THE INTERLOCUTOR IN THE PRODUCTION OF PERSONAL LETTERS IN CLASSROOM

Abstract

Considering a teaching-learning conception based on the discourse as a social practice, experiences in reading and writing in classroom become more meaningful, because resources that allow the student to assume a dialogic attitude are valued. In this perspective, this paper aims to analyze the presence of the interlocutor/other in personal letters of students from the eighth grade / elementary school of a private school of the municipality of Marialva – Paraná. The presence of traces of a real interlocutor and an external real interlocutor will be analyzed, since the proposal requested a receiver. Even so, a virtual and an internal interlocutor are observed. To support this analysis, readings and concepts developed by the Circle of Bakhtin and by Brazilian researches that approach this theory were used. What is evident was the constant traces of a real external interlocutor, but, also, some writing evidences for a real interlocutor, in addition to the insignificant traces of a virtual interlocutor and no trace of an internal interlocutor. The results of the analysis show that the students do not show maturity in the use of the elements of a text, including, the interlocutor.
