Abstract

Genre has been receiving a lot of thought in Brazilian schools, due to its great importance on language learning. According to the Brazilian Education Boarder the work with genre and text production is a possible way to solve its issue on high rate functioning illiteracy. This paper aims to discuss ways of implementing an intelligent-web based system that analyses characteristics of 8 textual genres found in the newspaper support media. During the game, the player can build a newspaper and exercise writing different genres, while a Bayesian agent recognizes genres.
