This article presents the results of the analysis of the presentations made by students of first semester from two universities on a science topic. The overall framework for the research is Systemic Functional Linguistics as a model conducive to work and interactions discourse in their context of production. Based on the Appraisal Theory, we analyze the resources that students choose to obtain the explanation, maintain contact with the audience, negotiate a space for dialogue in the classroom and strengthen academic speech. The results of the analysis allow us, on one hand, to get an insight of the role the registration of attitude in the explanation of the issues, with the subsystems of Affection, Appreciation and Judgment, and, on the other hand, to be aware of the importance of designing teaching strategies that help students to select and refine the explanatory mechanisms, regulate their contact with the public and build trust to enforce their speech.

Palabras clave : Attitude system; theory of valuation; critical teaching; orality.
