RESUMO:

This quali-quantitative research is based on a pedagogical action regarding reading strategies based on methods in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) (Hutchinson; Waters, 1991; ROBINSON, 1991; DUDLEY-EVANS; ST JOHN, 1998; RAMOS, 2005), in the teaching and learning of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) within the context of Technical and Technological Basic Education (Ensino Básico Técnico e Tecnológico - EBTT), at the Federal Institute of Rio Grande do Norte, João Câmara campus. The objective is to identify and quantify linguistic items using instruments and categories based on theoretical frameworks from the Systemic Functional Linguistic perspective (HALLIDAY 1985, 1994; HALLIDAY; MATHIESSEN, 2014), more specifically, carrying out an analysis through the Appraisal System elaborated by Martin and Rose (2003), and Martin and White (2005). The corpus of this research is comprised of responses to three evaluation questionnaires, applied via Google Docs, to 24 participants, and an experiment applied to 19 participants who are students in the Basic Lifelong Training Course (Curso de Formação Inicial e Continuada - FIC) designed in this pedagogical action. The analysis focuses on the perceptions of these learners regarding the pedagogical intervention. We observed how students’ characterize, through lexicogrammatical choices, their perceptions of the FIC Course, using the categories Appreciation and Judgement, which are components of the Subsystem, Attitude, in the Appraisal System, taking into account the types reaction, composition and valuation and the subcategory capacity. Results indicated that the speech was marked mainly by the subcategories reaction quality and valuation relevance. In addition, the experiment did not present a statistically significant gain in the reading comprehension of texts in the technical area even though there was an increase in the score of 9 out of 19 participants from the pre-test to the post-test.
