Mögelpåväxt orsakat av fuktproblem är vanligt förekommande på kallvindar i det svenska småhusbeståndet. Enligt en rapport från Boverket har var femte småhus en fuktskada på vinden orsakad av hög relativ fuktighet. Statistik från samma rapport visar att äldre hus med självdragsventilation är drabbade i större utsträckning. Luftläckage av fuktig inomhusluft till vind uppges vara en orsak bakom förhöjd luftfuktighet. Äldre hus är oftast inte lika lufttäta som moderna vilket gör dessa kallvindar mer utsatta. Att tilläggsisolera yttertaket utifrån har visat sig vara en åtgärd som sänker den relativa fuktigheten på kallvindar. Detta brukar kallas för att bygga om kallvinden till en klimatvind.   Denna studie baserar sig på en klimatvind på ett äldre småhus beläget i Skellefteå kommun. Den tidigare kallvinden var drabbad av fuktskador och byggdes därför om till en klimatvind 2014. Sedan dess har ingen utvärdering gjorts om detta är tillräckligt för att fuktsäkra vinden. Syftet med denna studie är därför att ta reda på om klimatvinden på detta hus är fuktsäker till följd av ombyggnaden. Resultatet kommer att användas som ett underlag för att besluta om fler åtgärder är nödvändiga för att fuktsäkra vinden.   För att bedöma fuktsäkerheten har mätningar av temperatur och relativ fuktighet på klimatvinden utförts. Under samma period utfördes även likadana mätningar på en traditionellt uppbyggd kallvind belägen 150 meter från klimatvinden. Genom att jämföra mätresultat mellan dessa vindar kan slutsatser om den utvändiga isoleringens effekt på vindsklimatet göras.   Resultatet av klimatmätningarna visar att den relativa fuktigheten på klimatvinden har legat långt under kritisk nivå för mögeltillväxt. Under samma mätperiod har relativ fuktighet på referensvinden varit i närheten av kritiska nivåer. Klimatvinden har i jämförelse med referensvinden ett varmare och torrare klimat och påverkas inte i lika stor utsträckning av svängningarna i utomhusklimatet. Slutsatsen är att klimatvinden anses vara fuktsäker under mätperioden. Rekommendationen är att fortsätta med klimatmätningar under en helårsperiod för att kunna bedöma fuktsäkerheten ur ett helårsperspektiv. / Mold growth caused by moisture are common in cold attics in small houses in Sweden. According to a report from the National Board of Housing - Boverket, a fifth of all attics in small houses in sweden has moisture problems caused by increased levels of relative humidity. Statistics from the same report show that older houses with natural draft ventilation are affected to a greater extent. Air leakage of damp indoor air into the attic space is said to be one cause of increased humidity. The construction of older houses are usually not as airtight compared to modern houses. This makes the attics in old houses more vulnerable to this problem. Additionally insulation with eps insulation at the outside of the roof has been shown to reduce the relative humidity in cold attics. This report refers to attics with this type of construction as a ”climate attic”   This study is based on a climate attic of a older house located in Skellefteå municipality. The former cold attic had mold problems caused by moisture and was therefore converted to a climate attic in 2014. Since then, no evaluation has been made of the moisture saftey in this climate attic. The purpose of this study is therefore to find out if the climate attic in this house is moisture safe due to the conversion. The results will be used to determining whether more actions are necessary to make the attic moisture safe.   In order to evaluate the moisture safety in the climate attic, measurements of temperature and relative humidity has been made. During the same period measurements were made in a traditionally cold attic. By comparing measurement results between those attics conclusions of the effect from the external isolation can be made. The results from the measurements made in the climate attic shows that the relative humidity has been far below critical levels for mold growth. During the same period the relative humidity in the traditional cold attic has been close to critical levels. In comparison with the traditionally cold attic, the climate attic has a warmer and drier climate and is not affected to the same extent by the fluctuations in the outdoor climate. The conclusion is that the climate attic are considered to be moistureproof during the time measurement was made. The recommendation is to continue with climate measurements over a full-year period to assess moisture safety from a full-year perspective. / <p>Kull H14</p>

This thesis investigates the relationship which both academic vocabulary and lexical bundles have to academic performance at university. While academic vocabulary is defined in terms of the University Word List (Coxhead, 2000), lexical bundles are identified as groups of four words that commonly co-occur, such as on the other hand and as a result of. A corpus of student essay writing in a single discipline, psychology, was developed over the course of a three-year undergraduate degree. To provide a benchmark against which to compare the student academic writing, a corpus of published articles in the same discipline was developed. The VocabProfile program (Cobb, 2002) was used to establish the density of academic vocabulary in the student essays. Similarly, the density of lexical bundle use was analysed by means of WordSmith Tools (Scott, 2012). The densities were then correlated against students’ academic performance as measured by their essay results. Comparisons were also made between the use of academic vocabulary and lexical bundles by first- and additional-language speakers, and by first- and third-year students. A keyness analysis enabled comparisons of academic vocabulary and bundle usage by high and low achievers. An additional aspect of this study was the comparison of densities of academic vocabulary and lexical bundles found in the IELTS writing test and in student essays, and the correlation of IELTS reading and writing test scores to students’ academic performance. The students’ vocabulary knowledge was also tested by the application of receptive and productive vocabulary tests, and the results compared to their academic performance. Results indicate that the 10 000-word level is a stronger predictor of academic performance than either the 5000-word level or academic vocabulary, and that there is a significant relationship between the density of lexical bundle use by students and their academic performance. Both vocabulary measures are therefore arguably better predictors of academic performance than the IELTS test scores. / Linguistics and Modern Languages / D. Litt. et Phil. (Linguistics)

This study reports on the investigation of the educators teaching methods at Grade 4 First Additional Language. The study focused on selected schools in Moretele APO. It took into consideration the teaching methods and the challenges of the environment educators found themselves in teaching FAL. The study used a qualitative method to investigate the teaching of FAL. The experiences and the qualifications of educators were taken into consideration during the empirical study when the observations and the interviews were conducted. The empirical investigation revealed that educators did not know how to teach reading in FAL. They knew less about new approaches to teaching reading and that reading was treated as a separate entity from speaking and writing. The conditions that they found themselves were appalling due to lack of motivation, overcrowding in classes, lack of resources and lack of support from the Department of Education. / Language Education, Arts and Culture / M.Ed.

This study focussed on teacher training in the context of distance education. It investigated the impact on practice of an English methodology course offered by Unisa’s Department of English Studies at certificate level. The unit of analysis was a group of eight student teachers registered for the module ACEEN26 Teaching English: General Principles offered by Unisa’s Department of English Studies. This module aims to help students to understand the approaches that underpin Outcomes-based Education (OBE) and how these translate into practice in the English First Additional Language (FAL) classrooms. To investigate the participants’ classroom practices, the study adopted an open and inductive approach aimed at gauging their thinking with regard to teaching, learning, assessment and how these understandings reflected OBE practices. The aim was to determine how the eight students made sense of this phenomenon given their own epistemologies within the unique contexts in which they worked. Data collection consisted of a mix of lesson observations, in-depth audio-taped interviews and analysis of documents. The interview was the main data-gathering technique. All these instruments were supplemented by field notes based on informal observations which were entered in a reflective journal. The picture that emerged was of teachers who worked under demanding conditions as they tried to implement complex and sometimes contradictory policies and were constantly under the pressure of policy demands. Their practices were, to a large extent, inconsistent with the OBE approach to teaching and learning. Although they gained some theoretical surface knowledge from the course, the students’ practice remained traditional because of two main reasons emanating from the findings: their inability to internalise the theory to make it an integral part of their mental repertoire and the negative impact of disabling contextual factors.The study constituted an evaluation of the course and therefore fed directly into the whole concept of dialogue and student support which are necessary prerequisites for success in distance education. As a teacher educator, this research was also a way of illuminating my teaching practices through practical research that simultaneously informs the field of teacher education. Based on the training needs identified, a re-contextualised curriculum for the ACE English programme was proposed. This proposed new programme reflects my stance that instead of continuing to focus on pouring resources into dysfunctional schools, we should concentrate on the lowest denominator in the system — the teacher. / Educational Studies / D.

O objetivo desta tese é relacionar análises de segmentos transcritos de fala-em-interação de sala de aula de língua adicional e orientações acerca de metodologia de ensino. Em especial, esta pesquisa propõe colocar em discussão as orientações presentes em manuais de metodologia de ensino de línguas adicionais (Brown, 2007; Hall, 2001a; Harmer, 2009; Schlatter & Garcez, 2012; Scrivener, 2012) acerca do planejamento de tarefas pedagógicas e do gerenciamento interacional da participação dos alunos durante a realização de atividades pedagógicas. Para a realização do estudo, foram geradas 20 horas de registros audiovisuais em uma sala de aula de nível básico 2 de português como língua adicional que adota pedagogia de projetos em um curso em extensão de uma instituição federal de ensino superior. A partir do enquadre teórico-metodológico da Análise da Conversa, analiso neste relatório cinco ocorrências transcritas (de um total de dezoito) de fala-em-interação de sala de aula em que o status epistêmico de conhecedor da língua adicional de algum participante é posto em risco durante a realização de atividades pedagógicas. A realização de atividades pedagógicas foi analisada como constituída de três etapas: convite à participação (Ramos, 2010), produção e continuidade. Observou-se que as ações realizadas na etapa de continuidade da realização da atividade pedagógica foram centrais para a concretização de diferentes objetivos pedagógicos. Quando essas ações estavam implicadas sequencialmente em relação ao que fora feito imediatamente antes na etapa de produção da atividade pedagógica, o objetivo concretizado se relacionava ao uso da língua adicional para a realização de ações. Por outro lado, quando essas ações não exibiam essa implicatividade sequencial, o objetivo realizado dizia respeito à produção de elocuções com acurácia. Verificou-se que as ações realizadas pela professora que rebaixavam o outro participante epistemicamente com relação à língua adicional foram ofertas de reelaboração de elocuções. Já as práticas e ações mobilizadas pela professora que trabalhavam no sentido de assegurar o status epistêmico dos demais participantes como conhecedores da língua adicional foram a formulação (Garfinkel & Sacks, 1970) e a verificação de entendimento (Schegloff, Jefferson, & Sacks, 1977, pp. 379). Tais achados recomendam que manuais de metodologia de ensino de línguas atentem para a importância de a) antever, quando do planejamento de tarefas, a interação projetada na etapa de continuidade da tarefa de modo a maximizar a chance de que os objetivos projetados se concretizem e b) considerar as ações de formulação e verificação de entendimento como centrais para a materialização da atribuição do professor como ratificador do conhecimento produzido pelo aluno. / This thesis is aimed at relating classroom talk-in-interaction transcripts to guidelines on teaching methodology. This research discusses guidelines from additional languague teaching methodology handbooks (Brown, 2007; Hall, 2001a; Harmer, 2009; Schlatter & Garcez, 2012; Scrivener, 2012) on task planning and interactional management of students’ participation while carrying out pedagogical activities. Twenty hours of audiovisual data were generated in a Portuguese-as-an-additional language extension program at a Higher Education institution. The classes registered were a basic 2 level group, whose curriculum followed a progect-based methodology. Following Conversation Analysis framework, I analyse five transcribed segments (from a corpus of eighteen occurances) that portray participants’ epistemic status K+ concerning the additional language at risk during the accomplishment of pedagogical activities. The accomplishment of the pedagogical activity was constituted in three stages: invite for participation (Ramos, 2010), production and follow up. The actions co-constructed during the follow up stage were crucial to reach different pedagogical goals. When such actions were sequentially implied in relation to the action previously done in the production stage of the pedagogical activity, the goal reached was connected to a concept of language as doing social actions. On the other hand, when these actions did not display such sequential implication, the pedagogical goal was connected to accurate language production. The actions produced by the instructor that downgraded the other participant epistemic status in relation to the additional language were offers of reformulated utterances. The practices and actions that ratified the other participants’ epistemic status as K+ in relation to the additional langauge were formulations (Garfinkel & Sacks, 1970) and comprehension checks (Schegloff, Jefferson, & Sacks, 1977, pp. 379). Such findings suggest that additional language teaching handbooks take notice of a) the importance of predicting and projecting the actions to be done during the follow up stage so as to maximize the chances of reaching the pedagogical goals previously planned and b) the actions of formulating and checking understanding as central resources to enable the additional language instructor to ratify others’ production (and knowledge) in the additional language at hand.

This dissertation study explored the practices that foster teacher development in a community of practice (Wenger, 1998, 2010) of teachers of English as an Additional Language in a large federal university in the south of Brazil. The community is part of a big internationalization effort in Brazilian universities, named Languages without Borders (LwB). In summary, the goal of the program is to teach additional languages for university students, faculty and staff. For that, the local LwB center has fifteen student teachers, from sophomore to senior year, who are pursuing a teaching certification in English as an Additional Language. Although the community has teaching as its end goal, and not teacher development, teacher development has emerged as an epiphenomenon, for student teachers need to learn how to teach in order for the community’s goals to be attained. The objective of this study was to observe, describe and analyze the practices that foster professional development for these student teachers in order to understand in what ways (and if) the experiences in their everyday life of the community become professional learning. While previous research has shown that communities of practice (Lave & Wenger, 1991; Wenger, 1998) can be sites of learning, and has explored communities among teachers and students in a variety of contexts, there is a scarcity of studies about community among these additional language teachers (Costa, 2013; Merril, 2016) With the theoretical framework of Practice Theory (Wenger, 1998; Young, 2009; Ortner, 1983), this interpretative study (Erickson, 1990) examined history-in-person interviews with focal participants as well as intensive participant observation – recorded in the form of field notes, audio recordings and photographs – and collection of artifacts. The research participants consist of fifteen student teachers, two former student teachers, three Fulbright English Teaching Assistants, and two of the three coordinators of the program at this university. Out of these, five student teachers were chosen for the interviews. Results revealed that this community has both formal and informal practices that cultivate teacher development. The formal practices are planned by the coordinator and enacted in weekly pedagogical meetings, and include practices such as microteaching, workshops and lectures. The informal practices emerge from teachers’ everyday interactions in the teachers’ room, and include practices such as sharing materials, requesting help, sharing classroom stories, sharing specialized concepts and literature in the field of AL teaching, and planning classes together. In conclusion, the landscape of practices that student teachers experience throughout their trajectory in the program helps them develop as teachers through the profession (Nóvoa, 1992) and integrate both technical and practical aspects of the job.

Este trabalho tem por objetivo sistematizar orientações curriculares e pedagógicas para o nível avançado de português como língua adicional (PLA) embasadas na concepção de uso da linguagem como prática social (CLARK, 2000), na perspectiva bakhtiniana de gênero do discurso (BAKHTIN, 2010a) e na convicção de que o objetivo do ensino de línguas é contribuir para a participação mais confiante e autoral dos educandos em esferas de uso da linguagem em que já atuem e em outras nas quais desejem/necessitem atuar (SCHLATTER; GARCEZ, 2012). Parto do que está proposto como progressão curricular para os níveis básico e intermediário no Programa de Português para Estrangeiros da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (PPE) (KRAEMER, 2012), que se baseia na mesma concepção teórico-metodológica adotada aqui. Para compreender o que tem sido descrito como proficiência e objetivos de ensino de língua portuguesa em nível avançado, discuto quatro documentos da área de ensino e avaliação, a saber, o Quadro de Referência para o Ensino de Português no Estrangeiro (GROSSO et al., 2011), os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (BRASIL, 1998), os Referenciais Curriculares do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul (SCHLATTER; GARCEZ, 2009; FILIPOUSKI et al, 2009) e as especificações do Certificado de Proficiência em Língua Portuguesa para Estrangeiros – Celpe-Bras (BRASIL, 2006). Além disso, no intuito de verificar como é trabalhado o nível avançado no ensino de PLA, analiso três livros didáticos de nível avançado – Português Via Brasil (LIMA; IUNES, 2005), Português para estrangeiros: nível avançado (MARCHANT, 1997) e Panorama Brasil: Ensino do Português como Língua Estrangeira Voltado para o Mundo dos Negócios (PONCE et al, 2006) – e a atual apostila da disciplina de Estudos Avançados do Texto do PPE (RAMOS et al, 2009/2010). Nos documentos e nos materiais, aponto: como é organizada a progressão; qual é a metodologia de ensino proposta; quais são os conteúdos e os objetivos em nível avançado. A partir da análise, apresento possíveis objetivos de ensino para um curso de nível avançado de PLA e os princípios orientadores para o planejamento de unidades didáticas nesse nível, ilustrando-os em uma unidade didática criada por mim. Este trabalho pretende contribuir com orientações curriculares e pedagógicas para o ensino de PLA em nível avançado e com uma proposta de referência para a elaboração de unidades didáticas como subsídios para o planejamento de projetos pedagógicos de nível avançado que tenham como objetivo ampliar a participação em diversas práticas sociais que se fazem em língua portuguesa de modo mais autônomo, autoral, confiante e crítico. / This work aims to systematize pedagogical and curriculum guidelines for the advanced level of Portuguese as an additional language (PAL) based on the conception of language use as social practice (CLARK, 2000), Bakhtin's perspective of speech genre (BAKHTIN, 2010a) and the conviction that the goal of language teaching is to contribute for a more confident and authorial participation of students in spheres in which they already perform and in which they need/ would like to perform (SCHLATTER; GARCEZ, 2012). The bases for the guidelines are the educational goals and the curricular proposal for the Program of Portuguese for Speakers of Other Languages of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (PPE) (KRAEMER, 2012), informed by the same theoretical and methodological perspectives adopted here. In order to map what has been described as advanced proficiency in Portuguese and advanced PAL teaching objectives, four documents related to Portuguese teaching and assessment are studied, namely the European Framework for Teaching Portuguese Abroad (GROSSO et al. 2011), the National Curriculum Parameters (BRASIL, 1998), the State Standards for Portuguese/English/Spanish Language, Arts and Literacy (SCHLATTER; GARCEZ, 2009; FILIPOUSKI et al, 2009) and the specifications of the Certificate of Proficiency in Portuguese for Speakers of Other Languages – Celpe-Bras (BRASIL, 2006). Moreover, in order to verify how the advanced level is dealt with in PAL teaching proposals, three advanced level textbooks – Português Via Brasil (LIMA; IUNES, 2005), Português para estrangeiros: nível avançado (MARCHANT, 1997) and Panorama Brasil: Ensino do Português como Língua Estrangeira Voltado para o Mundo dos Negócios (PONCE et al, 2006) – and the current unpublished worksheets and lesson plans designed for Advanced Portuguese Studies at PPE (RAMOS et al, 2009/2010) are analyzed. The analysis of the documents and textbooks focused on the organization of the curricular progression, the teaching methodology, the contents and the objectives for advanced Portuguese. Based on the results of the analysis, PAL teaching objectives for advanced levels and guiding principles for designing teaching units are proposed. A worksheet for an advanced Portuguese class was created to illustrate how to plan a lesson based on the guidelines proposed. This work aims to contribute with curriculum and pedagogical guidelines for advanced level PAL teaching and with a reference proposal for the design of lesson plans whose goals are to engage students in educational projects and foster their participation in various social practices in a more autonomous, authorial, confident and critical way.

Esta dissertação tem como escopo de análise a enunciação que ocorre em sala de aula de português como língua adicional. A configuração do corpus se dá em forma de um testemunho dado pela pesquisadora, que se colocou como observadora em uma sala de aula da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, onde alunos, falantes de espanhol, matriculados no curso Básico para Falantes de Espanhol do Programa de Português para Estrangeiros da universidade supracitada, tiveram aulas de português com uma professora brasileira. A noção de testemunho aqui apresentada inspira-se em Giorgio Agamben (2005; 2008) e leva em conta o conceito de “falas em relação” (SURREAUX, 2010). Diante desses fatos de linguagem, primeiramente refletimos sobre a configuração dos dados como resultado do relato de uma experiência: o que significa viver uma experiência de linguagem e relatá-la? Pensando nas relações intersubjetivas que constituem as situações de diálogo em sala de aula de língua adicional, temos, de um lado, o aluno, que se coloca como aprendiz de uma nova língua, que é interrogado por uma nova possibilidade de dizer e ser eu no mundo e, de outro lado, o professor, que se volta para o que vivencia em sua língua materna para ensinar um novo modo de o outro se fazer estar no mundo através da enunciação em português como língua adicional. É essa interlocução fundante em sala de aula que este trabalho pretende interrogar, por meio destas perguntas norteadoras: a) como se dá essa (re)organização de sentidos da própria língua para que o outro signifique a partir de minhas experiências na língua?; b) o professor se encontra em uma dupla instância conjugada: falante de português e professor de português. De que modo se dá, na enunciação, esse transitar entre o olhar do falante para o olhar de um analista da língua? A perspectiva teórica na qual nos inscrevemos para responder tais questões é a teoria enunciativa de Émile Benveniste e sua consideração do homem enquanto fundado na linguagem. Baseados nesses pressupostos, colocamo-nos ao lado de uma antropologia da enunciação (DESSONS, 2006). O corpus textual de pesquisa (FLORES, 2013) definido dentre a produção benvenistiana visa a um percurso que possibilita a reflexão sobre a intersubjetividade, ancorada no dispositivo eu-tu/ele, como um elemento de cultura. Como uma atitude compatível com o olhar que a ancoragem teórica de Émile Benveniste nos inspira, os dados são apresentados já no início do trabalho como forma de buscar explicitar a relação entre falante - categoria antropológica - e analista de linguagem - categoria linguística -, as quais se imbricam de maneira constitutiva no discurso não apenas de professor e aluno em sala de aula, mas da própria pesquisadora, cujo olhar define o objeto de estudo deste trabalho. Estabelecendo a relação entre linguística e semiologia, situamos nosso trabalho em uma semiologia de segunda geração, cuja análise metassemântica se apresenta em um segundo momento de aparecimento dos dados no trabalho, que constitui-se de uma glosa. A análise revela os mecanismos enunciativos presentes: a) o professor parte da sua história de enunciações para promover as explicações sobre a sua própria língua para o aluno; b) o questionamento do aluno de sua língua materna e da língua adicional tem papel determinante na sua inscrição em uma nova experiência de linguagem; c) A aula de PLA é uma aula de interpretância da língua. O trabalho busca contribuir para a compreensão de mecanismos enunciativos que compõem os discursos de professor e aluno em sala de aula de língua adicional, de maneira a instigar uma visão de ensino de língua que leve em conta a língua e a cultura de maneira indissociável. / This work has the enunciation that occurs in Portuguese as an additional language classroom as its scope of analysis. The configuration of the corpus is a testimony of the researcher, who was an observer in a classroom of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, where students, speakers of Spanish enrolled in the course Basic for Spanish Speakers of the Program of Portuguese for Foreigners of the same university, had classes of Portuguese with a Brazilian teacher. The notion of testimony here presented is inspired by Giorgio Agamben (2005; 2008) and it takes into account the concept of “utterances in relation” (SURREAUX, 2010). In front of these facts of language, we firstly reflect on the configuration of data as the result of a report of experience: what does it mean to live an experience of language and report it? Thinking of the intersubjective relations which constitute the situations of dialogue in the classroom of additional language, there is, on the one side, the student, who occupies the position of learner of a new language and is interrogated by a new possibility of saying and being I in the world and, on the other side, there is the teacher, who turns to what he lives in his mother language in order to teach a new mode for the other to be in the world through the enunciation of Portuguese as an additional language. It is this founding interlocution in classroom that this work intends to interrogate, through the following guiding questions: a) how is the reorganization of signification of my own language for the other based in my experiences in language?; b) the teacher finds a double conjugated instance: speaker of Portuguese and Portuguese teacher. How does the transition of positions occur in the enunciation, between the eye of the speaker and the eye of the analyst of language? Based on these assumptions, we place ourselves on the side of an anthropology of enunciation (DESSONS, 2006). The textual corpus of research (FLORES, 2013) defined among the benvenistian production aims at a path which enables the reflection about intersubjectivity, anchored in the apparatus I-you/he, as an element of culture. As a compatible attitude with the perspective inspired by the theoretical anchorage of Émile Benveniste, the data are presented in the beginning of the work as a means to explicit the relation between speaker – anthropological category – and analyst of language – linguistic category -, which are imbricated in a constitutive manner in the discourse, not only in the teacher’s and students’ discourse, but in the own researcher’s, whose eyes define the object of study of this work. Establishing the relation between linguistics and semiology, we locate our work in a semiology of second generation, whose metassemantic analysis is presented in a second moment of data in the work, what is constituted by a gloss. The analysis reveals the enunciative mechanisms: a) the teacher bases his explanations about his own language for the student in his/her history of enunciations; b) the learner’s questioning of his/her mother language and of the additional language has a determinant role in his/her inscription in a new experience of language; c) The Portuguese as an additional language class is a class of interpretation of language. This work aims at contributing for the comprehension of enunciative mechanisms which compound teacher’s and students’ discourses in classroom of additional language in order to instigate a vision of language teaching which considers language and culture indivisible.

This thesis is mainly focused on the analysis of the selected service facilities in Trebon (Aurora Spa and Berta Spa) and the proposal of optimal development plan for maintaining competitiveness in Berta Spa. The importace of the thesis consists in the diagnostic level and quality of services provided in these facilities. The thesis is carried out analyzing market conditions, the internal environment of the spas. In order to elaborate this thesis 139 questionnaires in the survey were obtained and structured interviews with the staff of the spas were conducted. The purpose of this thesis is also summarize the observations of the spa and wellness trends, proposing the possibility of other services including cost calculation. The observations can serve as a basis for future studies and help to develop a supply of spa facilities in Trebon.

O Inglês para Fins Específicos é a abordagem de ensino que ancora o trabalho feito no instituto federal no qual trabalho. Ele tem como premissa básica o ensino focado em uma análise de necessidades, ou seja, tudo o que é ensinado/aprendido está em alinhamento com o que os aprendizes necessitam em seu ambiente acadêmico e profissional. Por causa de mitos e dogmas enraizados ao longo das décadas, porém, a abordagem transformou-se exclusivamente no ensino de leitura e originou distorções na proposta original. O estudo parte da pergunta de pesquisa: O que o aluno participante desta pesquisa vê como prioridade em sua aprendizagem de inglês na escola? Outras perguntas surgiram após conversar com os dados coletados: Por que os alunos participantes querem um ensino e a escola propicia outro?; O que falta na sala de aula para amenizar essa lacuna entre o desejo dos alunos-participantes e a oferta da escola?; e, O que nós, professores, podemos fazer em relação às propostas pedagógicas para preencher esse espaço, à luz dos dados coletados e da revisão de literatura? Investigo então o posionamento de 65 aprendizes do 3 ano do ensino médio da escola na qual trabalho, através de questionários e entrevista nos moldes de um grupo focal com 5 participantes, sobre o que eles veem como prioridade na aprendizagem de inglês na escola e reflito sobre práticas pedagógicas que poderiam atender às necessidades apontadas pelos participantes. Dentro do espírito (in)disciplinar da Linguística Aplicada e dentro de um paradigma qualitativo, a análise das respostas pautou-se na recorrência de temas nas respostas às perguntas do questionário e participação no grupo focal. Temas que recorreram com frequência alta formaram categorias que serviram de base para a discussão. Selecionei duas perguntas do questionário para a análise: a pergunta (9) como você espera que seja o ensino de inglês no Ensino Médio? e a (10) quais habilidades vocês gostariam de desenvolver?, por sua relação direta com o objetivo da pesquisa. A categoria que emergiu das menções mais recorrentes nos proferimentos dos alunos foi comunicação oral, em um total de 62 menções. Outras oito categorias emergiram do corpus. Considerei frequência alta, e por isso categórica, a quantidade de 17 menções. A partir desses resultados, defendo neste trabalho que a voz do aluno (que grita urgência ao aprendizado da comunicação oral) seja ouvida nesse processo, e que uma nova pedagogia pós-metodológica seja implantada no ensino-aprendizagem de línguas no ensino médio e técnico / English for Specific Purposes is the approach that supports the work done at the federal institute where I teach. Its primary premise is the process of teaching based on a needs analysis, i.e., everything that is taught/learned is in alignment with what learners need in their academic and professional environment. Because of myths and dogmas rooted over the decades, however, the approach became exclusively the teaching of reading and originated distortions from the original proposal. The study starts with the following research question: What do the students that participate in this research see as a priority in their learning of English in school? Other questions arose after dealing with the data: Why do students want to learn something and the school provide something else?; What is missing in the classroom to minimize the gap between the desire of the participant students and what the school provides?; and, What can we, teachers, do in relation to pedagogical proposals to fill this gap, in light of the collected data and the literature review? I then investigate the opinion of 65 apprentices in the 3rd year of high school, through questionnaires and a focal group interview with 5 participants, questioning what they see as a priority in learning English in school and then I reflect on pedagogical practices that could meet the needs identified by the participants. In the spirit of the (in)disciplinary Applied Linguistics and within a qualitative paradigm, the analysis of the responses was based on recurrent themes in the responses to the questions in the questionnaire and participation in the focus group. Themes that recurred frequently formed categories that were the basis for the discussion. I selected two questions for analysis: the question (9) "how do you expect the English teaching to be in high school?" and (10) "what language skills would you like to develop?" because of its direct relationship with the goal of this research. The category that emerged from the most recurrent students utterances was "oral communication" in a total of 62 entries. Another eight categories emerged from the data. I considered the quantity of 17 entries "high frequency", and therefore categorical. From these results, I argue in this paper that the students voice (that screams urgency in learning oral communication) to be heard in this process, and that a new post-methodological pedagogy is implemented in the teaching and learning of languages in high/technical schools
