A dinâmica interacional entre discentes em turmas de português como língua adicional

Abstract

The interaction among students inside the classroom has not been the subject of extensive research in the area. It eventually legitimizes only the relationship between student-teacher. While this situation occurs, the relationship between learners can represent relevant information about how students construct knowledge from information received in a multicultural environment source. This work aims to contribute to an understanding of how these students interact and with whom they do, having as a main aim to investigate the interactions among students in the class room PLA. Thus, we treat the teaching-learning process as a dialogical activity, in which students and teacher create bonds of involvement not only in didactic but also in relational dimensions, and the creation of these bonds is the result of internal and external factors to the classroom, which end for assisting in the formation of social networks among students. Such networks is to be the specific object of analysis, that is, what factors are responsible for the formation of these networks and how these networks may or may not influence the acquisition of knowledge concerning the students themselves. One of the clearest consequences of the impact of the existence of these networks is the possibility of emergence of assistance between the pairs of students, causing collaborative relationships between them. Therefore, we believe that collaborative activities that occur within the PLA room contribute effectively in the acquisition of knowledge of individuals.
