PRACTICES OF READING AND WRITING FOR THE STUDY AND LEARNING OF SCIENTIFIC ARTICLE

Abstract

This paper aims at explain a methodological proposal for teaching of textual genre scientific article. Suggestions described here are the result of authors experience who work in Higher Education and teach reading and writing Portuguese Courses for lincenciate, bachelor and technological degree in three different universities in Brazil: Federal University of Acre (UFAC), Federal University of Amazonas (UFAM) and University of Brasília (UnB). Systematization of undergraduate activities around textual genres is justified by the need for students learning how to read and write academic texts in specialized areas of higher education spheres. Hence, we expect to assist teachers in Instrumental Portuguese, Reading, Interpretation and Text Production and Scientific Work Methodology Courses, as there are few initiatives which provide authentic situations of communicative interaction in university circles. The target of this proposal is to enhance reading and writing with vocabulary selection and structure appropriate to text type, so that undergraduate students can improve these skills to scientific production and papers submission in scientific events, annals and journals.
