Abstract
"Since humans started to evolve, the changes were remarkable in many aspects of their surroundings including social, affective and educational aspects. As a result, the necessity of communication grew parallel to this phenomenon causing with this the awareness of creating innovative and better systems to prepare new generations to face the changes. However, for some areas the search for better opportunities were based on learning other customs, behaviors or languages. This study was carried out at a public university in a faculty of modern languages, which has a conversation workshop for SL learners. The primary objectives of this study were to investigate what motivates students to attend the conversation workshop, analyze students’ behavior in an autonomous environment as well as to analyze the features that make the conversation workshop a good alternative to practice the oral production. The research findings reveal that students that had attended the workshop had several personal and linguistic changes. In some cases, they became more confident when participating or speaking in front an audience".
