Abstract

ALCOCER VAZQUEZ, Eloísa; BALDERAS GARZA, Myrna  and  IX CAAMAL, Jafet. The reader at the center: Analysis of a cultural literacy based approach. Sinéctica [online]. 2021, n.56, e1179.  Epub May 06, 2021. ISSN 2007-7033.  https://doi.org/10.31391/s2007-7033(2021)0056-007.

This study analyzes the meanings generated by the reader with the use of a didactic approach which considers the parallel interaction of cultural literacy, the author and his literary proposal framed in a specific cultural model. The study follows a qualitative paradigm under the ethnographic perspective of the analysis of the language used by the subjects to react and build meanings through the learning experience. The reflections of 20 pre-service teachers were analyzed and it was found out that every reader was capable of giving meaning using different genres. Students established a personal connection with the author which allowed for an exchange of emotions, linguistic resources and interpretations that provided a meaningful value to the cultural understanding. It was concluded that the literacy approach helped in the education of critical and creative readers willing to live the experience of transforming their own ideas and beliefs.

Keywords : cultural literacy; learning processes; young readers; reading contract.
