Abstract

This research, inserted in the Intellectual Property line of the Federal University of Triângulo Mineiro Professional Master Program in Technological Innovation, aimed at the creation of a book for the writing of technical-administrative texts, as a tool to fulfill the need to enhance contact of students, technic and professionals with the text genres most used in the workplace. Theoretical foundation focuses on the importance of writing to the professional environment (BARRASS, 1979; COSTA; PAZ, 2017; NUNES, 2017; ALVES FILHO et al., 2019), the writing in engineering (RIBEIRO et al., 2012), characteristics and tendencies of technical-administrative writing (MESQUITA, 2004; SCHLITTER, 2006; BEER; MCMURREY, 2009; SCHLICHTING; HEINING, 2012), the format of professional written communication (ZANOTTO, 2002; 2005; NASCIMENTO, 2010; ALVES FILHO et al., 2019;) among others. The book “Escrita técnico-administrativa no mundo do trabalho”, was written based on the creation of textual genres analysis and characterization activities, specific to businesses. Furthermore, there were the development of contextual activities based in a day by day company problem-situation, with examples collected from public and private companies. From this collect, the materials were analysed to choose the genres to being used like base-texts in the book. They are: letter, craft, meeting agenda, meeting minutes, report and e-mail. The meeting minutes was almost not cited by the companies, however it had been considered relevant in the readings made about the theme. The craft was chosen for it similarity with the letter and for being widely used as much in the public sphere as much in the private company when in contact with the public sector. The methodology used in the book construction considered the following scheme: presentation of the genre, some general questions for discussion and knowledge so as to analyze its characterization ( observation, comparison and genre analysis), followed by a final part about discursive analysis, rewriting activities and writing activities, involving grammar apllied to the text. In some of these activities it was sought to offer context-situations for the genre development. The book is divided into: introduction, one chapter named started point, four chapters about the meeting agenda, meeting minutes, report and e-mail, a differentiation chapter between technical writing and official writing, one chapter about formal writing complements, and an appendix with the activities answers. In the work context, the writing has always been important to plan, organize, register and to communicate. It is expected from this research to contribute for the professional development enabling the interested to highlight in the technic and social context as well as enlarging the writing and communication skills.
