Training of Portuguese Language teachers in the final years of elementary school: An approach to the multimodal aspects present in the meme genre
Multimodality. Memes. Teacher training.
The changes in a contemporary society immersed in new Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and consequently in new literacy practices, make new school practices possible. Teaching based on the transmission of content and repetition of information is increasingly giving way to contextualized teaching, connected with digital culture, which can expand the possibilities for the emergence of new multimodal genres. Among these genres, memes stand out for their presence in students' daily lives through social networks, being attractive, interactive and contemporary digital culture. This research aims to analyze the training process of Portuguese Language teachers through teaching practices based on a multimodal approach. The methodology for the development of this qualitative research is based on the instrumental of the collaborative research approach of Ibiapina (2008, 2016) through which the researcher and teachers of the research field will work together in the construction of data, from interventions in the classroom, study sessions and intervention evaluation and planning sessions. As a result, it is expected to build new teaching practices based on the training provided during the research, enabling greater quality in the use of multimodal texts, especially the multimodal meme genre in the school environment.
