Teaching-learning: reference and textual progression in higher education

This article discusses reference and textual progression in the written production of students in the PARFOR-Letras, Portuguese language. It was found that these students have difficulty in making their texts progress, as well as difficulties in the process of reference. We base our discussion on the hypothesis that these difficulties stem from the type of language teaching to which they were exposed. Useful strategies are suggested for the teaching of reference and textual progression.
