RESUMO

The ideal acoustic conditions for an environment depend on the activity developed in it. In case of classrooms, to assure the sharpness of pronounced sounds, with sufficient intensity and without distortions it is necessary that the environment have a good acoustic execution, fostering learning. This preoccupation becomes even bigger when it comes to rooms destined to the teaching of a foreign language. This research focuses on evaluating the acoustic performance of reduced dimensions classrooms used in language schools aiming the quality of intelligibility. First of all, a survey of architectonic and constructive data of selected classrooms was done, and then some acoustic measurements were done through the impulsive technique. The parameters measured were: sound spectrum and global level pressure sound to measure the background noise; reverberation time, early decay time, definition; to evaluate the effect of the sound reflection of the classrooms; speech transmission index, rapid speech transmission index and percentage articulation loss of consonants, that evaluate the quality of intelligibility. With the achievement of acoustic measurement an analysis was done and also an argumentation of the found outcome to verify whether they meet the requirements to Brazilian acoustic comfort and indices recommended by national and international research. In all the classrooms evaluated it was not found that classroom that met all the acceptable recommendations for an acoustic comfort, which implicates the quality of intelligibility in those classrooms
