This study, conducted from bibliographical research with primary sources, deals with the relationship between curriculum and history of Physical Education in Brazil, in First Brazilian Republic (1889-1930) and Vargas Era (1930-1945) periods. Initially, it presents an analysis of the Comenius' Didactica Magna, Society of Jesus' Ratio Studiorum and Brothers of Christian Schools' Conduite des écoles chrétiennes, as historical landmarks of modern curriculum. Then it brings the debate about the Traditional, Critical and Post-Critical theories of curriculum, in particular, the brazilian's Physical Education curriculum. Further, based on authors of the curriculum field of study and using an historical perspective, it delimits the concept of written curriculum. Using that concept, it identified written curriculum manifestations in the concrete reality of Brazilian education. As it approaches the relationships involved in the historical production of the curriculum, it defines two temporal cut. The first, from Arthur Higgins' Compendio de gymnastica e jogos escolares publish (1896) to 1929, date in which the so-called French method was introduced in civil Physical Education, becoming mandatory in all educational institutions in Brazil. The second, Regulamento (N° 7) da Educação Física (Método Francês) publish (1932) until the year 1945, characterized by weakening of French doctrine and military ideas, which mark the end of the Vargas Era. Finally, it concludes that Higgins' Compendio is a watershed in the history of Brazilian Physical Education curriculum, because it has the kind of modern curriculum development, based in Traditional Curriculum features in development in the first decades of the twentieth century. This study also affirms that the Regulamento (No. 7) was produced in complementary relationship to the Revista da Educação Física, a fact that reveals one of the ways in which the curriculum of the Brazilian Physical Education developed in that historical period.

In this work , we present an extension of the objective bayesian analysis made in Fonseca et al. (2008), based on Je reys priors for linear regression models with Student t errors, for which we consider the heteroscedasticity assumption. We show that the posterior distribution generated by the proposed Je reys prior, is proper. Through simulation study , we analyzed the frequentist properties of the bayesian estimators obtained. Then we tested the robustness of the model through disturbances in the response variable by comparing its performance with those obtained under another prior distributions proposed in the literature. Finally, a real data set is used to analyze the performance of the proposed model . We detected possible in uential points through the Kullback -Leibler divergence measure, and used the selection model criterias EAIC, EBIC, DIC and LPML in order to compare the models.

The main objective of this research is to characterize elements of personal and professional development and participation in the proposed training process that may have influenced the construction of teacher identity and mentor identity of professionals in training on Online Mentor Education Program. Specifically, it also seeks to answer the following research questions: which aspects possibly relates to the construction of mentors identity throughout his personal history, work and participation in the Online Training Program Mentors? Which specific, pedagogical and about the mentor function knowledge, components of teacher identity, are presented by mentors that will help them to play their new role? The program has, as its main objective, to train experienced teachers in mentors for follow up and support early career teachers in their anguish and features needs that characterize this stage. The theoretical framework on which it has based this research take into account teacher education and its characteristics; the stages of teaching profession and teachers professional development; teaching continuing education in their different contexts, such as courses, self-education and training within the school; teacher identity and its components; experienced teachers; processes of mentoring, mentors and their knowledge; considerations of distance education, online teacher education and virtual learning environments. The research was guided on a qualitative approach, with the data analysis supported by the descriptive-interpretative and biographical-narrative methodology. Data collection occurred in the selected participants production and activities carried out in the Online Mentor Education Program, featuring a documentary analysis. Data were organized in NVIVO, software that helps quantitative analisis with data organization. After this organization, data were classified manualy in the categories with NVIVO, inserted in frames and subsequently the creation of subcategories and the reclassification of the data, it results in frames that were analysed. The results indicate various aspects of personal and professional background of the participants, as his childhood and schooling, difficulties in their early careers, assistance from peers, continuing education courses, among others that possibly are related to the construction of their professional identity and hence may affect their identity as mentors. In addition, the mentors have a solid knowledge base, however, that does not identify an established mentor identity. In this way, it is possible to observe that it is under construction as it is dynamic. Mentors have a knowledge base that enables them to start mentor actions, in order to help beginning teachers and arrange his own development as a mentor.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the production of sugar cane syrups using enzymes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae from bakery yeast. The effect of theconcentration of yeast, reaction time and temperature for the hydrolysis of crystal sugar solution (VHP) in the physico-chemical properties and sucrose inversion rate were evaluated. Subsequently, the selected parameters were applied in order to hydrolyze sugarcane juice from three different seasons of the year. Finally, the optimized parameters were used to produce the syrups and their physico-chemical and sensory properties were compared to the syrup produced without sucrose hydrolysis. Physico-chemical analyzes showed percentage of total soluble solids (TSS), varying between 74.60 and 76.37%, reducing sugars (RS) between 12.00 and 27.54%, total reducing sugars (TRS) from 67.92 to 70.34%, pH between 4.95 and 4.97, sucrose inversion rate between 14.40 to 39.35%, water activity of 0.75 to 0.78 and instrumental color (L*, a*, b* parameters) from 21.50 to 24.61, 1.04 to 2.45, and 1.12 to 4.53, respectively. The attributes obtained from descriptive quantitative analysis (QDA) were color, brightness, sugarcane syrup and yeast aroma, sweet and acid taste, viscosity. The untreated syrup was the least preferred. Results indicate a viable and low cost solution for syrup production with a reducing sugar content of about 30%, ensuring a better stability in relation to sucrose crystallization, which is frequently associated as a negative aspect of product quality.

As a result of the military regime, Brazil was the stage for the different protagonists of civil society and its social movements, fighting for democratisation of the country and by the exercise of citizenship. People with disabilities were not alien to these processes and were important characters in this context of redemocratization of the country struggles for social rights, civil and political rights, in addition to the search for social visibility and autonomy in driving the own path of life. These movements also occurred in a scenario of institutions for rehabilitation of philanthropic and other associations while spaces of coexistence and solidarity and support to deal with issues relating to disability. When considering the social movements of people with disabilities and their organizations as important interlocutors of social control, for the construction of alternatives for assistance and struggle for rights, this study aimed to identify how they have acted in the conquest and exercise of human rights organizations, associations and groups of and for people with disabilities, present in São Carlos, SP. In addition, we sought to recognize what is the contribution of occupational therapists, inserted in these organizations in the conquest of the rights of persons with disabilities. Participated of the study a group of parents, two NGOs, three associations, a Pastoral and the Municipal Council of the disabled person. In the development of the research, semistructured interviews with the coordinators and presidents, in order to identify the organizations, the services and actions developed; the participant observation of some meetings, meetings and assemblies and documental research of the conferences in the sector of municipal education, health and social assistance and the Statute, folders and primers, produced by the organizations, as well as the laws and decrees prevailing in municipal and national scope. Also it was performed a punctual interview with occupational therapists, with the purpose of analyzing the role of the profession in this scenario of struggles and construction of assistance. The methods were supported by roadmaps and by the field diary. The records were guided by conceptions of the health area on the social control and the theoretical assumptions of Hannah Arendt on private and public space and the political action of individuals. The data were organized in two major categories of analysis: the trajectory of the movement to fight for the rights of people with disabilities in São Carlos, SP and the Council of the Rights of the person with disabilities in regional scenario, and the respective subcategories. It was found a potential of entities in the provision of services, by the provision of assistive technology and conquest of social rights. However, there is a fragile network of articulation between them and with other equipment and social institutions, for the development of collective actions and the exercise of social control. In addition, social and political participation of people with disabilities is also weakened or nonexistent. Many of them still remain in the private space of their homes and without access to essential rights.

Introduction: Pressure ulcers (PU) are common complications in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). The peak pressure on the ischial region in individuals with SCI are higher than those found in subjects without physical disabilities and this fact is justified by sensitivity, motor and vasomotor changes. Objective: To compare the pressure distribution on the seat of the wheelchair of subjects with SCI using 3 different types of cushions (Roho®, Varilite® and Varilite®). Methodology: we selected 10 participants of both genders with SCI (n=05 tetraplegia and n=05 paraplegia). The analysis of the pressure on the seat was performed during two different situations: with the participant sitting in static posture and another step using the wheelchair for locomotion. Results: For the first step to Jay® showed the best rates for average pressure and also the contact area (p<0,001), the Roho® showed the best index for peak pressure (p<0,002). In the step with the wheelchair moving, Jay® showed the best average pressure (p<0,001), the Roho® had the lowest average for the peak pressure (p<0,002), and Varilite® provided the highest means for the contact area of the buttocks and thighs (p<0,006). All cushions evaluated showed lower values to those considered risk factors for PU, ratifying the importance of its use for the prevention. Conclusion: The use of cushions are effective measures to aid in the prevention of PU in people with SCI, but do not replace other ways of prevention. There is the need for proper cushion calibration and guidance on its use to get the desired effects.

In this work, carbon black Vulcan XC-72R was functionalized using five different treatments, the oxidizing agents employed were: nitric acid, sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide. The physical characterization of functionalized samples was carried out using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy. The results suggested that the treatments did not significantly alter the morphology of the material in most cases and showed an increase in the number of defects attributed to the introduction of oxygenated functional groups. Glassy carbon electrodes (GCE) were modified with aqueous dispersions of materials in dihexadecyl hydrogen phosphate (DHP). For the electrochemical characterization of the electrodes were performed studies of cyclic voltammetry employing the probe potassium hexacyanoferrate (III). For all cases there was an increase in the electroactive area as a result of the functionalization. Subsequently, the response of the electrodes to different analytes (dopamine, catechol, paracetamol and hydroquinone) was evaluated, the electrode modified in a mixture of nitric and sulfuric acid 1:1 (CB–HNO3/H2SO41:1–DHP/GCE) showed the highest analytical signal for the different compounds tested. Calibration curves were constructed for the determination of dopamine using the GCE electrode, the electrode prepared with unmodified CB (CB–DHP/GCE) and the CB–HNO3/H2SO41:1–DHP/GCE electrode, the sensitivities of the analytical curves (angular coefficients of the analytical curves) were: 0.334, 3.65 and 6.54 A cm−2 L mol−1, respectively. These results show a significant increase in sensitivity as a result of the functionalization xvii of CB suggesting an advantage over the use of unmodified material for electroanalytical applications. Then, an analytical procedure for the determination of sodium benzoate (sodium salt of benzoic acid) based on enzyme inhibition was developed, where the tyrosinase enzyme was immobilized at the surface of the CB– HNO3/H2SO41:1–DHP/GCE electrode (biosensor). Studies of the inhibition mechanism and optimization of operating conditions were performed. The corresponding analytical curves had linear concentration ranges between 4.90 × 10−7 and 1.92 × 10−5 mol L−1 and a detection limit of 2.1 × 10−7 mol L−1.

Aiming to overcome various barriers faced by disabled people, new standards and laws were created in recent years. Therefore, the concepts of accessibility and inclusion have been more present currently. One of the main rights of people with disabilities refers to the right to education, once this right could provide a citizen to participate more actively in the social context. It was noted that nowadays, the basis of this challenge for accessibility and inclusion, is the potentiality of Digital Technologies of Information and Communication. Thus, this research aims to identify and characterize the role and the use of Digital Assistive Technology resources in education for people with sensory impairment. It was considerated for the proposed analysis, four specific objectives: identify and analyze possible benefits / advantages, challenges / strategies and difficulties / limitations faced by users of assistive technology resources at the institutions analyzed; map and categorize Brazilian initiatives on the use of assistive technology resources to form (or easier) access to scientific knowledge for people with sensory impairment; propose a taxonomic matrix for classification and evaluation of assistive software dedicated for people with visual or hearing impairments; and finally, analyze the role of Assistive Technology for democratization of scientific knowledge of citizens with visual and hearing impairments. The methodology used to achieve the proposed objectives were based in the following approaches: collecting data (bibliographical research, bibliometric study, online questionnaire and semi-structured interviews), Digital Assistive Technologies survey and taxonomic matrix with assistive software. Results highlight some points: although the focus theme of this research is of great importance to disabled people education, there are few scientific studies that deal with this issue; the majority (91.30% - 21) of the specialized institutions in the visual or hearing impairments uses assistive technology resources in its educational activities; the number of Digital Assistive Technologies that can be used in the education of visually impairments people is higher compared to hearing impairments.

The focus in time is the cornerstone of modern manufacturing management approaches; among them the Time Based Competition (TBC) and the Quick Response Manufacturing (QRM). Lead time reduction brings significant gains which are obtained by means of improvements in the shop floor variables. To make improvements in these variables, managers need to choose the best way to invest his limited financial resources. This work look for the best strategy regarding the improvement in time to repair, time between failures and setup time: To perform improvements focused on mean, variability or eliminate the worst cases. The main focus of this work is the worst case strategy, it means, to find the situations in which this strategy is the best option. To perform this comparison a modeling/simulation was conducted and the three variables addressed in this work were modeled using the normal and lognormal probability distributions. Results show that for situations with moderate and high variability the worst case strategy is the best improvement option. We believe this strategy can bring significant benefits and it is probably less costly and easier to implement. For low variability situations we find that the mean strategy is the best option. In addition for this case, for two variables (time to repair and setup time) the worst case strategy is a good alternative for situations which it is not possible to reduce the mean of these variables. For the time to failure, the only good option remains the mean strategy.

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and intellectual disability may experience delays in psychomotor development and flaws in the structuring of the body schema, which subsidize the development of spatial orientation. These delays cause perceptual, motor, and social problems. In the approach of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), the behavioral intervention programs use a variety of working formats to meet individual needs of this population. Considering the body notion as a basis for the development of learning, the aim of this study was to teach individuals with ASD and intellectual disability to discriminate sides "right" and "left" of the body and check the generalization of this concept to other stimuli and contexts. Two experiments were carried out. In the first experiment, participants were a boy (9 years old) diagnosed with autism and two teenagers (16 years old), one with Down syndrome and another with intellectual disabilities. In the second experiment, participants were four boys diagnosed with ASD at the age of ten to twelve years. The selection criterion was that the participants did not present the knowledge of concepts related to the left and right sides, identified in a pretest. The procedure consisted of pre-testing, teaching with multiple exemplar instruction and post-test. The intervention was composed of discrete trials in which an instruction containing three components (movement, body part, and laterality, for example, "Raise your right arm") was presented and, when necessary, imitation, physical, and gestural prompts were used and faded according to the participant's performance. Data collection was filmed for reliability calculations and the designs were pre- and post-test in the first experiment and multiple baseline across participants in the second experiment. All participants presented correct responses regarding taught actions involving three components (movement, body part, and laterality), and generalized right and left concepts to new contexts that were tested with the use of objects. This study used only listener verbal relations, opening possibilities for comparing listener relations training and speaker relations training in the emergence of such concepts.

This research aimed at analyzing the teachers‟ discourses from a state school at the interior of São Paulo State as their understandings about conflict, indiscipline and / or violence inside the school and investigate if these conceptions are reflected in their practices, when dealing with the occurrences of these events in their space. It is characterized for being a qualitative study, using two methodological instruments: a documental analysis, a survey of cases of indiscipline and violence through occurrences‟ folder; and two focus groups: one with the management staff of the school (the School‟s Mediator, the Coordinators of Elementary School I, II and High School, and the Coordinator of Support to the Management staff); and the other, with their teachers.The results were analyzed from the perspective of French Analysis of the Discourse, which allowed us to understand the speech of those educators as follows: their understandings were not the same, there were several contradictions with strong prospects for relations of power. The cases of violence officially registered in the researched school were or sporadic, or were being veiled by educators. Mainly for the management team indiscipline is related to the students‟ learning, and for teachers, by the other hand, the disrespect that occurs between students ends up generating violence in school spaces; There was no standardization for actions taken as indiscipline and / or violent at school, the individual perception of who registered determined the situation and decision-making of theses educators. It was possible to check that students were hardly heard, or had few real opportunities for participation and dialogue. It was only up to managers the deciding of what would be done ahead in the instances of conflict or violence, in order that the matter be solved within by the direction and school coordination. We conclude that, at the school studied, there was a speech of appreciation of the dialogue as a solution tool for cases of conflict, indiscipline and violence, but behind this design, the various power relations that develop within the school environment are still implicit and rooted both with respect to students and teachers, and between these teachers and management.

Mathematics is viewed by many students as one of the most complex subjects and considered one of the main responsible for school failure. No one knows for sure at what time learning difficulties beginning to emerge, but among them there are the difficulties in fractions. Some studies have shown that deaf or low-hearing children have greater difficulty in understanding mathematical concepts than hearing children. The aim of this study was to investigate fraction learning in three sign language user deaf children and three hearing children, all without prior knowledge of fractions, using the computerized procedure of matching-to-sample (MTS) based on the stimulus equivalence paradigm. It was taught relations between fractions, represented as ratios of two quantities, and pictures (relations AB) and between fractions and decimal numbers (relations AC), followed by symmetry (BA and CA), transitivity (BC and CB) and generalization (the use of fractions with manipulable materials) tests. It has also been conducted a test to verify the formation of three major classes taking the decimal number (Set C) as node. The independent variable was the teaching procedure of conditional relations AB and AC and the dependent variable was the performance of children in the conditional relations. The results indicated learning of trained relations and the emergence of novel relations. All participants generalized the learned repertoire. The performances of the participants were similar, especially in the equivalence and generalization tests, allowing one to infer that deaf and hearing participants may reach the same repertoires and, sometimes, for the same repertoires, the same kind of procedure is sufficient for the two types of participants.

Constantly, social organizations, both public and private, seek innovation in relation to processes and products, making it necessary to protect the records of such innovations. The patent document is a useful means of protection for these inventions or innovations, and through its analysis is also possible to demonstrate the growth and development of organizations and countries. The patent analysis is used to evaluate various technologies and innovations through analysis data mentioned in your registration, which enables the provision of bibliometric indicators. This research aims to present an analysis of patent documents in the area of Exploration and Production in the context of Brazil, in order to raise indicator showing the current situation, trends, future prospects and key actors participating in the development process technology that area. The search method includes the literature review for the contextualization and the selection of statistical data related to the evolution of this area in Brazil over time. It used also the Derwent Innovation Index database to the recovery of patents in the area of Exploration and Production documents in Brazil. As a result the following indicators were developed: the section, class and subclass of the International Classification codes of patents relating to the Exploration and Production; the total number of patent documents in the area of exploration and production in the oil sector in Brazil; Technological Focus Exploration Area and Production in Brazil; the companies that deposited patents in this area; countries that deposit in Brazil; knowledge areas and domains and subdomains Technology Exploration Area and Production in Brazil. Thus, Brazil tends to strengthen implementing their technologies and increasing its reserves, and the companies operating in this sector have stood out more and more. Still, the research highlighted the importance of patent documents for companies seeking improvements and technological innovations to work in their markets and the strategic importance of patent documents as a source of information for possible future grants to academic and corporate research.

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women and results in 70% of cases of estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) overexpression, a tumor biomarker. In the present study we developed a sensitive and low cost disposable electrochemical immunosensor, coupled with a microfluidic system, as an alternative to determine ERα, since there are no reports on the determination of this compound in the literature using this method. The immunosensor was developed by the screen printing method, comprising a reference electrode, a counter electrode and an array of eight working electrodes, all disposable. The working electrodes were modified by layer-by-layer with poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) and gold nanoparticles decorated with glutathione (AuNP-GSH), in order to support, by covalent bond, a double-stranded DNA containing an estrogen response element (dsDNA-ERE). Also, we use magnetic particles containing thousands of antibodies and enzymes, wherein the enzymes are responsible for indirect response from the immunosensor and antibodies are used to capture the analyte in the sample. Once that the analyte is captured, it interacts with the dsDNA-ERE immobilized on the surface of the working electrode. In the linear range 16.6 to 513.3 fg mL-1 were obtained detection limit of 10.0 fg mL-1, quantification limit of 16.89 fg mL-1 and a sensitivity of 7.7 nA mL fg [ ERα]-1. Finally, it was possible to test the immunosensor front of a real sample lysate cells MCF-7, which showed that the device is a promising choice for use in the treatment and possible early diagnosis of breast cancer.

In this work are reported the development of new architectures for sensors using carbon nanomaterials. Firstly, the investigation of the nanomaterials reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and carbon black (CB) in chitosan film (CTS) modifying the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for the development of new electrochemical sensor is described. The sensor was characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Using the Nicholson method and the results obtained by CV with the proposed RGO-CB-CTS/GCE, the heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant (k0) of 5.6 × 10−3 cm s−1 was obtained. The proposed electrode was applied for the simultaneous determination of dopamine (DA) (neurotransmitter) and paracetamol (PAR) (analgesic). Employing SWV, DA presented an anodic peak at 0.25 V and PAR at 0.50 V vs. Ag/AgCl (3.0 mol L–1 KCl). The analytical curves obtained were linear in the range from 3.9  10–6 to 3.4  10–5 mol L–1 and between 2.0  10–6 and 1.7  10–5 mol L–1 with detection limits of 2.0  10–8 and 5.3  10–8 mol L–1 for DA and PAR, respectively. The developed sensor presented advantages such as simple preparation, low cost of nanomaterials used, fast response (7 s for each measure). Besides, the sensor was successfully applied in the simultaneous determination of the analytes in synthetic urine samples. The second fabricated sensor was based on the modification of a GCE with nanodiamond (Dnano) within a Poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) film. The Dnano-PAH/GCE sensor was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. It was observed a stability of the dispersion and a k0 of 2.0 × 10−2 cm s−1 was obtained using the Nicholson method and the results obtained from CV technique. The developed sensor was applied for determination of catechol (CAT) using differential-pulse Baccarin, M. ix voltammetry (DPV). Under optimal experimental conditions, the anodic peak current was linear in the CAT concentration range of 2.0 × 10−6 to 1.1 × 10−4 mol L−1 with a detection limit of 1.5 × 10−6 mol L−1. The proposed method was applied for the determination of CAT in natural water samples, presenting vantages such as fast response (9 s to carry out one measure), selectivity and simplicity of working electrode fabrication.

This research seeks to comprehend the play, present in childhood ludic culture, in the wide context that involves child and its stories, social cultures and with those, the educative processes that are produced. The study subjects were forty-two child, between 7 and 12 years old, that participated in Programa Curumim and invited me to play and/or talk with them in the free time. This research sets out to comprehend how children organize and experience their play in the "free time" on Programa Curumim, as well to compehend the relation between the researcher with children, inside this play environment. The research question that guides this study was: What objectives and subjectives conditions, allow the emergency and experience of play in Programa Curumim, particularly in the "free time"? The data collect was made through nonstructured observation, participant observation and field diary. The methodology of this work is based on qualitative reasearch principles, by which, the experience and flexiblity are elements appreciated. This research seeks to contribute to Education area with discussions about the importance of the play, the relations that emerge from those moments and elements of childhood ludic culture that are present in the educative processes built, having as an axis humanizing processes.

In this thesis we study the asymptotic properties for the solution of the Cauchy problem for the Klein-Gordon equation with non-effective time-dependent potential. The main goal was define a suitable energy related to the Cauchy problem and derive decay estimates for such energy. Strichartz’ estimates and results of scattering and modified scattering was established. The C m theory and the stabilization condition was applied to treat the case where the coefficient of the potential term has very fast oscillations. Moreover, we consider a semi-linear wave model scale-invariant time- dependent with mass and dissipation, in this step we used linear estimates related with the semi-linear model to prove global existence (in time) of energy solutions for small data and we show a blow-up result for a suitable choice of the coefficients.

International academic mobility programs have been intensified in Brazil in the last few years. In 2015, one of these initiatives, Science without Borders (SwB), achieved its goal of sending 100 thousand students for academic programs, 78% being undergraduate students. Since the beginning of this governmental action in 2011, the need for developing Brazilian students’ proficiency in English became evident, which led to the stablishment of the national program Languages without Borders (LwB) in 2013. In this research, we developed an analysis of locally produced teaching materials used in courses for students who wanted to participate in academic mobility programs in English speaking countries. These material have been designed by the local IsF team, with the participation of student teachers. Through an evaluative case study (MERRIAM, 2007), we analysed 6 undergraduate students’ experience after taking courses LwB in Brazil and becoming participants of the SwB program. Using semi-structured interviews and developing a virtual group with the participants, we analysed situations that they have experienced and identified linguistic and pragmalinguistic challenges, the latter are related to appropriate linguistic choices that the speaker makes during communicative situations (KASPE e ROSE, 2001; HINKEL, 2012). The analysis demonstrates, based on principles of teaching materials development (TOMLINSON, 2010), that the materials had a positive impact on the students’ experiences. Issues like autonomy development, extensive opportunities of listening speakers in communicative situations and study of genres were identified. This study reveals that there are aspects to be closely considered in ELT materials for exchange students, such as developing students’ awareness about communication with other speakers of English as a second language and using strategies in new environments.
