Concordância verbal: uma visão crítica sobre questões de concursos públicos

Abstract

Finding ways to teach verbal concordance to the candidates aiming at filling the vacancies in Public Service, despite their being unaware of the syntactic structure of Portuguese has become a goal of my work and, therefore, the basis for this Dissertation regarding the Master Degree in Portuguese Language. It has been taken into account the analysis of questions of prior examinations considering the main examining boards as compared to the results taken from researches from students essays either written or oral to elaborate ways to act didactically with competitive groups. With the analysis of the research data, it has been noticed the need to teach not only what the students don t know but also to analyze and reflect on what they think they already know, so that they can be really interested in being oriented on how to discover and master the various ways of the language and by doing this, open up their linguistic, social and cultural horizons. This dissertation outlines semiotic and functional action plans in order to give the students the choice of the right tools, the ones that will allow them to face multiple challenges offered by their condition as competitors, with a relative degree of safety. It is being searched ultimately to suggest the introduction of a new special methodology in preparatory classes with profuse resources to enable these subjects, regardless of their previous scholastic deficiencies. The success of this goal demands a magnified and mandatory look on the part of the teacher at the disputes of the contest, to give support to a grammatical theory which is more productive in relation to the development of the ability to read the questions on examinations and the writing of essays
