The theoretical basis for the analysis of the object under study relied on BRASIL (2013), BRASIL (2015), Demo (2006, 2015), Martins (2009) e Rojo (2005, 2013) among others, and utilized documentary research. The results indicate that the Languages disciplines have a fundamental role concerning literacy teaching involved in the research practice. It was concluded literacy related to investigative practices and the use of digital technologies should be used as pedagogical resources also in other disciplines of the courses, so that the proposed education may be effective in the modality of education discussed here.
