FANFIC: uma ferramenta de leitura e escrita dos alunos no Ensino Fundamental II

Abstract

Given the current difficulties in reading and writing, technological advancements, and considering that fanfiction is an attractive and easily accessible genre for students, this work, entitled "Fanfiction: a tool for reading and writing for students in middle school," sought to highlight the importance and necessity of teachers using this tool as an instrument to enhance students' reading and writing skills. Understanding fanfiction as any writing in which fans use media narratives or cultural icons as inspiration to create their own texts, this study sought to investigate whether, in this process of creation and recreation, fanfiction can assist teachers in students' reading and writing procedures. To this end, we conducted bibliographical and qualitative research, using the assumptions of Indursky and Zinn (1985), Marcuschi (2010), Pietro (2016), Vargas (2005), Doneda (2016), Lopes-Rossi (2011), and Alves (2018). The data obtained through books, articles, theses, and other academic and scientific productions allowed us to conclude that fanfiction contributes significantly to the reading and writing process of students, awakening their creativity, interaction, and ability to relate texts to their experiences, producing meaningful knowledge.
