GODINEZ LOPEZ, Eva Margarita. Academic texts and discourse. Definitions to start a writing center in a teachers training school. Sinéctica [online]. 2021, n.56, e1172.  Epub 06-Maio-2021. ISSN 2007-7033.  https://doi.org/10.31391/s2007-7033(2021)0056-010.

This paper examines various concepts related to academic texts writing from a functionalist and interactionist perspective of discourse and language, with the aim of reflecting on the purpose of writing centers and to establish a theoretical framework which substantiates the practice of a center aimed at teacher’s education. In this work, literacy and academic literacy are circumscribed in the context of initial teachers training. Social and epistemological aspects of common writing practices in higher education are addressed, as well as the linguistic aspects that characterize these types of texts and that can represent challenges for students. It is concluded that the practical reason of the writing center must be grounded on a clear theoretical-pedagogical position, based on the knowledge of the features of discourse and language used in such process of inculturation, which has a social, cognitive and linguistic character.
