Demonstração da coerência dos conteúdos programáticos com os objetivos de aprendizagem da UC

The effective contemporary cultural diversity in schools is the reason why we must create an informal and formal space in each inservice training curriculum. We must support the debate and the reflexion about this issues. We want to develop a curriculum that provides good, scientific and large knowledge about linguistic and intercultural communication.
We want to empower students to be able to work in defying heterogeneous contexts and different points of view politics, social, local and internacional contexts.

Metodologias de ensino

We support students interventions with and from different documents:
a) reading, discussing and analyzing documents;

c) Discussion of films, texts and documents in each session;
d) organization of study visits to different cultural and linguistically contexts, in Setúbal and Lisboa;
