DIDACTIC SEQUENCE: A DIALETIC MECHANISM FOR LANGUAGE TEACHING AND LEARNING

Abstract

Abstract: In pre- and in-service mother and additional language courses in Brazil, the concept of the didactic sequence has been largely studied as a theoretical and methodological procedure for language teaching and learning, since it focuses on the work of oral and written texts in a genre-based perspective. This text has the aim of extending this concept, taking into account its dialectic nature. To do so, the article reviews the definition, theoretical choices, characteristics, and modular structure of a didactic sequence, comparing this procedure to the concept of a dialectic methodology of knowledge construction in the classroom, and presents a brief analysis of a didactic sequence plan.
