DIDACTIC ENGINEERING PROJECT: FOCUS ON ASSESSMENT OF LANGUAGE PRACTICES

ABSTRACT This paper is based on the epistemological assumptions of Socio-discursive Interactionism - SDI and it focuses on the study of textual genres and its relation to the language teaching. The primary objective is to investigate the development of the students' language abilities from the evaluation instruments applied during the implementation of a didactic engineering project. The action re-search methodological approach was selected to produce knowledge of valid use in the didactic level. The results indicate the strengthening of interactions between teachers, students and objects of study; active and dialogical participation in the accomplishment of the activities; and greater autonomy regarding the socio-communicative process of the studied genre.
