Abstract

In this paper we present discussions concerning Literacy, Literary Literacy, New Literacies Studies and their close connections with different modes in which Literatures in English Language (LEL) have been circulating in Brazil: comic books, bestsellers, films, TV series, games, online texts. Although this theoretical approach facilitates the inclusion of LEL in Brazilian basic education, through fictions that have been consistently read by adolescents, the public policy education discussed (PCNs and DCEs of Paraná state) do not explicitly encourage teaching literary texts in English language classes. Thus, we demonstrate the importance of inserting LEL in basic education classes with teaching based on New Literacy Studies and Literary Literacy as a way of promoting reflections on social, cultural and identity differences.
