Cette thèse vise à apporter des connaissances sur le développement professionnel des professeurs des écoles débutants dans le domaine de la lecture des textes littéraires.Le cadre théorique, construit au croisement de l’analyse de l’activité enseignante, de la didactique de la compréhension et de la lecture littéraire et de la sociologie de l’éducation permet de situer ce développement au sein d’un système complexe : celui de l’activité enseignante ; celui de la formation initiale ; celui de la lecture des textes littéraires.Le cadre méthodologique composite conduit à développer une enquête quantitative visant à saisir les corpus et les enjeux assignés à la lecture des textes littéraires à l’école par les enquêtés et une enquête qualitative reposant sur le suivi longitudinal de professeurs des écoles et l’observation d’actions de formation.Notre recherche aboutit à trois conclusions : l’interdépendance entre les dispositions à lire et à faire lire du maitre et les dispositions à lire des élèves ; l’enrichissement des situations didactiques par les lectures diverses du maitre et des élèves et leur rapport dans le développement professionnel du maitre ; les apports d’action de formation intégrative et projective dans l’élaboration de l’activité enseignante dans le domaine de la lecture des textes littéraires. / This dissertation aims to provide knowledge on the professional development of teachers of beginner schools in the reading literary texts.The theoretical framework, built at the crossroads of the analysis of teaching activity, the didactics of comprehension and literary reading and the sociology of education, makes it possible to situate this development within a complex system: teacher activity; that of initial training; that of reading literary texts.The composite methodological framework leads to the development of a quantitative survey aimed at capturing the corpora and stakes assigned to the reading of literary texts at school by the respondents and a qualitative survey based on the longitudinal follow-up of school teachers and the observation of training actions.Our research leads to three conclusions: the interdependence between the teacher's ways to read and ways to teach and the reading arrangements of pupils ; the enrichment of didactic situations through the various readings of the teacher and pupils and their relationship in the professional development of the teacher; the contributions of integrative and projective training action in the development of teaching activity in the field of reading literary texts.

El objetivo de este estudio de caso es investigar de qué manera la lectura de textos literarios de Bolivia podría contribuir a la comprensión de las condiciones culturales y sociales de Bolivia en alumnos que estudian el paso cuatro de español como lengua extranjera (ELE) en Suecia. La hipótesis es que los alumnos tienen poco conocimiento de Bolivia, y que la lectura de textos literarios de Bolivia y las discusiones grupales sobre ellos en el aula de ELE podrían contribuir a un entendimiento básico de las condiciones culturales y sociales de Bolivia. En este estudio cualitativo, discusiones orales y una encuesta a diecinueve alumnos del paso cuatro de ELE se llevaron a cabo después de la lectura de tres textos literarios de Bolivia. Los resultados se analizaron partiendo de la teoría de la respuesta del lector. Según los resultados, los alumnos tienen muy poco o poco conocimiento de Bolivia antes de leer los textos literarios. En las discusiones, los alumnos hacen asociaciones con sus experiencias, ideologías y conocimientos de la cultura sueca. Eso, a su vez, contribuye a la comprensión de las condiciones culturales y sociales de Bolivia. Es decir, a través del estudio empírico, nuestra hipótesis se ha confirmado. / This case study investigates in which way the reading of literary texts from Bolivia can contribute to an understanding of the cultural and social conditions of Bolivia among students of Spanish as a foreign language (SFL) in Sweden. The hypothesis is that the students have a limited knowledge of Bolivia and that the reading of the Bolivian texts and discussions in groups about the texts can contribute to a basic understanding of the cultural and social conditions of Bolivia. In this qualitative study oral discussions and a survey of nineteen students, who study the fourth course of SFL, were carried out after the reading of three Bolivian literary texts. The results are analysed with the Reader-response theory. According to the results, the students have very limited or limited knowledge of Bolivia before reading the literary texts. In the discussions the students associate the texts with their experiences, ideologies, and knowledge about the Swedish culture. This in turn contributes to the understanding of the cultural and social conditions of Bolivia. In other words, our hypothesis has been confirmed by the empirical study.

The thesis deals with possible applications of literary texts in teaching of czech as a foreign language. The first part summarizes the position of literature within the framework of respective methodical directions both in the past and today and also what status is attributed to literature in teaching of foreign languages by contemporary education legislation (especially the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). The work also includes an analysis of czech language textbooks for foreigners and of other publications based on the inclusion frequency of literary excerpts, on their type and potential didactic utilization. The theoretical part of the thesis contains chapters, which deal with the significance of literature in the teaching of foreign languages, in particular with literary texts and the definition of reader's competence, which are an important basis for the practical part of the work. The practical part contains four lesson proposals built upon working with specific literary texts (one prosaic and three poetic texts). The proposed lessons are suitable for level B1 and B1+ and combine reading of czech literature with education of intercultural competence (particularly important is the historical and cultural context of the period between years 1948 and 1989, in which the...

O objeto deste trabalho é estudar o emprego de textos literários e a forma como eles são aproveitados no ensino de Português-Língua Estrangeira (PLE). Para tanto, apoiamo-nos nos fundamentos teóricos da abordagem comunicativa, da leitura e da enunciação a fim de investigar os potenciais pedagógicos do texto literário na sala de aula e nos livros didáticos de PLE. Com base em uma pesquisa feita com estudantes estrangeiros, pudemos detectar suas expectativas quanto à utilização de textos da literatura brasileira nas aulas, bem como suas representações lingüísticas, aí incluída a apropriação de elementos culturais, confirmando a relevância da contribuição desses textos no ensino de PLE. E, a partir da análise do emprego de textos literários e exercícios de compreensão em quatro materiais didáticos, observamos também que tais livros não podem suprir todas as expectativas dos alunos em razão de sua própria natureza didática, descontextualizada da interação autor-texto-leitor original. Como resultado, pudemos confirmar que o bom aproveitamento dos textos literários no ensino de PLE não está simplesmente no seu emprego como um pretexto em sala de aula ou nos manuais, mas no tratamento dado a eles, tendo em vista o seu caráter literário. / The objective of this paper is to study the employment of the literary texts and how they are exploited in the teaching of Portuguese as a Foreign Language (PFL). For that purpose, we followed the theoretical line of the communicative approach of reading and utterance-act in order to inspect the pedagogical potential of the literary text in the classroom and in PFL\'s textbooks. In a survey involving foreign students, we were able to detect their expectations in relation to the application of texts of the Brazilian literature in the classes, as well as their linguistic representations, including the appropriation of cultural elements, confirming the relevant contribution of these texts in PFL\'s teaching. And, after analysing the employment of the literary texts and the exercises of comprehension in four types of textbooks, we observed that these books are not able to fill all the students\' expectations due to the own educational nature of these materials, decontextualized from the original authortext- reader interaction. As a result, we were able to confirm that the effective utilization of the literary texts in PFL\'s teaching does not merely depend on its employment as an excuse in the classroom or in the manuals, but on the treatment given to them, in view of their literary quality.

Since literary texts often present metaphors, and considering that a number of Brazilian public schools do not train students on such reading abilities (Kleiman, 1998), I sought deeper theoretical background on the new view of conceptual metaphor (Lakoff & Turner,1989) with the aim of contributing to the development of reading comprehension of literary texts. The research carried out followed the critical action research methodology (Kincheloe, 1997), within the qualitative research paradigm, interpretative in nature (Bortoni-Ricardo, 2008). The investigation focused on my own actions as a mediator of the students voices whilst these were thinking aloud in groups on the subjects of the literary texts being interpreted in the classroom. The instruments used to collect data were the technique of group think aloud as well as reflective diaries. Data analysis investigated the paths taken by the students of this Elementary School class, considering the importance of metaphors as revealing instances of the human aptitude for making sense (Steen, 1994), and taking into account that the reader, within their cultural context, has the subjective freedom to understand the metaphoric effect. The school universe, stage of great cultural diversity, is the appropriate environment for the development of the social, cultural and identity nature of the students. Results show the mechanisms employed by the readers to understand and interpret the texts that develop the students critical reading. Results also show that the group think-aloud fostered spaces for the argumentation of ideas, besides stimulating the reflection of aspects of identity, and facilitating the understanding of the metaphors found in the literary texts / Este trabalho está centrado no estudo da leitura e da interpretação de textos literários por meio da prática do pensar alto em grupo (Zanotto, 1998), propiciando, assim, espaços de leitura crítica feita por alunos da 8ª série do Ensino Fundamental. Como os textos literários apresentam muitas metáforas e boa parte das escolas públicas brasileiras não capacita seus alunos para as habilidades de leitura (Kleiman, 1998), busquei um maior aprofundamento da nova visão da metáfora conceptual (Lakoff & Turner,1989) com o objetivo de contribuir para o desenvolvimento da leitura e compreensão de textos literários. Desenvolvi a pesquisa-ação crítica (Kincheloe, 1997) com metodologia qualitativa, de natureza interpretativista (Bortoni-Ricardo, 2008), focalizando minha ação como mediadora das vozes do alunos pensando alto, em grupo, sobre a interpretação de textos literários em sala de aula. Os instrumentos utilizados para a coleta de dados foram a técnica do pensar alto em grupo e o diário reflexivo. A análise de dados investigou o caminho percorrido pelos alunos do Ensino Fundamental, considerando a importância da metáfora como uma instância reveladora da capacidade humana de fazer sentido (Steen, 1994), levando em conta que o leitor inserido em um contexto cultural possui liberdade subjetiva para compreender o efeito metafórico. O universo escolar, palco de grande diversidade cultural, é o ambiente propício para o desenvolvimento da natureza social, cultural e identitária dos alunos. Os resultados mostram os mecanismos usados pelos leitores para a compreensão e interpretação dos textos que colaboraram no desenvolvimento da leitura crítica dos alunos no qual o pensar alto em grupo propiciou espaços para a argumentação de ideias, estimulou a reflexão de aspectos identitários e facilitou a compreensão das metáforas contidas nos textos literários

A presente dissertação, que está vinculada à linha de pesquisa Educação, Linguagem e Tecnologias do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação PPGEd/UCS, investiga a leitura literária enquanto prática social inserida naturalmente na família, na escola e na sociedade. Dessa forma, ela toma como ponto de partida, indivíduos que habitem uma comunidade de zona rural e que se caracterizem como egressos de curso superior. Seu objetivo é então, analisar como a leitura de obras literárias pode contribuir para o aperfeiçoamento pessoal e profissional de egressos de curso superior, a partir de observações e constatações de suas atividades profissionais e sociais, e de como isso pode afetar as pessoas de sua comunidade, no desenvolvimento de práticas de leitura. Logo, é importante mencionar que esse estudo encontra-se vinculado ao projeto de pesquisa Relação entre profissional eficiente e leitura TEAR 5 . Dentre seus pilares teóricos estão: o conceito de esclarecimento/autonomia de Kant (2002) e Freire (1996); a historicidade da leitura com base em Cavallo e Chartier (1998), Lajolo e Zilberman (1999; 2002); estudos sobre gêneros textuais/discursivos, dos quais fazem parte as concepções de Bakhtin (2003) e Bronckart (2003) e estudos sobre a elaboração de estratégias de leitura, que se apóiam em Solé (1998). A análise dos dados é feita com base em Petit (2008; 2009) que trata um pouco a respeito de mediação; mas, também se fundamenta em Kant (1998) e Jauss (1994) para discutir a questão do gosto estético. Tais pilares buscam focalizar principalmente a formação do leitor, propondo-lhe uma visão ética e estética da realidade que o cerca, visão esta que muitas vezes se encontra fundamentada na literatura ficcional. Esta investigação que se caracteriza como qualitativa e tem bases na etnografia, foi desenvolvida com egressos de curso superior da Comunidade de Monte Bérico, localizada no interior de Veranópolis/RS, durante 2009 e 2010. Do método, faz parte a realização de visitas aos sujeitos da pesquisa, nas quais se buscou observar a existência de materiais de leitura em suas residências ou a presença de algum familiar lendo no momento da visita. Igualmente foram aplicados questionários. Tais instrumentos foram usados com vistas à obtenção de uma amostra representativa da leitura realizada pelos egressos. Sendo assim, a partir de tal quadro foram então elaboradas rodas de leitura, com o objetivo inicial de proporcionar aos participantes desta pesquisa maior contato com o texto literário. As oficinas foram elaboradas visando partir da leitura de crônicas literárias, para então, ampliar o universo de leitura dos sujeitos da pesquisa oferecendo-lhes outros textos dessa natureza. Dessa forma, as rodas de leitura objetivaram não apenas atingir o leitor ou possibilitar a troca de experiências entre eles, mas engajar os egressos de curso superior na realização de um trabalho social com sua comunidade. Assim, a análise dos dados dá indícios de que, diante de um grupo de egressos de curso superior que pouco leem textos literários, há a necessidade de investigar e acompanhar ainda mais que importância está sendo dada à leitura literária, tanto na escola quanto na comunidade, e a partir disso, pensar no espaço que a ela cabe conquistar na universidade. Mas, para que isso possa ser feito, esse estudo possibilitou perceber e então, repensar um elemento decisivo da educação, que é a formação do professor. Discussão essa, fundamentada principalmente em Perrenoud (2002) e Rojo (2000). / Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-06-04T18:48:04Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Deline Farenzena.pdf: 13795770 bytes, checksum: 3c84669253dfd81ffd39cbc6612ee64d (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2014-06-04T18:48:04Z (GMT).

The topic of this work is reading workshops as a means of learning German as a foreign language. The aim of the thesis is to find out whether, and if so, what is the organizational and methodically inventive form of didactic potential in teaching German as a foreign language. The work is divided into theoretical and practical part. It focuses on the literary text and its role in teaching, as well as the representation of literature in the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) and in the Supplement to the CEFR. Attention is paid to reading skills with an emphasis on literary reading, which is crucial for working with literary texts. The concept of reading workshops represents a bridge between the theoretical and practical part and brings four different adaptations of literary texts targeting literary, communicative, intercultural, and linguistic competence. The empirical survey contained in the fourth chapter presents the results of a questionnaire survey, which was conducted among German language teachers at the elementary faculty schools of PedF UK. The research was based on the confirmed hypothesis that teachers rarely work with literary texts, even though they consider working with literary texts to be beneficial.
