Understand the communication to teach better. Educational actions supported in psycholinguistics

Abstract

This paper describes the various stages of oral discourse, understanding, and psychological processes linked to each one of them, postulated by the theory of the processing of information. Being these psychological processes built by symbolic tools of linguistic nature, it is postulated that discursive style of teaching can promote or hinder the construction of conceptual meanings in the students, depending on either the discursive structure, which includes general considerations about grammar, and syntactical structures as pedagogical and conceptual issues specific to the discipline.
