| Sumario: | Considering the importance of academic literacies2
as a set of social practices through which
cultural meanings, power relations and relations of social identities have a central role in the social
and human development, this work aims to present actions and demands of the postgraduate
courses from two public universities in Paraná State (UEL and Unespar) regarding to both actions
developed and the needs related to academic literacies. Therefore, we base our studies in the
perspective of academic literacies, as proposed by Lea and Street (1998). The data were obtained
through questionnaires addressed to coordinators and managers of postgraduate programs of
higher education institutions participating in the project. The initial results show that there are
more actions in favor of academic literacies in a foreign language than in Portuguese language.
In addition, the respondents pointed out the need to develop actions related to language teaching
as well as the understanding and production of academic genres (Abstracts, Articles, Oral
Presentations) in both foreign and mother tongues. |
