Marcadores conversacionais em Português Língua Estrangeira : da teoria à prática

Abstract

This study aims to present an appropriate sample of activities focused on Conversational process of Portuguese as a Foreign Language (PFL). By taking into account learners’ specific needs in the oral domain, i.e., a lack or incipient use of CM– a research project was implemented regarding a global development of their oral skills (comprehension and production), and especially centred in a more consistent and adequate use of CM. The results of this project, which depict a greater use of CM in learners’ oral productions, demonstrate an effective increase of their skills in this domain, validates the methodological path adopted, and therefore, contributes for an holistic and systematic development of the oral competence.
