Os trabalhos de conclusão de curso da Licenciatura em Letras da UTFPR, Pato Branco: uma revisão bibliográfica sistematizada

Abstract

The present paper is a systematized bibliographic review about the Letters Undergraduate final papers (TCC) of the Portuguese / English teaching major at the Federal University of Technology – Paraná State (UTFPR), Pato Branco campus. The aim of the research is to count the number of the final papers and develop an overview of the different areas that the research focuses on, from the creation of the undergraduate course to the present day, between 2012 and 2019, through a systematic literature review. A total of 198 TCCs were identified, which, after reading their titles and abstracts, allowed the identification of 17 categories, namely: Comparative literature, discourse analysis, linguistic analysis, English language, teaching, Portuguese language teaching, English language teaching, Interart studies, Libras (Brazilian Sign Language), Translation Studies, Brazilian Literature, Afro-Brazilian Literature, Children's and Teenage Literature, German Literature, English Language Literature, Italian Literature, German Literature. The synthesis of this categorization indicates that not only the course subjects, but also the different projects and programs offered by the university are of great influence in the choice of themes investigated. As main results, we identified that the research developed is distributed as follows: the most explored major area by the TCCs is the Literatures, with a total of 82 papers; teaching-related categories cover a total of 51 TCCs; and linguistics has 32 studies. These results highlight the main contributions of the research carried out in the Letters course and point to themes that still need to be further explored, which may be subsidies for future TCCs.
