Abstract

By studying the peculiarities of the ideological model of literacy, we can note that it has similarities with what the writing conception as work proposes. This way, this paper has as objective to present the common points between these two visions, in order to show that the idealized literacy can be applied in classes through the complex work that can be done with the writing. In this context, we present the literacy notion as a social practice, the writing conceptions and the parallel between the theories, so that we can fulfill our expectations. The ideological model of literacy points practices which cover different contexts where a person can be and, in the case of writing, it can be applied in classes through the writing conception as work, since it considers the discursive practices, developed in effective communicative situations, where purpose, interlocutor and discursive genre are elements that compose them.
