A densidade de ideias e a complexidade gramatical na avaliação da produção escrita em português L2

Advanced L2 written production assessment is difficult to quantify as are learning goals established for this competence in the same level. Correction not enough. Quality writing expected translate into lexical precision and richness, well sentence complexity. In order measure these characteristics of sophisticated writing, Idea Density Grammatical Complexity proposed parameters they were explored by Snowdon et al. (1996) Kemper (2001) Nun Study (Snowdon 2001). Its adoption advanced Portuguese context (C1/C2) underlied study sentences produced two tasks: a synthesis prompt. First, results highly variable due heterogeneity group participants. Both measures found be correlated both tasks, which led conclusion that participants who write with richness also produce higher complexity sentences. Lastly, confirmed reading has an influence on quality, insofar students usually read ones got highest scores parameters.
