Abstract

We intend, in this article, to discuss the results of a part of a Master research whose objective was to investigate whether the proposals for the production of digital genres in English language textbooks contribute to the development of literacies. Our theoretical discussions are based on the concept of genre (BAKHTIN, 2000; BRONCKART, 2009; MARCUSCHI, 2004), literacy (BRASIL, 2006; ROJO, 2009) and the guidelines of the National Curriculum Parameters (BRASIL, 1998). Our corpus - consisting of written production activities present in a didactic collection approved by PNLD/2011, Keep in Mind (CHIN; ZAORAB, 2009) - was analyzed in interface with the Guide and Announcement criteria, so that we could answer the research questions. Our results show that the criteria of the Announcement and the Guide are consistent, however, the proposals for written production do not effectively develop literacies, especially for not offering real communication practices in digital format, including therein the steps of the written production process: planning, writing and rewriting.
