The Reading Process of Portuguese Students in LLCER and LEA Programs in the French University Context

Abstract

In this article, we present an analysis of the reading process within the scope of Portuguese teaching in a French university, more precisely at Rennes 2 University. For this, we retrieved a research protocol developed between 2014 and 2018 (BOGANIKA, 2018), with which, from a contrastive perspective, we analyzed the effects of the Brazilian and French school systems on the learning of reading comprehension. With the aim of reflecting about reading in the study of Portuguese, with special attention to the heterogeneity of Portuguese language classes, this study describes the composition of study participants, all of whom were enrolled at Rennes 2 University. Subsequently, the research protocol and qualitative analysis of the data are presented. It was necessary to select the most relevant aspects of the analyzed data during qualitative analysis. This study focuses on the construction of reading comprehension based on the analysis of polyphony and value judgment. These analyses precede the conclusions.
