نبذة مختصرة : The present work aims to discuss, from the perspectives related to the verbal interaction and discursive genres postulated by Bakhtin (2003), Bakhtin/Volochínov (2006) and Geraldi (1997) and reading and writing conceptions proposed by Kleiman (2013) and Antunes (2005, 2009, 2012), how we can contribute to broadening reading and writing skills, promoting the contextual use of the chosen discourse genre, namely the letter. Our studies were also based on Rojo and Barbosa (2015), Rojo (2013) and Araújo and Leffa (2016) regarding the use of new technologies in school. As for the type of research, in relation to the procedures, it is an action-research and participant; about the approach, is qualitative, with ethnographic traits, since it involves the improvement of teaching practices through our interferences, whose information was gathered through a field work. The subjects selected for the survey are 8th grade students from the municipal public-school system in Belém. The corpus of this research is composed of handwritten letters and Facebook posts produced by the mentioned students. As a general objective, we intend to verify in what sense the writing of the discursive letter genre mobilizes different knowledge when it is used in school practices centered as close as possible to the linguistic situations of the students. Regarding the specific objectives, we intend: (i) to ascertain how these same subjects behave in a context with the singularities of the virtual world; and (ii) to verify how the use of speech sequencers facilitates the construction of meanings in their productions. To do this, we introduce the use of Facebook so that they also position themselves as critical readers, in order to compare what differentiates their critical online position from conventional writing, thus comparing the contexts of production and the differences that this implies in the lexical choices. In addition to the aforementioned authors, we have been in Lopes-Rossi (2008) and Solé (1998), which have led some of the guidelines ...
