Abstract:
This paper presents the results of an applied research in dialogic theory meant to innovate and update the teaching/learning process of Latin language. The research was executed in the school year 2015.1 with four classes of the Language and Literature Undergraduate Course at Regional University of Cariri, Ceará. The methodological planning is based on dialogic oriented language studies that attach the language to the reality of its use, i.e., concrete enunciates considered in their historical, ideological, and sociocultural insertion. The results show that the dialogic theory does represent a feasible theoretical-methodological alternative, whose application promotes heuristic gains for innovation and/or update of teaching/learning Latin language, especially in terms of increasing the students interest and understanding of the purpose of studying Latin.
