Language. EJA. Teaching Narratives. Critical Digital Literacy

That said, the theoretical framework contextualizes Literacy(s), New Literacy and Multiliteracies, in order to relate them to each other and to the concept of critic - woven from the epistemology of the term critical, through the conceptions of LAC scholars, of Paulo Freire's works and educational guidelines such as the Common National Curriculum Base (BNCC, 2017) and Curriculum Reference Document for Mato Grosso (DRC-MT, 2018). The research path had as a problematizing question: How does Critical Digital Literacy enhance the teaching practices of Language in the context of Youth and Adult Education and, consequently, the process of critical and civic education of students? And, as a general objective: To analyze the extent to which Critical Digital Literacy enhances the teaching practices of Language and, consequently, the process of critical and civic education of students in Youth and Adult Education. Depending on the nature of the inquiring question and the objectives, the study is based on the qualitative method, under the perspective of narrative research, with an outline of the assumptions of document analysis and narrative interviews carried out with six teachers in the field of Language, who work in the EJA de a State School for Integral Development of Basic Education (EEdieb). The research data indicate that the narratives echoed in the sense of the professors identifying themselves as chosen by the profession when they responded to the call for teaching, so they feel satisfied in EJA for understanding the social role they play; With reference to language practices that are harmoniously produced, with a view to building a dialogic discourse, there are actions linked to the use of TDIC, although limited to the effective naturalization of Critical Digital Literacy; the implications are related to the condition of access and use of digital information and communication technologies (TDIC) in education, as well as the socio-historical situations of students and teachers.
