Sisältö

This course is for beginners in Portuguese, whether Finnish or exchange students, and it focuses on Brazilian Portuguese. In this course, learners will develop their skills while also exploring Brazilian culture – with all its eccentricity and interesting peculiarities.

Suoritustavat

Each class session is a mixture of large-class lectures, in class discussions, and in class individual and group participation. When in class, learners are expected to actively participate and engage in coursework. In addition, students are also expected to complete simple, small homework assignments outside of class as part of their coursework. It is important to note that while this course focuses on developing the four language skills (speaking, listening, writing, and reading), grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and culture are integrated into the course syllabus in a natural and meaningful way.
