This dissertation aims at describing, analysing and discussing a teaching/learning experience to secretaries regarding the French language. Its core question is whether or not a course with specific purposes would be viable for learners with little or no knowledge of the language but already inserted in the work market. The study wanted to determine if such a course would be efficient or if the students would need a general course of French as a foreign language prior to the specific purpose course. The experimental course was taught at the secretaries union in the state of São Paulo from March to November 2009 and it had 13 secretaries. Based on the observation of data collected and the results obtained, we found it important to add another perspective: is this a FOS course or a FLE course but oriented to the secretarial field? This research shows first the professionals as well as parameters that refer to the tasks demanded from these professionals in today's Brazilian work market. Following, it analyses the genesis and the gradual development of the concept of FOS. Finally, it exposes the conception of the experimental course based on the results obtained in the period of the needs analysis. This case study reveals the core of a teacher's job: the one of being responsible for the conception of linguistic formation that put together conception protocols and procedures of FOS with the secretarial orientation.
Qual deve ser o lugar ocupado pela gramática no ensino/aprendizagem de uma língua estrangeira, principalmente no ensino voltado para futuros profissionais de secretariado? Apesar de ser vista atualmente por muitos como uma componente de pouca importância, a gramática continua a desempenhar um papel de grande valor no ensino de qualquer língua, seja ela materna ou estrangeira. Por acreditarmos que o aprendiz ocupa o centro de todo processo de ensino/aprendizagem, objetivamos com este estudo identificar as representações que alunos de um curso de Secretariado Executivo Trilíngüe de uma universidade do interior de Minas Gerais possuem acerca de questões referentes ao ensino de gramática, tanto do português quanto do francês. Um questionário foi elaborado a partir dos modelos de Besse e Porquier (1984) e de Germain e Séguin (1998) e neste trabalho são apresentados os resultados obtidos nesta pesquisa.
