CAMARGO ANGELUCCI., Thalita. Teaching English and Portuguese as Foreign Languages and Student Errors: Discursive Perspective. Leng. [online]. 2023, vol.51, n.2, pp.337-359.  Epub July 31, 2023. ISSN 0120-3479.  https://doi.org/10.25100/lenguaje.v51i2.12597.

The debate on the teaching of foreign languages has been revitalized in the current context of advancing migration. In addition, the error and its correction merge as a great challenge in the teaching process. In this framework, the aim of a larger work was to analyze the discourse of teachers of Portuguese and English as foreign languages ​​about the treatment of student error in Argentina from a mixed method, whose data were built from surveys and interviews. This paper focuses on the latter. We discuss the results of an intra and interdiscursive analysis of sixteen discursive sequences derived from four interviews. The data indicates different trends: for the field of English, there is evidence of greater rigidity in the treatment of errors, while, in the case of Portuguese, there is greater flexibility. We conclude that these differences are related to sociolinguistic representations of English as a working language and Portuguese as a pleasure language.

Keywords : discourse analysis; foreign languages; language instruction; teacher education.
