Autopercepción de estrategias de comunicación oral en estudiantes brasileños de español y en estudiantes argentinos de inglés

Abstract

This work is part of the !eld of Spanish as a foreign language, specifically, on the subject of self-perception regarding the use of oral communication strategies. We focus on the case of Brazilian beginner-level students of Spanish in an institutional context. In order to investigate whether what happens with Spanish is replicated in other languages and to determine if there is any particularity to Spanish learning, we compare this case with Argentine students of English as a foreign language, in a similar context. The instrument used in both groups was a self-perception survey. The methodology used was the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the data obtained, by calculating the percentages of the communicative strategies used and their interpretation. The importance of the study lies in the contributions it can provide for foreign language teaching and learning.
