Resum

Aquest treball de caire qualitatiu es proposa presentar els canvis produïts en la manera de planificar i interactuar a l’aula d’una professora d’història d’educació secundària al Regne Unit, després d’haver rebut una formació en didàctica de l’escriptura basada en gèneres, més concretament, el model Reading to Learn (Llegir per Aprendre), basat en la Lingüística Sistèmico-Funcional. En el marc del curs preparatori per obtenir el Certificat General d’Educació Secundària, la formació incloïa l’anàlisi del llenguatge i dels gèneres textuals específics de la matèria, així com el coneixement d’estratègies de suport a la lectura i a l’escriptura per abordar la planificació docent. L’estudi de les pràctiques i de la interacció a l’aula mostren que la professora fou capaç d’abordar els textos de la seva disciplina a través de la lent del gènere discursiu, identificant així la bretxa present entre els gèneres dels llibres de text (informatius) i els gèneres escrits requerits als exàmens (valoratius). A més, la planificació d’estratègies de suport a la lectura i a les anotacions sobre el text van incidir positivament en la construcció conjunta a l’aula del gènere textual demanat.
