A aprendizagem e o ensino da leitura-escrita em bilingues adultos: aspetos da sua complexidade neuropsicolinguística

Abstract

Understanding to what extent learning a second-language (L2) is a multi-layered mental process can prove to be useful from a L2 teaching perspective, in this case. Moreover when it comes to learning how to read and write in a L2. This text aims at bringing some aspects of this intricate process into light in hopes to bring the two ends of adult L2 reading-writing closer: its learning and teaching. To try to achieve that purpose, the text focuses on general brain mechanisms which control the processing of reading and writing as it draws nearer to some relevant issues surrounding bilingual reading comprehension and written production in a L2.
