Discusiones de los docentes de lengua acerca de su propio trabajo

Abstract

In order to study how the articulation of language as a practice and system of mother tongue´s grammar is tackled in secondary and university education, three focusgroups were organized, where different teachers discussed, around a watchword, their classroom´s work and their problems on grammar teaching. The interaccionism´s socio-discursive approach explains the origin of language and thought in social activity. In this framework, we consider one text as a product of social interaction, with three planning levels that, like a puff pastry, intermix: general infrastructure, mechanisms of textualization and mechanisms of enunciation. In this article, elements of both mechanisms are used to analyze three texts of focus groups, in order to draw how teachers account for their own work.
