Text corrections in the school context from a dialogical perspective

Abstract

This article discusses a teacher’s text correction approach with students enrolled in the 4th period of a Young and Adult Education course at a municipal school located in Itapema, Santa Catarina. The “corpus” used in this article made up of transcriptions of the teacher’s speech, in which her pedagogical conceptions became quite evident, especially in regards to normativism in language use. Theoreticalreferences include: Costa Val, Ilari, Geraldi, Elias, Gil Neto, Cavalcante, Antunes, Passarelli, amongothers. The analysis showed that the text correction practice carried out by the teacher does not help students to think about how language works.
