Abstract

This paper aims at showing that, when working with texts that circulate in society, the concept of argumentation traditionally used should be broadened. Based on the theoretical contribution of text and discourse analysts, it proposes some didactic tools to be used by teachers to improve the argumentative potential of students in their written production. To illustrate this idea, the analysis of a text in circulation in business activity is proposed. Evidently, when we work with empirical texts, analytical instruments must be adapted to the contextual situations in which they are produced/interpreted. Thus, we defend the relevance of the role of teaching ‘savoir faire’ to improve the student development.
