Ensino de língua portuguesa: abordando letramentos e multiletramentos de maneira crítica

Teaching portuguese: approaching literacy and multiliteracy critically

Abstract

The present article explores the importance of adopting critical and comprehensive approaches in the teaching of the Portuguese language. The critical approach in Portuguese language teaching aims to empower students, enabling them to question and transform the reality around them. The central idea is that literacy extends beyond the ability to read and write; it involves understanding and interpreting different types of texts and media in an increasingly digital and multimodal world. This includes the ability to critically analyze information from various sources and formats, such as digital texts, videos, images, and other forms of contemporary communication. The integration of literacy and multiliteracy into the school curriculum is presented as a fundamental strategy to meet the demands of today's society and to promote a more inclusive and meaningful education. In this context, authors such as Kleiman (2007), Rojo (2012), Street (1984), Soares (1999), and Freire (2001), among others, contribute significantly to this study.
