Análise comparativa de duas pesquisas que enfatizam os gêneros textuais como facilitador da aquisição de vocabulário da língua inglesa

Abstract

The study of foreign languages brings a global access to knowledge from different cultures. Textual genres are known as facilitators for foreign language learning, bringing along many ways to learn and develop the four skills in the English language. Therefore, this monograph aimed to analyze the teaching process, seeking to ascertain whether there is efficiency in learning English through the use of textual genres worked in English classes by means of two published dissertations. The main authors who supported this study were Santos (2017) and Gonçalves (2011). To carry out this study, a bibliographic research with qualitative approach has been used as methodology, both complementing each other. Based on the information obtained from the data extracted from two dissertations, it was possible to confirm the previous hypotheses set out for the study. Despite of different contexts, weaving considerations about different forms of language and genre, the two studies demonstrated that the use of several types of distinct textual genres in English classes favors the learning process in order to improve the four skills in English language process.
