Interação oral em Português Língua Estrangeira: preparação significativa a partir de necessidades comunicativas

Abstract

Our daily practice in the classroom shows that it is necessary to reflect on didacticapproaches that articulate cognitive and emotional variables, "beyond the task". Weurgently need to know the interests and needs of the learners, to involve them in theirlearning, framed in broad proposals, making them meaningful to them. These proposalsshould foster the ability to work with the Other in balanced and motivating dynamics thatchallenge students' cultural and affective identities, based on their representations aboutthe target language (s) / culture (s) and community where they are learning it. We willreport on an experiment carried out in a group of A2 level of Portuguese as a ForeignLanguage, in which we start from the reflection of the learners about their communicativeneeds, for proposals of group activities that aimed at contact with native speakers indifferent services, the construction of educational material by the students, resulting fromthe previous activity, as well as the simulation of situations in the scenarios in focus.
