Abstract

This work aims to contribute to the transformation of a reality in which students easilyuse Spanish orality in the classroom, due to the need to use it because of the marketor the influence of the family. But writing in this process not only takes second place,but is often repelled by these students by the fear of making mistakes. I developedthe present research during the Professional Master in Teaching of Languages,therefore, with the objective of analyzing the process of implementation of a didacticsequence of written production of short stories directed to a public of students of theEducation of Young and Adults of High School, of a public school in the municipalityof Sant'Ana do Livramento, bordering the nearby town of Rivera in Uruguay.Developed from the production and application of an Authoritative Didactic Material,composed of 19 classes, with a view to implementing a didactic proposal of writtenwriting in additional language (Spanish Language), focusing on the valuation of thelocal identities of students and also as a In order to stimulate the written production ofthese students, this research had as specific objectives: to point out the mainfacilities and difficulties in the students' learning process throughout the developmentof the proposal, based on systematic self-evaluation activities; to evaluate themanagement of pedagogical times for the development of the proposal, starting fromthe initial planning, contrasting it with its effective implementation; compare the initialand final production of the short stories of the students who participated in all thestages of the proposal and identify if the themes mobilized in the stories produced bythe students point to the appreciation of the regional/local identities. The theoreticalbasis was based on the following concepts: Language, Bagno (2001); Additionallanguage, Leffa and Irala (2014); Portunhol, Celada (2002), Mota (2010), Lafin(2011) and Albuquerque (2014); Fronteira, Sturza (2005) and Garcia (2010); learningfrom Ausubel, Moreira (2011); tale, Gotlib (2000); and the concepts of culture andlanguage teaching. As for the results, I could see from the follow-up of the activitiesthat there was progress in the students' written production, together with thedevelopment of orality. Concomitant to this, the students rescued, through the writingof the stories, elements of the different cultures present in the group, valuing the localidentities.
