Literature teaching at secondary level: paths and pitfalls
Reading. Literary reading at school. Literature teaching.
The objective of this dissertation is to investigate, through an intertextual perspective, how literature is taught in high schools today and how contemporary literature studies can contribute to the improvement of this teaching in the face of new reading processes and readers arising from modernity. We will initially adopt a qualitative methodology that will be based on bibliographical research in order to understand, develop, clarify and modify concepts and ideas, such as the concepts of: literature, reading, reader, literacy and literary reading. Then, with the aim of deeper explanations and a broader and more practical understanding of the problem, we will apply one hundred forms in the three years of high school at the Centro Educacional 619 school in Samambaia Norte in the Federal District. The questionnaires seek to question students about their reading habits as well as their view of literature. We will also investigate the incentive and literature teaching strategies adopted by the school. In the end, we hope to have pointed out some paths for teaching literature that can overcome some of the many obstacles encountered from the readings and data collected in the research.
