Abstract

O presente trabalho mostra o cerne – a metodologia – assim como a análise quantitativa e as conclusões de uma investigação sobre os efeitos promissores do redirecionamento atencional de alunos adultos a aspectos específicos da LE. O trabalho desencadeador da 'percepção consciente' desses alunos à importância e ao uso dos conectivos concessivos em períodos compostos por subordinação ocorreu por meio de uma sequência de intervenções na prática pedagógica, em atividades/tarefas interligadas tematicamente, que propiciaram uma maior recorrência e saliência do foco de tratamento. Os resultados promissores indicam que essas atividades geradoras de percepção consciente e conscientização foram as maiores responsáveis por uma alteração significativa na escalada positiva do nível de desempenho na produção escrita desses alunos.
