GARCIA, Marta Fernandes; BUZATO, Marcelo El Khouri; RIEDO, Cássio Ricardo Fares  and  SILVA, Dirceu da. New literacies and teaching in distance education. ETD [online]. 2017, vol.19, n.1, pp.211-233. ISSN 1676-2592.  https://doi.org/10.20396/etd.v19i1.8640578.

This paper discusses the different models of literacy in language studies to consider social practices in higher distance education in Brazil. The study notes that the transliteracies theoretical model provides a useful reference for reflection and action upon critical appropriation of the technological apparatus of online distance education, as such a model contributes to overcoming practices and concepts typical of the instrumentalist, deterministic and utilitarian bias in distance education. By qualifying meaning making practices and modes as traversals of roles, media and languages by literate subjects that attempt to overcome a merely functional dimension of contemporary literacies, the transliteracies model supports educational actors involved in teaching in distance education in a more progressive and critical fashion, with the aim of breaking with training programs that have a purely marketing bias.

Keywords : New Literacies; Technological Appropriation; Teacher Training; Distance Education.
