As a reaction to the pedagogical needs of adult learners in mastering speech sounds and sound phenomena unfamiliar to their L1 phonology, there surfaced a pressing need for a radical change in the overall approach to teaching them. A transition had to be gradually implemented in the form of a multisensory (auditory, visual, tactile-kinesthetic) strategies to be propped up with a set of multicognitive ones (e.g. think, associate, analyze, synthesize, memorize) in lieu of the traditional audiolingual ...

The images that individuals create of languages, people and cultures tend to refl ect their own communication and educational behaviours. These images can originate stereotypes, i.e., static, decontextualized, simplifi ed, and abbreviated images, present in common memory and accepted by particular groups (Castellotti & Moore 2002). Therefore, the diagnosis of images and perceptions that heritage language speakers associate with language and culture can enhance educational activity, particularly the ...

The use of literary texts results in extremely productive strategies for foreign language classes. Its resource creates an opportunity for reflective practice on the target language-culture and, consequently, enables the training of skills that are not only linguistic but also cognitive, aesthetic, cultural, social and human (Council of Europe 2001, 2018). Based on these assumptions, this study aims to promote literary texts in Portuguese as a foreign language (PFL) learning and teaching contexts ...

It is widely accepted that reflection and reflective practices are necessary components of teacher education programmes. However, these are not always explored or even fully understood by the very people who are expected to reflect – the student-teachers themselves. Support for these practices is therefore required so that students may understand what reflection is and helped to become reflective practitioners. This article describes the construction and use of a rubric to identify and support reflection ...

In this article, I discuss, based on the studies of Maria da Graça Lisboa Castro Pinto, the theme of originality in academic writing and its close relationship with the research question. Both the importance of formalizing the research question, which guides writing with originality, and the difficulty of post-graduate students in elaborating it, according to this approach, are unquestionable. This constitutes a challenge to be overcome early in the development of a research. A well-defined research ...

Advanced L2 written production assessment is difficult to quantify as are learning goals established for this competence in the same level. Correction is not enough. Quality in writing is expected to translate into lexical precision and richness, as well as sentence complexity. In order to measure these characteristics of sophisticated writing, Idea Density and Grammatical Complexity are proposed as assessment parameters as they were explored by Snowdon et al. (1996) and by Kemper et al. (2001) in ...

Regarding the first aspect, the writing of the work is framed in the Luso-Spanish socio-political context of the time. Regarding specifically ...

The new programmes and guideline documents emanating from the Ministry of Education, where objectives and areas of learning have been redefined, have been discussed and changed since ...

The aim of this paper is to show in detail a teaching approach to change the way of teaching (to teach) Spanish (or any other first language) at university. To do this, the idea that this change must be created at the beginning of the educational system –that is, the teacher training– is taken as a basis. Hence, a teaching experience carried out with teachers-to-be in the subject “Spanish Language Teaching” is presented. This experience applies the cases study to learn (to teach) Spanish and includes ...

In this paper, a specific pragmatic type of request mitigation strategies (orders and requests) is analyzed in the dialogues of two Portuguese textbooks for foreigners, namely, the accompanying procedures, as classified by Kerbrat-Orecchioni (2005, 2006). The work is based on speech acts theory (Austin, 1962/1990; Searle, 1979/2002), on Goffman’s (1967/1980) concept of face and on Brown and Levinson’s (1987) concepts of positive and negative politeness. The results showed that mitigation strategies included ...
