THE SEARCH FOR A BROADER UNDERSTANDING OF SOCIAL AND CULTURAL REALITIES: THE ROLE OF LANGUAGE EDUCATION DISCURSIVE GENRES IN FAVOR OF INTEGRAL HUMAN FORMATION

Authors

Abstract

Through a literature review methodology, this essay will discuss the role of language education and its work with discourse genres in the search for a human formation that is characterized as integral. The essay presents as a theoretical foundation the understanding that it is work that distinguishes human beings from other animals, conceived as the human vital activity, which raises the concept that such a category is fundamental for the process of humanization and for the development of superior psychic functions, attribute of formalized education. The theoretical framework, therefore, converges with the conception of integral human formation (DUARTE, 1988; 2016; 2017; BAKTHIN, 2010; L. PONZIO, 2017). Based on this assumption, this essay will present both the conceptualization of integral human formation and theorizations about discourse genres, thus creating an articulation between them in order to discuss the role of teaching and learning of discursive genres in formal schooling.
