Teaching language
Portuguese
Intended learning outcomes (Knowledges, skills and competencies to be developed by the students)
Knowledge of a non-native language and culture leads to the development of new ways of communicating. This process is both intimately linked to the self and his or hers individuality, and to the subjects’ cultural diversity. Moreover, this process drives the improvement of communicative, personal relations and behavioural skills. Ultimately, these skills contribute to widening horizons by developing a spirit of understanding, openness and facilitating adaptation to an ever-changing society.
The ability of communicate in a non-native language is essential in both the multilingual and multicultural Europe and in the globalised world of today. By knowing the Portuguese Language and Culture (PLC) course the students will develop linguistically and culturally by combining the linguistic character of learning with the cultural character. Throughout the course we will also discusses the historical, geographical, political, literary and artistic framework behind the subjects taught.

- Personal identification

Demonstration of the syllabus coherence with the UC intended learning outcomes
As far as content is concerned the topics, expressions and vocabulary which will be privileged are those relating to daily life and to the area of personal experiences.
The grammatical structures will be studied in conjunction with the proposed topics, activities and tasks, the types of texts and the communicative needs of the students.
The approach towards the contents will be from a perspective of cyclical consolidation and progressive enlargement, taking into account the various levels of students’ knowledge of Portuguese. Thus there is a clear coherence of the syllabus with the UC intended learning outcomes.
Teaching methodologies
The methodology adopted is one that sees learning a foreign language as global, student-centered, topic-based, oriented towards action and autonomy, project –based, intercultural and reflective.
The work will be based on sequential tasks which are progressive and involve different levels of difficulty and which can be done individually or in groups.
Oral and written comprehension will be worked on through the analysis of different types of documents from different sources and will be linked to the topics selected.
Oral expression will be stimulated by participation in role plays of various everyday situations, the presentation of papers etc.
Written expression will be developed according to the interests and communicative needs of the students.

The unit evaluation will consist of:
- CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT (40%)
- Attendance and punctuality (10%)
- Oral participation in class activities, including discussions (20%)
- Writing- carrying out work, comprehension, and written expression and vocabulary enrichment – individually or in groups (10%)
- SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT (60%)
- Written tests of knowledge.
