Oportunidades de letramento em língua estrangeira a partir de produção de fanfictions e mineração textual.

Abstract

This work aims at investigating how literacy in a foreign language may be developed by the use of a digital tool which can mediate the processes of reading and writing. Through the use of a text mining resource, which promotes the extraction of frequent terms present in a text, the participants of this study created fanfiction narratives (stories published on the internet, produced by fans of cultural symbols present in the media). Through data analysis, it was observed that the use of a digital resource has supported text production and new literacy practices, as the authors relied on the mining resource to create their fanfictions.
