In Portuguese, voiceless and voiced anterior fricatives constitute phonemes and can contrast (CAMARA JR, 1977). In Spanish, while voiceless fricatives form phonemes, voiced fricatives only appear in this language or as positional allophones or in cases of voicing assimilation (HUALDE, 2014). This research aims to analyze the pronouncing strategies and to investigate the effects of phonetics explicit instruction in production and perception of voiced anterior fricatives by Latin-American Spanish speakers learners of Brazilian Portuguese. The results indicate, based on Theories of L2 Speech Perception (FLEGE, 1995; BEST, 1995; BEST; TYLER, 2007) and on a dynamical view of L2 development (LARSEN-FREEMAN, 1997; VERSPOOR, LOWIE, DE BOT, 2007), among other aspects, that explicit instruction is, surely, an indispensable tool for pronouncing teaching in Portuguese as a Foreign Language classes.
