Proficiência escrita e marcas da oralidade no texto dissertativo dos alunos de uma escola da Grande São Paulo

Abstract

This dissertation, linked to the line of research Text and Discourse in the Oral and Written Modalities of the Portuguese Language Studies Program of the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo, proposes to verify the degree of written proficiency of high school students in dealing with the standard cultured in dissertation texts and to explain some phenomena of orality interfering in the recording of writing in formal situations. Five essays of first grade students at a public school in a municipality of Greater São Paulo are analyzed. The theoretical perspective that guides the analysis is the Variationist Sociolinguistics that seeks to explain the language in use in interactional contexts. They support the analytical path of studies that deal with Orality and Writing and its relationship with Portuguese Language teaching. The results indicate that there is satisfactory mastery of the language in formal situations if we consider the training internship of the student and the requirements of the PCN in Portuguese Language. The interferences of orality in writing are not significant, the process of constitution of arguments is quite acceptable when considering the age group, the interactional context, and the maintenance of the theme reference. There are problems in structuring paragraphs and formal slip-ups considered acceptable for adolescent students in this stage of learning the cult written norm
