Abstract

This study, conducted in the field of Applied Linguistics, analyzes the theoretical and methodological approaches to teaching Portuguese employed in an educational digital game. The game was developed for an extension course offered by Graduate Program in Language and Teaching, in Federal University of Campina Grande. Refers to a qualitative, documentary research methodology inspired by netnography, this study seeks to answer the following question: How are the comic strip discourse genre and the syntactic phenomenon of correlation treated theoretically and methodologically in the educational digital game kahoot? To address this, our primary goal was to elucidate the theoretical and methodological approach applied to the discursive genre of comic strips and the syntactic phenomenon of correlation in the educational digital game kahoot. Specifically, the objectives are (1) examine the connection of comic strips and syntactic correlation within the game's questions and (2) characterize the methodological approaches to teaching these elements. Our findings indicate that the game can foster reflective language learning and linguistic analysis depending on the game's implementation. The analysis revealed three joint aspects between comic strips and correlation — explanatory, commutative, and conceptual— grounded in a sociocultural framework.
