A School Radio: Socio-discursive interaction tool in the school

Abstract

This article analyzes the work of setting up/implementing a School Radio (SR) in a public elementary school in the region neighboring the University of Caxias do Sul, RS, Brazil. The study aims to strengthen the teaching/learning dynamic of Portuguese Language in schools, as well as to develop multiple competencies in the individuals involved in the production of radio genres for school media. The theoretical precepts arise from socio-discursive interactionism and the methodological framework is sustained by the action-research principles. The results observed up to the present suggest that there is a potential for the SR to strengthen the socio-discursive interaction in school communities and to develop multiple competencies in students.
