Abstract

This article presents a discussion on the initial process of training Portuguese language teachers, showing how digital interfaces, such as the RPG Boss, can contribute to the professionalization of undergraduate students in Letters and, consequently, to the development of reading and writing practices. dynamic and interactive writing in basic education. The theoretical framework of the work reconciles the studies/analyzes of Gatti (2010), Gatti and Barreto (2009), Lévy (1999) and Lima and Loureiro (2016), on digital technologies and teacher training, with the current educational guidelines and the discussions of Rosa (2004), Smchit (2008), Toledo (2015) and Trevisan (2004), among others, about the Roling Playing Game - RPG. It is argued, based on an experience developed with students of the Letters course, that teacher training proposals that include the stages of theoretical-methodological training, pedagogical action and reflection on the action, as well as value the use of different technologies, can collaborate for the professionalization of undergraduate students, either by bringing them closer to the teaching reality, through studies/ research, planning, action and analysis, or by providing reflections on the teaching methodologies of reading and writing in the school context.
