PORTUGUÊS E OUTRAS LÍNGUAS ROMÂNICAS: DESENVOLVIMENTO LINGUÍSTICO INTERSECCIONAL

Abstract

This paper aims to present reading and writing language development strategies in line with the principles of the Eclectic Method (LARSEN-FREEMAN, 2000) and the Complex Approach (LARSEN-FREEMAN, 2016) by considering the homo and heterogeneity of speakers of Romance languages’ profiles. In order to do that, we propo-sed to students of an educational institution specialized in Portuguese as an Additional Language activities that considered the intelligibility existing between Neolatine languages. The pedagogical products generated during the research were based on the receptive competences that these languages can instill in the learners. Conscious of their competitive advantage over comprehension and, consequently, over production ability when considering passive and active abilities of students who know language(s) of other language families, those who are proficient in any Latin language perceive themselves more likely and confident to learn additional Romance languages.
