SUMMARY:

In the context of globalization and multiculturalism in which we find ourselves, there is a need to educate language learners to deal with symbolic values, negotiate positions, not merely focusing on saying the right word to the right person at the right time. It's essential to consider the symbolic value and its subjective resonances. In this sense, the concept of symbolic competence, coined by Kramsch (2006), emerges, complementing and refining the notions of communicative competence and intercultural communicative competence. Symbolic competence is, therefore, our ability to shape the context in which language is learned and used. From an ecological perspective of teaching, this competence includes a set of abstract and subjective skills: reframing, indexicality, desynchronization, and aestheticization. Given the importance of textbooks in language classrooms, the general aim of this work is to understand how symbolic competence is operationalized in the Portuguese as a foreign language textbooks Novo Avenida Brasil (volumes 1 and 2) and Nota 10. Specifically, we aim to: classify the symbolic competence (CS) skills developed in the textbooks; analyze the distribution of CS skills at levels A1 and A2; compare the presence of CS in Novo Avenida Brasil (volumes 1 and 2) and Nota 10; interpret the obtained results and correlate them with levels A1 and A2. To achieve this, we conducted descriptive research with a qualitative nature supported by quantitative data. We followed these methodological procedures: study of the theoretical framework on which we based our research; literature review of works addressing symbolic competence; data collection and tabulation, analysis of the presence of symbolic competence in the textbooks, considering levels A1 and A2. Our analysis category consists of linguistic, discursive, sociolinguistic skills; reframing, indexicality, desynchronization, and aestheticization. We base our work on authors such as Kramsch (2006, 2008, 2009b, 2021), Brown (2007), Hymes (1972), Canale and Swain (1980, 1980), Celce-Murcia (1990, 2007), Larsen-Freeman (2000), among others.
