TORRES, Maria Emília Almeida da Cruz  e  ARAUJO, Carolina de Cássia. Student reports on academic literacy: an analysis aligned with the perspective of New Literacy Studies. Acta Educ. [online]. 2023, vol.45, e55966.  Epub 02-Jan-2023. ISSN 2178-5201.  https://doi.org/10.4025/actascieduc.v45i1.55966.

Situated in the area of Education, and focusing the academic literacy this work aligns to the epistemological assumptions sanctioned by the New Literacy Studies, which conceive literacy as a phenomenon that occurs in the social practices of writing, influenced by the beliefs, values and culture of the individual or social groups in which they belong. The objective was to analyze the relationship the students of a public university stablish with writing in order to know some of the reasons that lead professors to say the students of the institution ‘write very badly’, by observing the Discourses (Gee, 1998, 2004, 2005, 2015) reflected in the statements of the students interviews. The methodological instrument for collecting data used were semi-structured interviews in which students could recall their reading stories from childhood to the present day. It would enable the researcher to know what these students think about their writing practices in the academic context, as well as whether the university seeks to guide them to produce the texts that circulate in that context. The data revealed that students have difficulties in carrying out the writing activities demanded in the academy, that doesn´t seem to have a real concern to expose the students to the privileged texts in that context, what may be interpreted as a lack of an effective literacy planning promotion in all areas of knowledge.
