This article discusses the experience of two extension courses on the teaching of modal particles (MPs) at the National University of Córdoba (UNC) and the University of São Paulo
(USP). Using an original teaching material developed by a research group from USP, the study involved the application of questionnaires and field notes to assess: (i) the participants' profiles; (ii) their initial knowledge and needs regarding MPs; and (iii) the role of the course and the material in understanding the teaching and learning of MPs. Based on linguistic theories, the material employs the minimalist approach to create practical activities that help comprehend the meaning of MPs through authentic examples. The results reveal significant gaps in understanding the topic due to a lack of instruction and appropriate teaching materials. Participants' feedback indicates the relevance of this material in addressing the needs of students in Brazil and Argentina
concerning the teaching and learning of MPs.
