VILLAFUERTE-HOLGUIN, Jhonny Saulo  and  RAMIREZ RODRIGUEZ, Wilman Xavier. Dialogical literary gathering in hybrid environments: Reading and emotional support of adolescents in times of pandemic. Sinéctica [online]. 2022, n.58, e1346.  Epub Aug 08, 2022. ISSN 2007-7033.  https://doi.org/10.31391/s2007-7033(2022)0058-012.

The objective of this work is to study the potential of dialogic literary gatherings as a hybrid space for linguistic learning and personal growth of adolescents and young people who found themselves in confinement due to the global health crisis. This work subscribes to the post-modern paradigm and resorts to the bibliographic and hermeneutical analysis of the voices of the participants. The instruments used are (1) the Knowledge Monitoring Sheet, Risk Perceptions, Preventive Behaviors and Public Confidence in the Current Coronavirus Outbreak Snapshot Monitoring produced by the World Health Organization European Regional Office, and (2) the BarOn model adjusted by García, Hurtado, Quintero, Rivera & Ureña (2018). The techniques of participant observation, focus group, and in-depth interviews were administered to collect the voices of the participants regarding the emotions experienced during the COVID19 pandemic. The variation observed in the results supports the thesis of the significance and coherence of the arguments made by the participants in hybrid education processes. This can contribute to linguistic learning and the emotional containment of students of adolescence and youth ages subjected to contexts of social risk.
