As a result, the study observed the development of media content creation from both individual and group perspectives, contributing to the enhancement of learners’ linguistic, sociolinguistic, and pragmatic competencies. In summary, the study found that the critical use of media in portuguese as aforeign language teaching fostered a more active, collaborative, and emancipatory learning experience. It underscores the importance of learners’ co-management of knowledge, using communication as the central axis of the educational process.
