Somos Sur, a Didactic Manual For Discursive and Intercultural Practice at the University: Latin American Literature as a bridge between language and society

Abstract

The Federal University of Latin American Integration adopts a pedagogical proposal based on solidarity integration among Latin American countries. In this context, it addresses socio-historical, cultural, scientific, and linguistic aspects that favor knowledge of the region. This article describes in detail the structure, content, and methodological assumptions underlying the Manual entitled Somos Sur: Discursive Practices in Spanish and Latin American Literature. For reasons of space, and to facilitate its description, it has been chosen to show and analyze a sequence of activities belonging to its first Unit: Relato de un náufrago, by Gabriel García Marquez, from the lesson “La crónica latinoamericana”. This article is the result of research carried out by the research group Produção de materiais didáticos para o ensino de Espanhol Língua Adicional no contexto da Integração Latino-Americana e do Mercosul, registered in the CNPq Research Group Directory.
