Abstract
The Brazilian Curriculum, the PCN, states that the teaching of Portuguese Language for the Secondary School must consider the communicative approach, i.e., the development of a meaning in which process the student interacts socially using the language that defines him as a person among other people. In the midst of the different modalities of the language to be learned (TRAVAGLIA, L. C. 1997), by students of a second year, is the “verb”. The purpose of this work is to support the construction of Portuguese verbs knowledge, through Information and Communication Technology, aiming, among others, the success of those pupils in exams for Brazilian universities. This action-research took place with second year students of an information technology course of a government institution, the IFSP, at Presidente Epitácio, a city in the countryside of São Paulo State. Concerning the grammar topics of Portuguese language, the methodologies that favor a collaborative learning (CHAGAS; LINHARES, 2014) with the use of ICT resources, like Cmap tools, mobiles, social network and google docs, may motivate and be effective.
