Resumo: | Increasing numbers of autistic students are enrolling in universities worldwide. These students are taught by mostly nonautistic instructors who try to support them in their learning of academic literacies, without always fully understanding this emerging group of neurodiverse students. Most research on the development of academic literacies, including academic writing, to date has not explored the lived experience of being an autistic student at university. In this small-scale qualitative exploratory pilot study, we draw on Rhetorical Genre Studies (RGS) to probe into the accounts of 12 autistic students from two Canadian universities regarding their interactions with nonautistic and autistic individuals at university. By analyzing the data from the RGS perspective, we have been able to establish and unpack the rhetorical nature of such social interactions. Understanding the rhetorical nature of these interactions provides a first step towards developing effective supports for autistic students learning to speak and write academically in the predominantly nonautistic contexts of universities. |

Esses estudantes são ensinados majoritariamente por instrutores não autistas que tentam auxiliá-los durante seu aprendizado dos letramentos acadêmicos, sem entender completamente esse grupo de alunos neurodiversos. A maior parte das pesquisas sobre o desenvolvimento de letramentos acadêmicos, inclusive sobre escrita acadêmica, até hoje não investigou a experiência de ser um estudante autista em uma universidade. Nesse estudo piloto qualitativo e exploratório com um pequeno grupo, nos baseamos nos Estudos Retóricos de Gênero (ERG) para investigar os relatos de 12 estudantes autistas de duas universidades canadenses em relação às suas interações com indivíduos não autistas e autistas na universidade. A partir da análise da perspectiva de ERG, nós fomos capazes de estabelecer e desvendar a natureza retórica dessas interações. Entender a natureza retórica dessas interações fornece um primeiro passo para desenvolver auxílio efetivo para estudantes autistas que estão aprendendo a falar e escrever academicamente em um predominante contexto universitário de não autistas.ANPOLL2020-09-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistadaanpoll.emnuvens.com.br/revista/article/view/140610.18309/anp.v51i2.1406Revista da Anpoll; Vol. 51 No. 2 (2020): Gêneros textuais/discursivos, práticas de linguagem e vozes do sul em diálogo; 29-43Revista da Anpoll; v. 51 n. 2 (2020): Gêneros textuais/discursivos, práticas de linguagem e vozes do sul em diálogo; 29-431982-78301414-7564reponame:Revista da ANPOLL (Online)instname:Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Letras e Lingüística (ANPOLL)instacron:ANPOLLenghttps://revistadaanpoll.emnuvens.com.br/revista/article/view/1406/1097Copyright (c) 2020 Jacquie Ballantine, Natasha Artemevainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBallantine, JacquieArtemeva, Natasha2022-01-31T23:26:56Zoai:ojs.revistadaanpoll.emnuvens.com.br:article/1406Revistahttps://revistadaanpoll.emnuvens.com.br/revista/indexONGhttps://revistadaanpoll.emnuvens.com.br/revista/oairevistadaanpoll@gmail.com1982-78301414-7564opendoar:2023-01-13T09:48:52.176404Revista da ANPOLL (Online) - Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Letras e Lingüística (ANPOLL)false |
