Escolhas lexicais em redações escolares como produto de orientações para ensino de produção escrita.

Abstract

This work has as objective to analyze in which form teacher's pedagogical practice and his/her orientations for textual production teaching has influenced on the lexical choices made by his/her students as authors of their own texts. We focused our attention on composition classes (realized) in a first-year of high school group located in Joao Pessoa-PB. Taking as basis the Applied Linguistics and Discourse Analysis Theories, we observed that the students presented problems while choosing the lexicon in their compositions because they present problems on the linguistic register and semantics. As the students' development keep a close relationship with the teaching practice adopted by the teacher, we attribute the students' difficulties in relation to lexical choice to the teacher's lack of consideration while observing the conditions of production of written texts, conceiving these texts as a product closed in themselves. Therefore the artificiality and simulation of teaching-learning process distanced the students from learning the dialogical character of writing, its uses and social functions.
