Análise linguística mediada por jogos.

Abstract

This article presents a pedagogical experience about a school practice of linguistic analysis mediated by analogue and digital games, produced for classes in Portuguese as a mother tongue, by a teacher in a computer technicians training course. The experience was developed to minimize some linguistic problems identified in student writing and to develop students' explicit grammatical knowledge. The differentiated pedagogical strategy aroused the students' interest for the study of the mother tongue and, according to the teacher's understanding, the explicit knowledge of syntactic and semantic aspects of Portuguese can contribute to the development of their abstract thinking, which is required in other subjects, when students study some computer system programming languages.
