    language in written exercises. The lecturer presents the topic with audio-visual aids or fostering the
    discussion and mobilization of previous knowledge. From the presentation and/o discussion, the students
    are stimulated to participate actively in the construction of knowledge based on the reading and
    discussion of texts of different types, use of diversified materials, practical exercises, favouring work in
    pairs or small groups to be shared in the classroom.
