O ensino de língua inglesa com gêneros literários

Abstract

In recent years we have observed several discussions about the methodology of teaching English in public schools throughout Brazil. There are several alternatives to promote the teaching of the English Language, among them are Literature and Literary Genres written by authors who use the English Language. Such resources can be possible alternatives for teaching this discipline, allowing students and teachers to get to know new cultures, traditions, countries, arts, trends, stories and facts. Develop a greater critical sense, expand your knowledge, and explore more content to apply in studies in classrooms and in personal life. In this Course Completion Work, we seek to reflect on the Teaching of English with literary genres. To this end, through a systematized literature review, the general objective of the research is to identify which literary genres and which activities are addressed in studies on teaching English to elementary and high school students. A search was carried out on the Capes Periodicals Portal with the expression "Ensino de Língua Inglesa com Gêneros Literários", without delimiting the period of publication. Considering that the initial search presented only 20 publications on the subject, it was decided not to apply too many filters.After reading the titles, abstracts and keywords, we limited the analysis to 15 publications that addressed the topic of this research. Specialists and researchers from some states of Brazil showed the difficulties and benefits of Literature in teaching English in schools and in Brazilian universities and how were their results.The elaborate researches prove that the literary genres and the literature, would be possible tools to teach the subject of English Language in all of Brazil.
