THE LEARNING OF SUBJUNCTIVE PRESENT TENSE OF SPANISH IN TEMPORAL SENTENCES WITH CUANDO BY BRAZILIAN COLLEGE STUDENTS: THE EFFECTS OF INSTRUCTIONAL INTERVENTION IN LANGUAGE TRANSFER REDUCTION

Tasks as oral and written production were used to obtain data, which were submitted to Standard Normal Test. Twelve students from a private university participated in this study.

In a short term, the results suggested the reduction of the alternative forms. These reductions have kept stable in medium term, that is, there was a greater application of cases of language transfer in the pre-test and a reduction of its application in the post-instructional phases. Thus, starting from an inversely proportional relation, the pedagogical treatment had provided a durable effect on the learning of the subjunctive present tense in temporal sentences with cuando.
