On textual genres used in Biology teacher trainning development

Abstract

This paper discusses reports and articles produced by 4 students in a Biology training course in teacher training course. It analises the enunciative functions of the speaker, the enunciator, and author, according to Orlandi (2003). The Speaker is represented as “I”; the enunciator represents the “perspectives that the I take on” and the author, when the student takes the role of the “producer” of the language, therefore affected by the contact with the social context and its coercions. The analysis of the texts shows that such genres did not contribute expressively to subjective manifestations of the self and being of the teacher. We therefore suggest the writer leaves identity marks in his writting.
