Abstract

The aim of this study is to understand some hypotheses, variables and indicators that interferes reading and understanding texts in Portuguese, considering the daily socio-political history of users from more than one language and different dialects. It starts with the hypothesis that the way reading and comprehension is designed for graduate students who are learning Portuguese as a second language has a strong influence and different ways of understanding, interpretation and reflection under the kind of text.The survey was conducted in a public institution of higher education in East Timor, Southeast Asian country that has had its political independence restored in 2002 after 24 years of Indonesian oppression. At that time the Portuguese language was not allowed to be spoken and taught in East Timor. Through readings, observations, interviews and testimony seeks to theories, concepts and approaches in support of the object of research. It starts with the reading and some texts comprehension its use to circulate in East Timorese society. There was a fusion of some categories Bakhtinian language, sign language, comprehension, word against, otherness and phonetic transcription. Also search in Geraldi, the principles of the basic linguistic unit is the speech, and reading and understanding are extended areas of the human constitution and discursive practice. In East Timor, the practice discursive happen throught many languages and dialects in the same time. This study aims to show the importance of good language use and the fact that a word, phrase or text when used diverted and / or negative results may provide inadequate communication. It appears in reading activities and reading comprehension, the occurrence of inferences made sense and meaning from words phonetically transcribed and used in the Portuguese language Tetum, the national language, frank and primitive Timor-Leste. The choice of this theme has led to many achievements in research, among them, it is considered the most important: a basic primary education in the process of literacy graduates born in the period of Indonesian rule, the non-reading practice in Portuguese; the redemption process of the Portuguese language that has not yet turned in an effective way for higher education, the relation between reading and understanding through the phonetic spelling as a method of teaching and learning of a resistance to the Portuguese language in a systematic way, given socio-political ideologies. We also present the contribution in the areas of Reading and used in this work, highlighting the following: Ivo Castro (1991) and Thomaz (2002), Snow (2008), Xavier (1983), Hull (2001), Cagliari (1989) ; Bloom (1974), Zimmer (2010); Beaugrand (1997); Marcuschi (1985), Martins (1982), Freire (1982) and Perini (1980).
