A instrução formal da gramática no ensino/aprendizagem de L2: benefícios e propostas

Adriana Maria Tenuta de Azevedo

Abstract


This text aims at dealing with the following questions: “Should weteach grammar?”; “If we should, how can instruction of aspects ofthe grammatical structure of the target language be of benefit tothe learner of L2?”. This kind of instruction had been considered‘out of fashion’ for some time; however, in the 80’s there was a‘rebirth’ of the interest in grammar instruction. We will focus onthe dichotomy product/process concerning language and grammar,with the intention of arguing in favor of Batstone’s pedagogicalcontinuum. Also, we will approach TBLT and C-R, which show apreference for the view of process without neglecting the necessityfor precise regulation of the linguistic production of the learner. CRalso considers the notion of the relationship among thegrammatical segments of syntax, semantics and discourse asfundamental .
