Abstract

The aim of this study is to show how metalinguistic skills and communicative competence of teenagers from first semester (out of six) are developed through a writing strategy based on paragraph structures. The study is based on the theoretical frames of Jakobson (1962) regarding a target language and a metalanguage; the teaching strategy is based on Serafini’s proposals (1996), who presents the teaching of writing, first as a process (prewriting, writing and revision); and second, that of writing itself, with eight types of paragraph structures (enumerative, concept development, sequencing, comparative, problem/solution, cause-effect, introduction and closing). The method used in the study is action research in the classroom. We show the case of a 15 year old student from high school, case in which a teaching strategy focuses on writing training in basic language structures: from the simple sentence, to paragraph, and then to the text structure. The case described presents a meta-linguistic competence regarding the monitoring of traditional grammar and textual grammar structures; the student writes paragraphs with cohesion and coherence, using differentiated intermediate punctuation; he uses connectors as a form of interfrastic cohesion, controlling and monitoring the length of about 20 words statements as a communicative way with little subordination; he shows awareness in managing his own discursive forms of the texts he writes, especially macrostructure: introduction, development and closing.
