literature, underscoring as it does the profound distinction between dissecting a text and experiencing a text. This investigation suggests that positioning the study of literature within a gift culture—receiving literature as a living gift to be passed on through student text-inspired creation—has the potential revitalize texts, teachers and the classroom itself.
