Academic literacy in the engineering course of a higher education institution in Montes Claros (MG)
In the context of linguistic studies, in recent decades, much has been said about the reading and writing skills of students enrolled in undergraduate and even postgraduate courses in Brazil. As the social communication practices, there is a need to understand the importance of academic literacy. This study aims to understand the promotion of literacy in the academic environment of ‘’FIP Moc – Centro Universitário’’ (UNIFIP Moc) of engineering students. Therefore, it sought theoretical basis mainly in the works of Soares (2004), Street (2010), Kleiman (2008) and Carvalho (2013).
The research presented here is justified as qualitative and exploratory. The study made it possible to understandthe need to work on the skills and competences of the various textual genres that are part of the academic environment with the students, as some have difficulties when it comes to writing in compliance with the normative dictates of the academy.

Abstract:
In the context of linguistic studies, in recent decades, much has been said about the reading and writing skills of students enrolled in undergraduate and even postgraduate courses in Brazil. As the social communication practices, there is a need to understand the importance of academic literacy. This study aims to understand the promotion of literacy in the academic environment of ‘’FIP Moc – Centro Universitário’’ (UNIFIP Moc) of engineering students. Therefore, it sought theoretical basis mainly in the works of Soares (2004), Street (2010), Kleiman (2008) and Carvalho (2013).
The research presented here is justified as qualitative and exploratory. The study made it possible to understandthe need to work on the skills and competences of the various textual genres that are part of the academic environment with the students, as some have difficulties when it comes to writing in compliance with the normative dictates of the academy.
