READING AND PRODUCTION OF TEXTS: ACADEMIC WRITING IN PRACTICE, A CASE STUDY IN THE SCOPE OF UNDERGRADUATE THEOLOGY

Abstract

This article presents an experience report on the development of academic writing by students in the Reading and Writing program of the Bachelor's Degree in Theology. The course went beyond the analysis of reading concepts and textual genres, challenging students to study a specific topic and using a quick writing technique that helped them produce a well-constructed academic article in a short period of time, aligned and well-founded in relevant studies and research, in compliance with academic writing standards. The objective of this report is to describe the practical application of this methodology, highlighting the challenges faced and the results obtained, including the production of 11 articles, currently in the publication phase. The relevance of this report lies in highlighting how innovative pedagogical practices can transform academic training, promoting competence in academic writing and stimulating scientific production. At the end of the semester, the students overcame the initial difficulties, some with the help of colleagues, and contributed to a collection approved for publication, demonstrating the effectiveness of the methodology used.
