TEXT GENRES THAT CIRCULATE IN THE SPHERE OF TEACHING WORK AND IN TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

In this article, we aim to discuss the relationships between language and work, focusing on the potentially formative role of text genres in the context of teaching work. We will present the genres which circulate in teaching work situations and those which can be produced for developmental purposes, by distinguishing those which circulate in the sphere of work those which have a potential of learning and / or development. Our study is based on the epistemological orientation of Social Interactionism and uses three theoretical frameworks: that of Socio-discursive Interactionism, on the one hand; and those of the Activity Clinic and Ergonomics of the Activity of Education Professionals, on the other hand. We will show, in a specific way, an analysis of a self-confrontation interview and we will discuss its potential for the development of teachers and for training. We will thus discuss the role of verbalizations on the work situation in the teacher development process, through genres produced in work situations which constitute a symbolic activity in which language becomes an instrument of education and development.
