Língua: barreira no acesso a emprego em Moçambique ?

Abstract

With this work I want to test the hypothesis that individuals' insufficient linguistic and communicative competence in L2 (Portuguese) is a barrier to accessing employment in the multilingual Mozambican context. In order to achieve this, I focused my study on two areas: (1) the labor process of a company (Custódio Construções LDA.) from the recruitment phase, through its distribution in work sectors, to the results obtained in the work process; and (2) the written press, in particular job vacancy advertisements (Jornal "Notícias"). In order to achieve the objectives proposed here, I used a combination of specific data elicitation methods, specifically the interview and the questionnaire for (1) above, and surveyed a considerable number of job vacancy advertisements for (2) above. This work consists of five chapters, namely: Chapter I. Introduction; Chapter II. Bibliographical Review; Chapter m. Methodology; Chapter IV. Results and data analysis; Chapter V.
