Resumo: In this article, we aim to present and discuss the results of a research on how teachers define the term communicative task and its features after participating in a university extension course based on theorical principles of task-based approach (PRHABU, 1987; NUNAN,1989; SKEHAN, 1996; ELLIS, 2003; XAVIER, 1999; BARBIRATO, 2005). The extension course was taught at a federal university in the interior of Sao Paulo State. To collect data, we used a questionnaire, an interview, and recording of the last class of the course in which students presented their tasks. The results showed us that the course contributed greatly to the participants’ understanding of the term “task” once they could define it. However, we recognize that more time and opportunities for discussion, reflection, and implementation of tasks in the classroom, besides its elaboration, were needed to understand the concept more deeply.

Procuramos também compreender em que medida esses professores, ao final do curso, são capazes de definir o conceito de tarefa e sua compreensão sobre os critérios que definem esse tipo de atividade. O curso de extensão foi ministrado em uma universidade federal do interior de São Paulo e abordou a teoria que embasa o conceito de tarefa comunicativa e sua elaboração (PRABHU, 1987; NUNAN, 1989; SKEHAN, 1996; ELLIS, 2003; XAVIER, 1999; BARBIRATO 2005). Como instrumentos de coleta de dados foram utilizados um questionário aplicado no início do curso, uma entrevista e a gravação da última aula do curso com a apresentação das tarefas elaboradas pelos alunos. Os resultados demonstram que o curso contribuiu muito para que os participantes compreendessem e pudessem definir o termo tarefa. Entretanto, reconhecemos serem necessários mais tempo e mais oportunidades de discussão, reflexão e utilização de tarefas na sala de aula para que a compreensão do termo tarefa possa ser mais profunda.Programa de Pós-Graduação em Linguística Aplicada2020-12-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/horizontesla/article/view/2669410.26512/rhla.v19i2.26694Revista Horizontes de Linguistica Aplicada; Vol. 19 No. 2 (2020); 91-117Revista Horizontes de Linguistica Aplicada; v. 19 n. 2 (2020); 91-1172237-09511677-977010.26512/rhla.v19i2reponame:Revista Horizontes de Linguística Aplicadainstname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBporhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/horizontesla/article/view/26694/28157Copyright (c) 2020 Revista Horizontes de Linguistica Aplicadahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBarbirato, Rita de CássiaCarandina, Marina Pereira2021-06-14T16:20:54Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/26694Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/horizontesla/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/horizontesla/oaihorizontesla@gmail.com2237-09511677-9770opendoar:2023-01-13T09:49:26.307187Revista Horizontes de Linguística Aplicada - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false
