However, the characteristics of urban 21st century-youth are incompatible with this proposal and this creates new challenges for educators. In this article, we describe a pedagogical experiment involving the use of new technologies, which placed students in an active position of autonomous literary text interpreters. This work led a specific group of students to produce a set of different videogames. This paper reports this experiment, details the computer resources they utilised and briefly describes their different readings of Memorial do Convento, by Jose Saramago. The conclusions of this experiment point to a different work conception, one which is able to remove the teacher from the traditional role of knowledge transmitter and allows for the creation of a suitable postmodern school. portuguesO Programa oficial do E...

It is based on Ana Maria Brito’s works in which grammar learning is viewed as “discovery learning”. In the first part, the author’s body of work on this subject is revisited, in order to create an unified suggestion of grammar teaching. In a second part, a teaching sequence plan is presented: based on grammar teaching as reflective activity, it shows a consistent and articulated development of learner’s syntactic knowledge from early ages, namely from the 1st cycle of basic education
