• Abstract:

  The present work is the result of Scientific Initiation research, financed by ``Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa de Alagoas`` - FAPEAL, with the objective of analyzing and reflecting on the textual understanding of students entering undergraduate courses offered by `` Universidade Estadual de Alagoas``, in Campus V, in União dos Palmares, resulting in the title “The textual understanding of those entering CAMUZP degree courses: Building paths”. As a theoretical framework we use ideas defended by Marcuschi (2008), Kleiman (2008), Santos (2006), Ferreira (2011), among others who follow this line of analysis. This investigation is quantitative-qualitative in nature and as a methodology a semi-structured questionnaire was applied, combined with the Cloze test elaborated from a narrative typology text applied to students in the first and second periods of Language courses: Portuguese, Languages: English, Pedagogy and Geography for the year 2022. The results of this study showed that the majority of higher education students in question present a good level of performance in terms of reading and understanding narrative text and the 'challenge' imposed through the test.
