Based on the Integrated Institutional Teletandem modality – in which interactions take place as part of the class curriculum (ARANHA; CAVALARI, 2014), this study seeks to answer the following questions: (a) To what extent does Integrated Institutional Teletandem practice influence oral competence development? and (b) How does this oral competence development manifest itself in the Teletandem interactor’s speech? For a semester, we attended Portuguese as a Foreign Language (PFL) classes while providing support through analyzing materials and accompanying Teletandem activities at a US university. Using qualitative methodology (ANDRÉ, 1984 and FLICK, 2004), oral communicative competence theories (CANALE; SWAIN, 1980) and, as a proficiency parameter, the descriptors from the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (COUNCIL OF EUROPE, 2001), we developed a framework that demonstrates the building of oral proficiency in two practitioners of Teletandem as well as identifies other variables that may impact the development and evaluation/assessment of the proficiency in focus.Downloads
