| Sumario: | This research is a study on the practice of reading and writing aiming to analyze how academic literacy practices can imply in the performance of students in a Civil Engineering course. The methodology is based on mixed applied research, using questionnaires, applied to seventy-five students from the Civil Engineering course at the University Center of the Campanha Region, RS. The analysis regarding the purpose of reading is pertinent, since students stressed its relevance, as it improves vocabulary and allows for better communication and better writing. As for the presence of reading in engineering courses, students emphasize that it contributes to the interpretation and resolution of calculations. Thus, it is noticeable that the students who demonstrated to read more, presented better resourcefulness in the writing of their answers, while those who did not read, had difficulties in answering the proposed questions. |
